I say we teach baby monk how to find the server herself! That way burned will fear for his life!
I remember the days of TDM suffering, CQ was still rocking. This was during the time in moon's phase that admins were still either just TDM or CQ admins. Grant it they could admin either one. Shortly before that time I was strictly a CQ admin because I liked the variety. But I knew the "old" server needed everyone's help. Luckily they had section 8 and burned in the beginning of the evening for the eastern time. Death man and I did our best to keep it going into the evening on the other side of the states. Hell, we would even spend nights in ts together, one running CQ, the other on TDM. Otherwise it got to boring. Eventually one server had to faulter. To some of ours dismay, our home of CQ fell short, but TDM became strong, supported other games for a considerable amount of time, even after issues with pb, ea, and game spy. I can not ever remember a time before or after this that effort that so much trust was put into admins. I can't even remember hours of chats deathman and I would have with Birney and Section about how the server was doing at night, on suggestions of admins that could help us out. Some of these admins are still admins, some are even Sr's at this point, others have their troubles, faults and have either moved on, or fixed them and continue to prove just how stong moon is.
I really wish my previous post was true, but to be honest, I don't have a favorite 1942 memory. Instead I have a bunch of people that are more than just companions on a game. I have friends that I should talk to more often, people that I have listed as references on job applications because of the countless hours of volunteer work. I have learned how to interact with others of all ages, from different countries, languages, views in life. All of which has helped me in my job of teaching international students how fonp fly in America so that they too can fly the dream job.
My favorite thing is not bf1942, it is the people who gave me a second chance, taught me plenty of lessons, allowed me to grow from my freshmen year of high school. To those who are wondering how long that has been, I just graduated college with a BAS in aerospace. I wish I had more time to give in the server and in ts. Not because of tag associated with my name, but the interactions from the people I happily call my friends.
