Still quite upset I wasn’t able to attend, maybe next time though! Congratulations to all!

I wish I could attend, I’ll be there in spirit though! Unfortunately I work the weekends… ?

Oh wow, it looks like someone is trying to out-beat me at my own art, creating long “nosebleed” discussions, I love it!

Firstly, I’d like to say that this discussion is extremely detailed, and supported by facts. This to me, is why I decided to read the discussion for its entirety… and YOU should too!

OldCP has definitely far exceeded itself away from its “glory days”, and to be honest, has become quite obsolete. Personally, it still amazes me to this day that OldCP (and the DSGHQ) are still both up & running, and functional w/ still a (small) but mighty audience of dedicated users.

I’ve been saying this for quite sometime now, and I am in support of your discussion here. There’s no debating the facts, they’re already visible to all. I believe it would be wise to simply allow OldCP to finally get the well deserved rest, the game in and out of itself has earned it! We should have one last “get together” to celebrate, reminisce, and discuss the history of OldCP & acknowledge as well as bring forth recognition to all of the outstanding users/people who have made OldCP achieve all of its greatness and prosperity.

Having joined OldCP back in the start of 2013, and still being active within the community now in 2022, and couldn’t help but be saddened about the decline in popularity, but it was indeed expected after all. I’ve created relationships that I am forever blessed of, (e.g. meeting my best friend Amanda, who I have flown to California to meet in-person!)… to me, OldCP was more than just a game to pass the time, it was and forever will be a family. We’ve gained and lost so many users, some of which I still remember to this day, as well as often wonder “hey, wonder what ever happened to this person…”, etc. I sincerely think that this in and out of itself embraces just how impactful OldCP was to not only me, but all of those who are still with us today.

As I’d like to conclude, I’d like to just state that I am beyond thankful and honored to have been apart of a community that truly embodied my childhood, and assisted me in becoming the person I am today, thank you to all of those who have genuinely made this place memorable. ❤️

Honestly, my best recommendation is "shut down" prior to sleep. Go off of your electronics, relax, and maybe drink some sleep-time tea... Remind yourself that you've done everything possible to ace this exam, you've studied, prepared, and will ace it, and be confident. I'm sure you'll do great! Sleep is vital for all of us, but it can be troublesome when we're constantly in a worried state of mind. That's why I believe just shutting everything off works best for me, I also tend to take Melatonin & Magnesium, it helps me sleep as well.

Best of luck, everyone! ?✨

First off, welcome back!
It’s always so refreshing to see older users make their way back here. It validates how huge the community is, and how much of an impact it has had on all of us in some form or fashion.

Again, it’s great to see you’re back! ?

Your artistic abilities are nothing far from exemplary! Personally, I believe you have a true talent, and you should utilize it. If you lean away from something, with time those skills lessen. Push yourself as much as you can, because your art is truly magnificent. ?

Absolutely marvelous! The first picture is definitely background worthy.

Don't fret, I have extensive training on how to take care of individuals with dementia, I'll gladly take care of Mr. Dice!

Hello, hello!
I'd just like to make a quick comment here... your application is fantastic. I can see that you took your time on it, and you explained everything seamlessly. Personally, I sincerely believe you would make a fantastic addition to the DSGHQ staff. You have impeccable grammar, spelling, and punctuation. All three of those are vital components for any staff member to have.

I would also like to add that it truly does warm my heart that you included your Penguin Watch experience. Back when OldCP was more active, I believe the Penguin Watch was very important in teaching all users who had the opportunity to grow within the watch, vital attributes and skills. As you also stated, I'm very happy to hear that the Penguin Watch made you feel welcome within the community, as well as noticed... that was always one of my biggest goals as Senior Captain. Thank you for including that piece of information within your application, I am beyond content that your experience within the Penguin Watch was nothing far from good. G'luck!

Alright, your concerns have been taken into account. I believe the original purpose of this discussion is currently being smeared by personal opinions, and therefore, I will be locking this discussion to prevent drama.

If you have any further issues, especially regarding staff, I would take all of your concerns to Damen himself, he would be the best resort to go to with anything regarding the DSGHQ staff.

Another fantastic resource available to all users would be to address any and all issues/inquires using our “Help” tab. You can address any issues/concerns here… https://forums.damenspike.com/tickets. Thanks!

I’m always awestruck by how you’re able to put users into various categories ranging in topic… I’d like to see it as a talent!

Minecraft will forever hold a special place in my heart, hands down.

Ah, Penguin Isles... such a short-lived game. I personally LOVED it, however, some not so much.

Shockingly, I am not much of a reader... however, I have enjoyed reading certain stories. None however are "series" per se, but I'll list them down below regardless, they're definitely worth a read.

• Tuesdays with Morrie
• The Five People You Meet in Heaven
• The Help

^ all three of the above books also have fantastic movies associated with them!
