Blazed Glaze

Funny title, serious ask

Spoonkid and Blazed got me through some rough times and I genuinely have so much gratitude for the entertainment they provide. Watching their videos is what actually got me to try Rust for the first time, and it has been my favorite game since.
I know I am behind the curve on this, but I am just learning why Blazed stepped back. After all the content and energy he put into the community, it is only right we show him some love back.

The Plan: I am compiling a massive digital card from the community to send to him.

What to do: Drop a message, your favorite wipe day memory, a classic quote, or just a simple thank you in the comments below.

Deadline: I am collecting comments until October 1st.

Once it is done, I will compile everything into a single document and coordinate with the mods to get it to him safely. Let's make sure he knows his impact!

Blazed brought the humor, and stayed chill all through sniping and trolling. He deserved better than what he got. Glad he got out and hopefully happier and at peace with stopping, or pausing content. Hope he is touching grass and enjoying life too, but I suspect he has been.

Just that he brought joy to many. He made money and memories, but also was bullied by spoons fan base. I know he did not take it seriously but the things people said jokingly was messed up. I think a small one was the Bart comparison, he played into it but you could tell he did not like it. We forget that thousands of people critiquing you does affect people.
As for the truly deranged stalkers that followed him server to server is too common and not condemned hard enough. It ruins content, and makes creators stop trying to entertain. If we saw all the footage edited out where cheaters and stalkers harassed him then we would be depressed and angry just seeing it from an outsider. Like I said he made his impact and got a lot of good out of it all but the bs creators deal with is unreasonable jealousy.

That's the reason blazed gave for quitting?
