Please Note: The TotalFreedom Forum has now been put into a read-only mode. Total Freedom has now closed down and will not be returning in any way, shape or form. It has been a pleasure to lead this community and I wish you all the best for your futures.

    Welp, end of an era, folks.


    I remember looking for a new server to join, way back in 2010 or 2011. Found some "Free Op" server and thought it would be pretty cool.
    That server was "Total Freedom"

    So I loaded up MC, joined the server, and was seeing people flying around and building things that would be impossible without flying and a /give command. Heck, even the Server Owner was online sometimes as Notch. (I understand the future server owners were online occasionally too, but that's beside the point here)
    This was before Creative Mode and TFM. Everyone had to work together to keep the rule breakers and ban-bypassers at bay.

    About 1 year into my time on TF I decided this was the server I would stick with for a long time.

    I became admin, then TFM came around without me knowing, and I did an oopsie trying to ban someone I thought was imposing as an admin. I got banned for idk how long, but I stopped coming around for about a year.

    I've had at least 2 times where I got in trouble for something. These times made me a better admin.

    Anyway, time passed, people and drama came and went, but overall the server still stood strong.

    13 years is how long TF has been going strong. That's impressive for ANY video game server.

    It's been good, folks. I'm glad to have been part of this community no matter how much or little I've been a part of it, and I'm still glad to have been here the whole time.

    Despite whatever drama and obstacles may come about, I still love this community. I'm going to miss it far more than words can describe.

    To all the people I've pissed off and potentially became enemies with over the past 13 years, I'm sorry.

    To all the people I've made friends with over the past 13 years, I appreciate you more than I may show/have shown.


    Overall, it's time to move on. Everyone needs to learn to let go at some point in their lives. Now it's time for the people of TF to let go and move on.

    (Assuming TF never comes back in some way, somehow)

    It's been a long 13 years, I'm glad to have been part of this community.

    I've become a better person with everything I've learned in my experience here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one this applies to.

    You can still find me on Discord. Feel free to add me, although I cannot promise that we will have conversations often, or even at all.

    I'm a recluse and tend not to reach out to chat with people I don't know well. But I'm good at sending memes.

    "Through tearful eyes, break the ties, to seek the calm that underlies. In letting go, your soul relies; For peace to bloom, old bonds must die."

    Farewell, Total Freedom.

    Copy-Pasting this from Discord to here.
    PS: I now know that freedom-02 is gone but we could make a new one and make/name it "Anarchy".

    We could turn freedom-02 into Anarchy and just:

    • Unblock all the blocks, except for command-blocks.
    • Limit WorldGuard perms to only be for trusted users, and those trusted users get more perms than standard OPs.
    • Remove ranks like in SMP, but leave a selected few committed moderators to keep people from ruining the server in whatever way possible.
    • Limit the WorldEdit maximum size.

      burger America has the firepower to end wars, but at the cost of collateral damage.
    The Afghan War is very similar to the Vietnam War. Both ended with troop evacuations which also had locals clinging to aircraft. Both were fought and ended in vain. It's also not easy to fight an enemy that hides among civilians and uses civilians and children for their dirty work, for psychological warfare.

    USA should've never been in Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle-East.
    USA was never meant to be a white-knight for other countries - the USA can't even take care of their own.

    The transparency in this thread is refreshing and much appreciated.

    Though I haven't read through all of it, mostly because it's of no importance to me, it's good that you let yourself explain (lack of a better word) the process and why things went tits-up.
    There's a first-time for everything, and first-times are learning experiences.

    I propose that we remove the duplicate RainbowParrot emotes, and use the rest of the emoji slots on a selection of emojis we can share in this thread.

    You can find emojis that are ready to be added, here and here.
    You can upload emojis and paste the links in this thread, using https://imgbb.com/

    Pre-requisites:

    • The emoji's file size must be below 128x128p and 256kb
    • All Emoji's you want added, must be SFW; If you want NSFW emotes, find servers with them or make your own server and add them yourself.

    The situation from the screenshots referring to when I said fssp has had too few strokes, has already been dealt with. Fssp said he forgave me, "by principle". I apologized to fssp after he said he had another stroke ("I'm sorry to hear that"). You could look for it in the discord but it's probably from before Seth deleted TF.

    I choose not to forgive fssp for what warranted his own suspension. I choose not to forgive icksp for collaborating with you and fssp, and acting out towards Wild in the discord when fssp got suspended. I choose not to forgive you, Moriarty, for association and collaboration - same for Paldiu, since he's such a dear friend of you 3.
    I'm still expecting temporarily perfect behavior from fssp and icksp for the sake of reinstatement. But I digress.

    I edited in that I do not forgive the three of you, because I wanted to make it clear that we're still not on good terms, says me. We never will be, since the quest for superiority never ends.
    I'd also rather not have someone pretend to care about me.
    As Codex says, that sometimes I'll have to work with people I won't like; I'm just gonna have to tolerate, bite my tongue off, and let it out with a workout, when we have another problem.

    Thank you for calling me a coward, by the way. As if me being an escapist/survivor wasn't "cowardly" enough.

    I meant useless as in I can't do any admin duties, so even if I wanted to, I can't help with a grief or whatever problem there may be, like trying to start the server from Discord.

    Just because I didn't acknowledge the rest of what you said, does not mean I don't get what you mean. Does this reply count as fighting my suspension? It shouldn't, and even though I may have taken the bait, I'm not going to leave context unclear - unlike most evidence; especially on TF.

    @fssp#6861 My mental health is a result of circumstances outside of what I do on the internet. The internet is one of many forms of my escape from this hellish world. Thank you.
    Your reply is sweet and all, but I don't plan on forgiving you, Moriarty and/or icksp.

    The last screenshot is my chats from yesterday. There are a few lines that do not belong and it would be better if relevant messages were shown for context. Especially date-stamping.

    However, I do deserve this suspension. Let it be a reminder for me to control my temper and have others to go to, to handle problems - or else I'll lose more than just admin.

    The ones I've told off in the other screenshots do not deserve an apology from me - if you know, you know.
    Paldiu, on the other hand, deserves an apology from me. We have since talked it out.

    The TF community that has had to see me flip out, deserves my apology.

    I cannot guarantee I'll improve, but I shall remind myself of the high standards of Senior, for the future. I'm sorry for what most of you have seen from me. You do not have to tell me you accept my apology, just take it and leave it.

    Time to enjoy being useless for 2 weeks.
