I meant to post this a lot sooner, but I kept thinking that people really wouldn't care that much, cause....I mean....who would really want to listen to someone who has a bad reputation in the FreeOP scene because of his past, am I right?
Some things I should mention first.
I try to be as detailed as possible when talking about stuff, be it "When I joined this server", "When I made this server", "Why I joined this server", so on and so forth. Not everything is going to be 100% correct, that's just because I have the worst memory out of anyone on this server, it's true. Everything I say is 100% factual, I do have witnesses and people that will also say that it is true, but I'd rather not bring them into this post.
With that out of the way, let's get started.
In the beginning (2018-2019)
Around late 2018 - early 2019, I joined my first FreeOP server ever. I got bored of playing Hypixel and other like SMP stuff, and I wanted chaos, I wanted....more....so I joined the UnstoppableGamers (also referred to as UPGamers) server, very quickly I became familiar with everything and started forming bonds with people. I discovered plugins I have never seen before (DiscordSRV, TFM, ItemEdit, Skript, etc.) and was blown away, just the fact that you can bridge Discord and MC blew my mind as a 13-14 year old. As time went on, I found another server (can't remember how, probably by word of mouth) called FreedomForever. Now, this server was decent sized, but had a giant flaw......the owner.......and the fact that he broke the TFM license (removed the FrontDoor lmfao). This person's name was F_x. Now, F_x was famously known for being an absolute pest and an asshole to other people. Constant complaints about DDoSing, doxing, leaking IP addresses, racism, etc. Now, you might be wondering, why join that server in the first place if you already knew about that stuff? Well, I didn't know at all, and I didn't find out until I became an Admin on that server. I figured something was fishy about that server because when I joined the Discord server for the first time, F_x had mistaken me for an old Telnet Admin who had jacked the server or something, I don't remember exactly what it was, but I knew something was weird at that point. Fast forward a few months and I claim the Administrator position. Over time, I would be constantly suspended and reinstated due to being "inactive"......I literally just went to sleep.....come on dude. Fast forward about a few more months (around spring/summer time), a user by the name of GrammarLikes (a Senior Mod at the time - most of you probably know him as either _Fsc or Prolect) hit me up in DMs and was like "I'm really not liking FF anymore, the owner is too abusive and an asshole, what do you say we make a server similar to this". Thus starts the era of SimulationOP, my first ever Minecraft server that I owned.
Chapter 2 - The start of a new era (2019-2020)
Around this time, it was probably just hitting summer time, school had just let out for me, I was still an Admin (maybe Telnet Admin? I don't remember) on FF, and SimulationOP was just starting to get new players and we're experimenting with staff. Towards the middle of June, my family had something really unexpected happen, which led me to take a massive break from managing servers and all that, obviously, SimOP staff was fine with it, F_x would've wanted it to be me instead who died but, it's whatever, y'know? Anyways, shortly after all of this had happened, F_x had promoted me to Executive after doing literally fucking nothing, eventually FF shut down for a little bit and switched from using a fork of TFM to using PermissionsEx (ew).
Around this time, I was still an Executive (but eventually will be demoted for something and put back at Admin LOL), and a person who will remain unnamed was also reinstated as Admin. Now, you might be wondering "well, what's so interesting about this?" Well, F_x had just gotten into his first out of 20 gazillion relationships and all of the sudden, his behavior changed ever so slightly. I'm going to leave out the absolutely freaky ass shit he said to me (mind you, I was 15, he was probably like 14 or something). This led me to eventually leave for a while because I did not want to be around that....thing. SimulationOP was still going strong (this was around 2020 maybe) and we were peaking at around 10-20 players very often. Little did I realize that I would also be removed from THAT community as well because at the time, _Fsc was a prick and his sense of humor was terrible, so as a joke, me and that same person who shall not be named used the "spam" channel to our advantage and spammed the shit out of him until we got blacklisted from the server and stripped of our rank (we were both very high ranked staff members [Owners]). After a few days, he finally decided to man up and unban us and give our ranks back. FreedomForever, on the other hand? Yeah, that would switch to LuckPerms, be infiltrated by F_x alts (most notably 4785) and get jacked by one of our staff members with a LuckPerms exploit
. I would also be given Console access to FreedomForever (nothing more than that sadly) only for a short amount of time. This all happened within a few months of each other. Fast forward a couple of years, I eventually just get suspended from FreedomForever for something stupid, SimOP had just gotten raided by a Spanish YouTuber and was just.....full of chaos. Which to be fair, is what I wished for when I first joined the FreeOP scene, but believe me, as a staff member, it was the last thing I wanted. Trying to moderate 2 servers at a time PLUS Discord servers with all of this shit happened, I don't know how I did it.
