Prepare for a long block of text. Will have TL;DR at end. Disclaimer: Most of this is me venting, and has no real impact onto how to imrpove the community. I want to get this off of my back, and move on with my life. Well, my time has come. It feels good to finally leave this community, mostly because I feel as if the 4 years I've been here haven't been the best in my life. Even with all the friendship's I've had with some people in this community, I feel like the negative impact of trolls & general toxicity of this place have altered my personality towards the more negative side of the spectrum. In BOTH real life, and on the internet. Since I joined back in 2012, I've noticed that I've been on my computer for unrealistic, and unhealthy amounts of time. Mostly due to talking on TS3, playing CS:S, GMOD, or CS:GO on your servers. My grades have dropped, I've lost good IRL friends, and have just turned into a more negative and anti-social person due to this community. You may be asking: Oh, how could an INTERNET GAMING COMMUNITY have this great of an impact on someones life? Well, I was once an extremely enthusiastic, fun, and caring person before joining this toxic place. I loved talking, being outside, exercising, and enjoying life away from the computer. But now... now the only thing I look forward to is getting back on the PC to do stupid shit or even troll when I'm bored. And that's not who I want to be. And with all these negatives, it still gets worse. I don't really enjoy the game like I used to in 2012. It used to be that I could REALLY enjoy JB or MG, and not have to worry about "some annoying kid" joining and ruining it for me. But "annoying kid" is most of these new members. But yet, I still force myself to talk to them, for a reason that I don't know. And it's really hindering my personality towards being a more hostile and unlikable person. As far as the good things that I've experienced about this community, and I'm quite thankful for, is he friends/relationships I've developed with some of you. I've found myself still talking to, daily, people from 4 years ago. And to me, that's amazing! Great friends made over such a hostile place. WHO KNEW? I'd also like to critique xG on my way out. I REALLY hate what the leadership has turned into, or what it's ever been. If you're a good friend with a DM+, you're basically guaranteed to get staff, or be able to help with the community more than someone who doesn't really talk to staff. I've also found that they can be cold, and "assholish" at times. Getting alittle side tracked, but I've seen MANY times people get mod/admin just because they're friends with the DM/DL. And it's quite frankly the most ANNOYING thing to see when trying to get promoted. I don't want to call anyone out, but if you got promoted for not playing, and just being friends with a DM/DL, fuck off. That's the most bull shit thing I've ever seen. I REALLY suggest you work on eliminating this out of you're DM/DLs @Aegean @Rhododendron . As it could be a good thing to help improve this community. I'm also not making maps exclusively for xG anymore. Any bugs/fixes should be fixed by @Lithium. And as far as any maps that I port/make, you can follow my gamebanana if you really want to. Hexx1 (Members) - GAMEBANANA TL;DR : I talked about how xG has had a negative impact on my life, and that they need to fix how they promote people. Rather than promote people they like, promote people who deserve it due to activity/maturity. Not because you guys think alike. Best regards, Charles.

Well this is obviously a shitty situation, I didn't know how you were 2013-late 2016 but I do agree that it'll be best if you leave if that's how you feel. I will just explain why it's easier for a person to get mod if they are friends with staff and active on TS than otherwise. The staff knows the member much more, and as such, it's easier to tell if he's active, interested in being staff, and if he is (or seems) capable. That's why we have mod apps as well, and why we always ask for the community input. It is also why it takes multiple staff behind the scenes to promote/demote someone. Regardless, stuff like this is completely common in any gaming community that doesn't have 24/7 populated servers with staff that are on 24/7. Also compared to a workplace where you work 9-5, in a gaming server it's very common to make friends with staff who are generally the most active and most well known. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck, thanks for all the maps you have ported for us, and regardless of you leaving xG that you at least stay in touch with the friends you made once in a while.

I'll be going to Youmacon to slay some weeb poon.

brightowl was the wifi password my router came with minus a word and here we are wow!

Gratz Schpetzel!

In-Game Name: Bɪʟʟ·s Gɪʙᴜs Active Division: Team Fortress 2 Previously a Member in xG: No Steam ID: Steam ID (STEAM_0:1:87853426) Banned: Yes Active on Teamspeak: No Time Active on Servers: About 11 months Age: 15 Reasons for Joining: I've always wanted to join xG because I personally think that it's a great community. Ever since my last application I've been playing on some more of the xG servers like the Pokemon trade servers and I've been more active.I know I can be toxic and whatnot with my binds and my lenny faces but I promise to stop using those like every 5 seconds. I know more of some of the members that I've never really heard about or even seen like, by the way I'm going by Steam usernames, Flareon, Arbok (as of October/2/2016), Parasect, and TheSupremePatriot, and yes, I know that I've been banned before but that was when I thought that this was just some lame community so I didn't really take any of the rules or anything seriously. Now I've seen the community and the hard work you guys put into making Xeno Gamers. tl;dr: This community is great and I hope to be a part of it.

For all my pimps an hoes Its ya boi What it do everyone

Sup LostCause here, older member from the land before time. Been around. Been chillin. Mainly used to play CSS and used to be an admin and stuff. I occasionally stop by the xG servers sometimes so you might have met me once or twice. If you haven't good news is you might start seeing my face around here a lot more now that my life is somewhat stable and I can actually find the time to relax and play some video games and shit. You'll probably find me on csgo.

Free @tree

I was unbanned from server not from ct. So I needed to make another ban request specifically.

even avoids xG membership LUL

I got my name back when the Wii was a new thing, I made a throwaway Mii to test out the system fully intending to make a better suited one, I had one of those tubs of mixed nuts and was feeling particularly uncreative. Time passed and I still used the throwaway. Fast forward to when I needed an email for something (I forget what) and I used the mrnutty12 name because the one I had wanted was already taken. From there mrnutty12 just became my default name for anything to this day.

I got my name from a Alien name alfmonster.

You have only been on the server for one day, I would highly recommend hanging out in the server for at least a month and then try applying. I don't think you will have any luck on this application.. Sorry :( To make it so you can apply quicker when you have been in the servers more, I recommend you have this one requested to be closed instead of having to wait 60 days in total. Just a suggestion.

are you suggesting hat day? but for the whole loadout?

SERBIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where the fuck have you been my 8ft serb friend
