First of all, I am almost certain that not one of the current admin/mod team has said the below. You are once again twisting words and making up bullshit to try and make your points more valid. 
The community is not only failing due to just the lack of work being done, the community is failing due to the fact that everyone is not attempting to bring new people into the community also. We have launched Jailbreak, Minigames, Retake and Minecraft servers all over the space of the last year and each and every time the servers have been played for a few weeks then dropped as people did not carry on playing them. 
We try and find new server that can be used to bring people into the community but time and time again, even after forum votes, these servers are not what people are interested in. This then caused the servers to be left empty and therefore rendered useless. 
Mintlou, You stepped down because you wanted to immediately gain access to all the powers you possibly could. You wanted to be able to Hide, delete and edit peoples posts on the forums as soon as you were incorporated into the admin team. You also wanted top level Teamspeak rights for every moderator which is simply not needed. 
You are a stroppy child who cant handle being restricted or ignored and will throw all of his toys out of the pram to get what he wants. You'd make a real good leader.
(Multiple responses were sent to the below post, before you say you were ignored on it) 
"My 9-5 job is server administration/creation and maintenance so I'm used to having all access to everything without restriction, coming home to this every night just isn't worth my time now with the current setup." - My favorite line because its almost as if I'm not in the same job role as you...

You are correct. We should have updated the community more often with our intentions as currently any updates that have been given have been given in dribs and drabs. These should have been collated into monthly updates. 
Times change Mintlou. Powers have been modified in retrospect to the communities needs and due to past issues. The community didn't and still doesn't need to be heavily modded as we have regulars who quite frankly can be trusted to moderate themselves. The approval, deletion and moving of peoples posts has always remained Admin+ as far as I'm aware. 
Kai (Admin) was the first person to respond within a few hours with me following a few days later. There was a single moderator who agreed with you at the time and didn't give any further reasons as so why they agreed. 
This is not my opinion or comment from just this thread. That is the whole demeanor i have seen from you for the years that i have known you. You do not like to follow rules. you do not like when you are told no. 
Just because you or I have the ability to control most of what happens in our jobs and are mostly unrestricted doesn't mean that should flow over to every aspect of your life. Your job will still have major boundaries on what you can do or what you can implement. This is the same as Outbreak, Everything comes in steps. 
I hope you are still around and I hope to see you then. 

Busy few weeks at work so progress slow to non-existent i'm afraid. Ill be working on it before this weekend though. Hopefully a functional server with mods by this weekend (Vanilla server already made and tested).

Etherium is on the rise and is expected to continue rising but I personally wouldn't invest in it at the moment as it may follow the current drop along with bitcoin. If you are looking to invest in any crypto currency then watch the prices every day for a week or so and then try and grab some when they are on a low so long as the general trend is still on the rise.
Once again, You have a very high risk of losing your investment with crypto currencies as they have no physical worth and are therefore reliant on there take-up and "community". Only invest with money that you are willing to lose.
 

You exactly right about the mining. Your very unlikely to make any sort of reasonable profit without investing large amounts of money into something called an asics miner which is a machine dedicated to mining crypto currencies. The difficulty of bitcoin is also far too high currently to make any sort of GPU mining worth it without having 15-20+ GPU's running constantly.
If you really want to mine then you will be better mining a smaller currency like Etherium, Lite coin or doge coin as you will be able to mine more coins with a lower initial investment. You will get more money in the long run which you can then invest in bitcoin if you are looking at getting into the current hype as they are currently at a low point in an expected rise.
There is a very high risk with investing in any crypto currency however as the price solely rests on demand for the currency. Hence the roughly 1500$ drop in bitcoins over the last month. Invest at your own risk.

