Hello everyone
I would like to take this time to give a shoutout to a beloved member of the community and a dear friend of mine, @Semicolon Backslash. This has nothing to do with birthdays, resignations, or any particularly important event. I want it to be as genuine as you are.
If you aren't familiar with who I'm talking about. Semicolon is a member of our jailbreak server and is currently a gameserver admin. He also serves as a mapper/coder, providing new content not just for panda but also other jailbreak communities to enjoy in addition to fixes within the tf2jail plugin. Whether anyone has noticed or not, Semicolon has spent hours upon hours to improve the overall experience of the TF2 community as a whole when it was never asked or required from him. He's gone out of his way to please the requests and suggestions of members in our jailbreak community by creating maps and helping implement other suggestions into our server that most people wouldn't be capable of doing. When people had questions or problems, Semicolon is always one of the first people to stand up and also go out of his way to aid people in need. Above all else, Semicolon has been a good friend of mine. So now I want to be an even better friend and leave you this, thank you pal.
If not for Semicolon, I think I would not be a member of this community today. I remember sometime back in 2019 being frustrated with the overall direction and status of jailbreak with updates being heavily delayed, admins acting out of line, the server generally trending downward in overall popularity eventually reaching a point where it was completely dead, only having players on the weekends occasionally. I remember around this time Semicolon stepped up and started learning hammer and coding, after a few months he launched jb_orange and jb_8bit. Around this time our jailbreak server started gaining interest with some old and new regulars alike, and suddenly the server was active again. I don't want to be THAT guy and point fingers because frankly it was due to alot of peoples help, but I want to give big credit to Semicolon because I know not alot of people have properly thanked him for his contribution and dedication going above and beyond to help. Even today especially. Whenever a map is completed, a suggestion involving tinkering the plugin, any testing/fixes are needed and completely by him, I feel the community has started taking this kind of work for granted including me. So, I want to make it known how Important you are to the community here because I know I've neglected to show otherwise.
Thanks for reading my feedback.
