Congratulations Windows for becoming the new owner! I'm sure youll do an awesome job as being one of the most capable senior admins. And to you Mark, being here for an extremely long time on the server, I've had some of my best experiences ever here. Thanks for creating one of the best parts of my childhood that goes way back to 5th grade. As sad as it is to see you go, this server will always be in my heart and this is the start of a new era. You've put so much time and dedication to the server it's not even funny. Good luck with all your future endovers and I hope to still see you around sometimes. Let's all give cheers to mark for being the best founder and handing the owner banner and the future of Total Freedom to Windows!!!

Wow I actually never knew TF would come to this point. Thanks for an amazing job mark for the past 7 years. Mark you have given me the chance to make amazing friends from TF and meet other people like me. Without you, this server, I would literally know nobody. TF inspired me and changed me. From late 2013, I was a griefer/troll. Ever since 2015, you guys gave me a chance for me to start over. I had fun with yoy being an owner and being apart of TF in general. Thank you mark, for all of this. I would literally know nobody on this server without it existing. Good job making it stay alive mark, and congratulations Windows.

Well markbyron, you've served a wonderful 7 years. I have not been their for all those 7, but I enjoyed your presence while I was. You have left a mark on minecraft. With this creative and never ending server. We say farewell to you as a owner, and hello to Windows. I know that you made the right choice, and TF will always be the same old, fun minecraft server.

Kash, thanks for the kind words and I'd like to remind everybody that you're the longest running active admin on TF - you started as Matty925 and this server info sheet with the list of admins from 2011 proves it; a true charter admin. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21145471/Home.htmlYou didn't so good during that early admin run but after you came from a nearly 3 year break in 2014, I approved your reinstatement with, "I'm expecting you'll be improved this time around." You definitely exceeded my expectations and became a reliable and loyal senior admin. Thanks again.

Congrats, Windows! P.S. I still remember when you were an OP I remember recommending him for admin

It's a shame to see you stepping down, Mark. I've always looked up to you and always will. You're a great man and a mighty owner, you have great judgement. I'm surprised you're not running a company like Microsoft (the Bill Gates references aren't for nothin'). I've never seen anyone run anything as fairly and amazingly as you have, even if it is just a Minecraft server.
You managed to create a community, one of the only 2 I spend my time in, which I spent the last 5 or 6 years growing on and probably will continue to. I don't really spend time on the server anymore but something in my heart obliges me to keep moderating the forums. I also think you have been one of the greatest contributors to the Minecraft community as a whole by creating this server.
This feels like a permanent farewell, even though I think I'll be seeing you on the forums a lot.
Congratulations, Windows.
And godspeed, Mark, you beautiful man.

Throughout the year I have become admin, it is sad to see an end here. After all those times you made of countless posts, and true dedicated to your server, it would feel almost "unfair" to accept the fact you are leaving. You- my friend have showed me remarkable ways to care, and be responsible. Not only were your policies just, you taught me more than just administrating- it taught me professionalism, and responsibility. You made amazing decisions throughout those seven years. Choosing the wisest Senior Admins- to training the admins on how to do their job. What I find more amazing is that you ran this server for 7 years, and no one ever stopped you from being a remarkable, creative, and responsible owner. I really will miss you, as you really made the TotalFreedom community what it is today.

I want to post again Thank you Mark, for 7 great years. You are a really good man, you've had an idea that no one else had wanted to implement in that past. Now let's say, with your help TotalFreedom has become a fun place, good race. You've started the TotalFreedom and Windows will continue everything. Thank you for being in TF for 7 long, good years. I know you got tired, but please never leave our hearts. You were good son, real good, maybe even the best But i'm still not ready to say goodbye. Well in future, wherever you will be, with who you will be, and when you will be. I wish you all kind of luck!

I want to thank you for everything, it has indeed been a great 7 years. I admire both your persistence and your consistency, both vital traits of a good leader. I fully support your decision to step down as do I support windows as owner, I'm certain TF will have a bright future under him. You've always been a role model, not to just me, but to everyone. You are a wise man and your judgment has always been great. Thank you for all you've done.

Four years ago, I started my journey here as a rule breaker, but eventually, all of those years has gone past, and I became a better person. I may not start as a good admin, but no-one does. We may have our ups and downs, but I am here because of the server you had created. You made sure the community is fair and equal, and kill all of those people who caused nothing but trouble. I cannot thank you enough. You had selected a right man ( _Windows) to do your job. Congrats Windows. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Something else to say; didn't really say much: Mark, helped me iron out my rough edges and you gave me chances when I shouldn't have had any. You're patient, persistent, and intelligent. You're patient when admins come aboard and when they get suspended - you give them multiple chances. You're persistent with them; you believe with time the admins will be great admins. You're smart with your picks - look at xfilez and StevenNL2000: they're both brilliant senior admims and damn smart, just like you. you're smart with how to run a server. you've made TF great, the best server in Minecraft. With Windows now taking the reins, I think it can be safe to say that TF is in good hands. He's a great admin and I've known him since CJFreedom. He was one of the first people I recommended for admin, too (a little history there ). He was a great candidate for admin, even then. Now look where he's at - Global Mod and now Owner. I'm glad you chose him out of everyone. This may actually further aid in his abilities as a Security Officer. With that, I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. It'll take time to get used to not handling executive matters, but you'll still be the old man figurehead of TF: Wise, fatherly, and patient. These qualities make you better than anyone I've seen on TF. Keep doing what you do - you're great at it. To the two senior admins I tagged, keep making mark proud. He's a proud father of you two - just by making Senior you've made him happy. Good luck with you two as well and keep making everyone smile

I never knew that all of the drama from admins (as ive been told...) would make this happen-- at least I have some things to say. (even though my post may get deleted for reasons)
Mark, and everyone on tf, (even if you dislike/hate me) you've changed my life quite a lot since I joined in err 2015? or 2016 idk... I started off as a troll and kasdomnds like a lot of admins here did (no offense, just throwing it out there.) but "improved" by changing up my attitude a bit more and "maturing" a little bit. (THE TINIEST BIT oKS) and eventually got admin (even though it was never really my intention, I couldn't resist.) Now I've resigned (still regretting that ffs) and "left" (even though that was half joke/half truth since I may consider coming back if the drama cools down a bit.), although I still think about this place once in a while-- I've made most (if not all) of my friends here, (which may be sad but im sad) all of the great memories here will never die - and I thank everyone for being here, even if I don't play the "owner" role here.
And also, congratulations on getting the owner role, windows. I'm sure you'll improve the server. and yes, it will take some time as you have said.

markbyron: To me, you aren't the former owner of a silly block game, you are a man with a legacy that will not be forgotten for years. Thank you for bringing 7 years of non-stop greatness, and for the 4 years (to me) of pure enjoyment as both an op and an admin. Congratulations, Windows.
