The End of BrokenLens Servers

SirBenjys said:
Honestly, considering that I've been on the forums far less than 1% of my waking time for the last 20 months and on the server even less, I'm surprised that I happened to log in today when this message was posted. Not a more opportune time could have been selected! I can't say I'm shocked, because very little shocks me. But, I was picturing logging into the forums 30 years from now for the first time, say, in 15 years and perhaps chuckling to myself about how the server has thrived over the years without my constant maintenance.


Oof.


(Excuse my dark sense of humor).


I probably joined BL at the least ideal time in my life--let's just say, I was not ready for online interaction (even if people viewed me as being polite and clean-mouthed). Additionally, I left the server right around the time that by the grace of God (yes, by the grace of God) I began to escape from the most hopeless and meaningless time of my life. Am I saying that was BL's fault? Lol no--correlation does not equate causation, kids. I was fully responsible for my problems, and BL did what it was made for--it was a great server with a thriving community that fought together with the administration to protect its young players (and as I would argue, its older ones in the same way) by putting down all kinds of players who breached the guidelines set forth. I still like the server, and although I don't have time to play much anymore, it has been in many ways a bright spot in my life, even if from my perspective it is stained with the consequences of my actions.


Thanks for the good times, vertx (et al.).


Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,
“I have no pleasure in them”:
While the sun and the light,
The moon and the stars,
Are not darkened,
And the clouds do not return after the rain;
In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,
And the strong men bow down;
When the grinders cease because they are few,
And those that look through the windows grow dim;
When the doors are shut in the streets,
And the sound of grinding is low;
When one rises up at the sound of a bird,
And all the daughters of music are brought low.
Also they are afraid of height,
And of terrors in the way;
When the almond tree blossoms,
The grasshopper is a burden,
And desire fails.
For man goes to his eternal home,
And the mourners go about the streets.

Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well.
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“All is vanity.”

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

-- Ecclesiastes 12