Chapter 3 - The shutdowns (2020-2021)
Around this time, TotalFreedom had shut down for another time (The Seth era), SimulationOP was just about ready to shut down after years of chaos and betrayal and a bunch of other stupid shit, and FreedomForever had just shutdown.........or did it? Does the name MCFreedom ring a bell? Well, that was FreedomForever, just re-created from the ground up and was owned by F_x, just under a different name (MCFDE, Discord name MCF, eventually becoming 0xLonelyDeath, so on and so forth, ending with SickShitposter), I knew for a fact it was him because when the server first started, F_x's main account was already an Executive, which confused me, but moving on. I applied for staff again and got accepted as a Trial-Mod then slowly but surely making my way back to what I was before, an Executive. Sure, it took a while of being an Admin, but it was worth it (not really). It was around this time where I had created a server with someone else, used a backup of SimOP's files and called it our own. F_x somehow kept getting the bot token for all of our DiscordSRV bots and jacked the server whenever he could (Thanks Allink for telling me about this). After a while, we shut that down. Then, in 2021 started what is known today as KoolFreedom. I would also go on to apply for Hub Mod (I was one of the first people to do so) when that launched and was accepted even though a few people (not going to name names) did not really see me fit for being a staff member on TF as a result of my past. Which, to be honest, I don't blame you guys. I was an asshole.
Did all of these servers shut down permanently, yes except for FreedomForever (now MCFreedom which is now actually shut down for good) and TotalFreedom (which is also now shut down for good as of writing this post). Just goes to show how much people can't let go lol.
Chapter 4 - Finale (2021-present)
After being a slave to the system known as F_x for far too long, I took matters into my own hands and made my own server from scratch and localhosted it for a few years (up until 2022). It started off as being a Survival server, then it went to Factions, then it went back to survival and finally landed on FreeOP. It was a wild ride to get to that point but it's whatever. MCFreedom was still going on, I was an Executive for a while, told F_x to kill himself as well as a word that I can't say, got suspended, got reinstated shortly after, and ended up being the Co-Owner for the remainder of my time there. Fun times. After that happened, KoolFreedom was just starting to see *some* players, not a lot but enough to where I was happy. F_x actually did host my server for a year until someone else came into the picture and hosted it and currently still does, except now it's a private SMP. KoolFreedom was originally a side-project that turned into something that TF people would sometimes join until TF:R started back up, and then (thanks to shdwo), KF was eventually flooded with TotalFreedom people which resulted in my Co-Owner at the time and the Staff Manager at the time to leave because of that. Eventually, the server just became TotalFreedom pt. 25 with all of the drama and bitching and all that other shit, so I had no choice but in 2024, to shut it down.
But, before that all happened, we actually branched out into doing multiple servers at one time, we had a FreeOP server, Survival server and an AnarchyOP server. The AnarchyOP server only shut down because I stopped maintaining it, the public survival server shut down because I stopped maintaining it (and so did the host), and we were just left with the FreeOP server until that was also shut down.
Around 2022-2023, I applied for Admin on TotalFreedom underneath Ryan, got accepted, got removed for inactivity because of school shit (I was a senior in high school and I needed to focus on graduating), re-applied after a while and now we're here.
After KoolFreedom shut down, I kind of realized that I planned to shut down like 2 weeks after TF:R did, which to those that wanted to stay there for longer, I'm sorry. I had started to completely lose my motivation to manage the server, and just manage servers in general, and I had just gotten sick of the community. A few of you I can tolerate, but there were just those people that ruined it for me. When the time is right, maybe I will start things back up, but I cannot promise anything.
Thank you guys for giving me a second chance, even after knowing that I was affiliated with F_x for a while and that my past was not as clean as some people would've liked it to be. I realized that me being a Hub Mod on TF under Ryan also caused some problems because F_x was attacking the server, even continued after I was admin for a little bit, for that I am sorry.
I was thinking of including screenshots, but they have too many slurs for my liking and I'd rather not post that on the TotalFreedom: Rebooted chatroom. I'll stay away from being a suspicious user.
Thank you guys again, it was fun while it lasted.
