I'm not entirely sure where I'd like to begin with this. I started on EMC back in April 2015, 6 months after my dad had died and I was only 12 1/2 years old. Shout out and apologies to anyone who knew me as crazyminerpete and still stayed friends with me I was going through a lot emotionally at the time as you'd probably guess, and there were some even bigger issues compounding it in my family which I won't get into publicly. EMC became my place to go to hide from those things, and I see now it was not good for me, however at the same time, I am extremely grateful to all of you, but especially to the close friends I've had over the years, those who've left and those who are still here. I passed the 5 year milestone on EMC in April this year, and I will be turning 18 at the end of this year. I've come to realise I need to move on with my life and find out what I want to do with myself. I'm still going to be kicking around chatting with people and helping out a few friends, but for the most part I am finished. Over the years I've done a lot of things I wanted to do, as well as some things I wish I hadn't, and there's still so much I never got to do. But I am ready to move to the next chapter of my life. EMC's taken me a long way, I've got a lot of helpful advice from people here and learned so much. I am a completely different person from who I used to be when I joined and that is in no small part because of the people here. I wish you all the best, and I will still be here from time to time so this isn't a permanent goodbye. I'm just done playing minecraft seriously. I am going to hold an event some time in the next 2 weeks which will have its own thread. I have been wanting to do this event for the last 2 years and had planned it for my 5 year anniversary, and I feel it's a fitting note to say goodbye on. It will have it's own thread, so keep an eye out for that. This is also an AMA. Feel free to ask whatever questions you like
Congrats on 5 years! What's your favorite Memory on EMC? (Can also be some of your favorite memories)
