Well.

Alright, I will try to make this as brief as possible, as
reading a wall of text written by a guy who a) is an idiot, and
b) is 'socially awkward', isn't always a fun thing to do. The
passage below is what some may describe as a 'good bye message',
others may call it a 'rant', but I'd leave that to the reader(s)
as I couldn't decide myself what to describe it as.
Recently, as you may or may not know, the server has undergone a
'big change' where everything was reverted to it's defaults
(e.g. new servers, re-applying of the staff members, and etc.).
Initially, it didn't have much of an impact, if at all, on me
personally, but for no particular reason I held myself back from
my re-applying attempt. I later realized that it's a good thing
to do, as climbing a latter once more adds another layer of
'challenge' (and a purpose) to the game, or so I thought. I've
just recently realized that it was a horrible idea, as I did not
enjoy my first step on the latter (i.e getting Member) at all -
I found it boring and laborious. Adding the fact that CC's on
'life support' makes the matter even worse for me.
With all that, I don't know whether if I should continue - not
just on this server, but on CC in general. Personally, I feel
like this is such a waste; I owe MCClassic a portion of my
knowledge, I owe MCClassic my meetings of great people, and some
other things. I would like to extend my involvement in it, but
seeing that I can't get any enjoyment out of it, I'd doubt I
could.

I think 'life support' is the right phrase for the current
situation CC is in. I doubt that anyone can save the game now.
Or, at least, not this way - people keep developing more and
more server softwares, developing clients, starting new servers
while there's nobody and nothing to compete against. The
community just keeps splitting into smaller and smaller groups,
instead of uniting into larger groups which could make a change.
There are more servers than active players and more server
softwares than active servers. The community needs a big change.
Also, it's true that we all owe Minecraft Classic so much. I
don't care about building as much as I used before, now it's
mostly the people what makes me want to join the game. And since
people are leaving, it's just getting worse.
Well, anyways, I wish you the best in your life and hope to see
you again soon, comrade. Maybe you could check our late night
IRC conversations sometime.

I will of course be on IRC some time or another when I'm bored,
'cause normally talking to IRL friends isn't as fun, haha. I
completely agree with you on what people do; they're essentially
trying to spend thousands for one or two (speaking
metaphorically) right now. And now that you've said it, I felt
like I'm part of the problem by quitting. If that ever happened
to be the case, then I apologize.

You guys don't even try to help out sustain the community so
what do you expect? I get kinda tired of hearing this cause some
people actually put so much effort in saving classicube there
there's those people who say 'Classicube is dead' and stuff like
that. And since January, classicube have been sustaining
classic, that's 8 months. Also look at what MineManiacs did,
they brought like 20-30 more people to classicube so just
imagine what will happen if other communities come back to life!

This just influences people negatively resulting in more people
leaving classicube, is that what you want?? And if not then why
even say that about it, you're not helping the people who
actually like this game.
I can't force you to stay, but you aren't really helping those
who love the game. Recently this server, both ctf and map build,
has been reaching up to at least 10 players frequently so that's
20 more players, right? So how can you actually say it's boring
when you don't even explore. And if I'm correct you're never
actually on to witness how fun it actually is on the server
sometimes

It's a matter of perspective; a year ago Jonny told me 'it's
dead', and I didn't believe him, hence why I was here for
another year. I thought the same as you towards him, but that's
besides the point.
My OP didn't describe the community, nor to what degree it
is/was able to provide entertainment/enjoyment, it was solely
about me. And before you raise a 'contradiction' flag at me, let
me explain: I've had this idea of 'it's dying' long before I
joined your server (right before MCForge pulled the plugged on
their projects), but that didn't stop me from playing on
MCClassic - It's partly my fault for using it's as an excuse in
the OP, to which I have to apologize.
It's true I wasn't there on certain times when it's fun, or at
least what you described as 'fun', but other times I was, such
as the Rousmoselle incident (or h/e you spell it) - at least I
think it's 'fun' from your perspective. It is true that you guys
were able to enjoy those times, but I can't. Call me a drama
king/queen all you wan't, but this is sometimes a problem IRL as
well; I don't know how to put myself to join other's sometimes,
and I ended up feeling like I was either sitting/walking alone
despite being around 5 to 10 people. I'll say it once more,
short and simple, it's about me.
