5 years… it has been 5 years!

5, time sure flies

I know I haven’t really made a forum topic about my 1 and 2nd year anniversaries, I was going through a lot, so I’ve searched for topics I’ve made the exact month (Just realised I made ones but for my forum anniversary, I’m that confusing).

I’ve unlisted them by the time I was a forum moderator. Feel free to check them out.


Hey hey hey, Candle here!

It’s been 5 years since I joined this place!

If someone actually told me I’d stick to a Minecraft server for 5 years, I would think that person is drunk but oh well…

I’m glad to be here, there’s been a lot of ups and downs obviously, I was also quite young when I joined, I am still stupid but here I am.

Wasn’t I 15 or 16? :smiling_face_with_tear:


Life update?

Stella got a bachelor as of recently and is in an internship. I’m basically overwhelmed and can’t sleep no more due to stupid working hours but oh well. I’m aiming for a master and probably will be moving out whenever I’ll figure out what I truly wish to do besides coding and informatics although my master degree is probably gonna be about AI stuff.

I’ve also lost my voice a couple weeks ago. How? Well, that’s some other long story.

No need to ask, it’s not coming back.

It’s been heck of a pain to learn sign language, so I just gave up on that and use my phone whenever I wish to express something.

Things IRL has been pretty heated but I’m still doing my best.

Overall I’m sick of life right now but as long as I keep on going, I know that things will get better in the long run.


Back to munchy,

I still deeply enjoy playing on this server despite its flaws.

Survival has been my home for the past few years and still will be, even if I end up leaving. I have met some lovely people that really got my back when I was on my lowest.

There’s so many times I wanted to just… well, I’m happy to have you all, at least most of you. :joy:

Even though I have been pretty inactive in game, AFK, I’m still here. I’ve slowly lost interest grinding since it’s a huge pain, I have duties IRL and I don’t feel like this is healthy for me.

Heck, it’s not healthy for me at all.

I will probably be way less active after reaching level 165 which unlocks all classes. Pretty sad to tell myself that I won’t be Skill Top anymore but that’s for the better!


So yeah!

Thanks for having me around, I know I’m not the typical normal human being, always weird, crazy and clumsy but I feel at least a little appreciated here!

No clue if we’ll meet again on 2026 but enjoy never-ending polls while I’m still here! :blush:


Much :heart: Stella

Hello candle! Thank you for brightening the forums for so long! I hope your voice loss seriously isn’t permanent but if it is I’m so so sorry friend ;( that’s terrible to hear if it’s permanent or even temporary wow.

Please I say this for your own sanity take a break from the server :( between your internship, lack of sleep, and just life it sounds like you really need more time to yourself and definitely more rest so please get some more alright? Also check our DMs please!

Happy fifth anniversary candle! :tada:
Congratulations on earning your degree - uni is difficult!, and you should be proud of the hard work you’ve put in. I hope your internship teaches you plenty and becomes a stepping stone toward that master’s degree you’re aiming for. I know things might be challenging for you right now, but I’m proud of you for pushing through. I hope that the IRL situation will improve as soon as possible!

I also wanted to acknowledge the work that you put in to make the forums just that bit more active with your (very entertaining!) polls - yes, I’ve been quietly stalking them from the sidelines. :wink: It really shows how much you appreciate the Munchy community and it’s such a great way to give back.

It’s been a long time since we last interacted ingame but I sincerly hope all goes well for you candle :) Please take care of yourself.

It’s been a pleasure meeting you when I first joined. It really was the reason I stuck to the server until last month.
I hope you get that masters you’re aiming for! You’re amazing and deserve the best in life, so hopefully things get better with time! Make sure to rest lots lysa and take care best you can

From experience, I can tell you that the next 5 years will go by even quicker :winkcheetos:

Congrats on getting your Bachelor’s! Time to put some of those coding skills to use and help Ross with survival development?!

As for everything else, I wish you all the best and good health (both physical and mental). Take plenty of breaks and take it a bit slower next season. It can still be fun to occasionally hang out without constantly grinding for the number 1 spot.

It’s amazing how time flies and it’s always a pleasure to see you on server! Congrats on the Bachelor’s degree and I wish you a successful journey on getting your Master’s (AI would be an awesome thing to study). I hope you can take some time to focus on yourself and I wish you the best with your health and future! Congrats on 5 years ^^