Hey Everyone!
I've wanted to make this post at the start of the month but I've recently been busy with work, my apprenticeship and learning to drive that I haven't had much time to do anything but enough about me. Outbreak's current future has been quite a hot topic and I wanted to give my thoughts on some of the subjects and hopefully get yours. 
New Servers
Every time a new game comes out or something in OB gets plenty of players are interested in. Technically the first thing I'll check is can I actually create a community server after that some of the biggest things I look for are:
What will make it an OB server? When thinking about creating a new server I want it to be an OB server something special, to give it OB personality. How can OB make it fun and special to new and old players alike. 
Players Does the server have a possibility of actually getting players? Is it popular in the community currently or is something we can get players over time.
Members Can the players be turned into members. Is there a reason for new players to return to our server? Is there any benefits we can get Members without ruining anything for new players.
Monetization Usually, this is just thinking about can the server be monetized to support OB. The OB coffers always need help and I want to be able to do special things for the community like tournaments that can back to people that may not play the main OB servers.
 
There are many more reasons that I look at or for but these are some of the main ones. At least for CS Outbreak has never really had too many people that can either create plugins or want to put the effort into creating them so we've always relied upon our Outbreaks personality rather than being a server that has a lot of technical magic.
Outbreak has only every been able to be the best with Jailbreak, added our own personality making it entertaining for players, giving them reasons to stay. Being able to get a player and convert players into members all while being able to fill the OB coffers. Minigames has always been number two to Jailbreak being super fun but never as successfully as Jailbreak but still being fun for a wider amount of OB members.
We could create a few extra servers like a retake or KZ but I personally don't think that outbreaks personality can help these type of servers. I feel we'd be opening a server that so a few people can play for a really small amount of time before moving on to a well-established server that has been doing that type of server for a while. Do people go to these servers to have a conversation with people?
 
Jailbreak Sendoff?
I've been reading both sides of should we or should we not just get rid of Jailbreak. It's definitely in a bad place currently and has various problems that need to be addressed if we'd want to make a comeback of it, something I do 100% believe we can do it would just take time and effort from both our Administration team and our members to give to the OB personality. Outbreak Jailbreaks always seems to be in trends being one of the top CS JB servers to dying and then making a great comeback. Jailbreak is Outbreaks biggest money maker and I don't want to kill it off without some sort of plan to do something else where we can still be self-sufficient.
 
Outbreak but no game servers?
This is something that has been suggested to kill off our game server and just have a TS and website. Personality I don't want to go this route because I like having a direction, a server to put effort into. Even though its always a challenge with aids trolls, hackers, ddosing little nerds I still love meeting new players, new people, new personality's whether it's only one great person out of a 100 It's still worth it for me.
With this in mind some of you have suggested downsizing getting rid of the dedi and just have individual servers for each server OB server we have (Website/TS/Gameserver) and we would cut our costs by around 50% while would be amazing BUT the fact I still get emails with "Detection of an attack on IP address" makes me really hesitant to doing this. One of the biggest killers to Outbreak has been DDossing as not only does it stop people from player our server but it seems to destroys the morale of the whole community (Definitely mine at least)
 
The OB Summer Games
This summer I'm hoping to get a few tournaments as they are always fun for everyone, I personally don't play or are even into rocket league or hearthstone but I'd still enjoy watching OB in a competitive scene. Currently, I want to do a Hearthstone, Rocket League, League of Legends and CSGO tournaments. If there is any more you'd like to see msg me.
 
A Thank you
Thanks for those who've spent time reading through this thread and I know a lot of people actually care about Outbreak in their own way. That love being here with their friends and although it corny as fuck... a our dysfunction family. I overall think we've improved so much from what we started as and I goal is to with your help to keep being better. I do believe that we all need to take a bit of time thinking about the way we do things and how they might come across, I know I'm guilty of making mistakes but let us try and be better in the way we do things.
I do want to give a massive thank you to everyone that every given time to improve outbreak. Whether its just from being a great member representing Outbreak. Putting efforts into an event or getting new and old players alike playing new things. Or being part of the administration team trying to the Outbreak welcoming and friendly for everyone no matter what. 
 
Okay that enough fucking writing for me all the best from me nerds
