So lately I've been losing my interest in TF2, especially since I don't have a team anymore. However, I've engrained myself as a big part of the community with the DM servers as well as being admin for tf2.pug.na, among other things.
I guess I'm in a bit of a bind because I don't really enjoy playing TF2, but at the same time can't really stop supporting TF2 with my various activities. If I were to do what I wanted to do, I would be shutting down my DM servers as well as stepping down as admin on all the stuff I currently do administrate.
Help?

Do what you love to do, not because you have to.

if you don't enjoy what you're doing and it's not worth your time/money (in your opinion) then don't do it. don't take offense to this, but someone else will step up and replace most/all of what you have goin on now, so don't sweat it if you're ready to dip

The problem becomes who would take my place for all the stuff I do?

I guess this would answer my question.
Perhaps I simply need to take a break and think it out more before making any final decisions.

Take a month long break and uninstall tf2. During that month find someone who will run your stuff. After a month come back if you want or just step away. Pls don't be like depressed djc though.

Fog if you ever need help or assistance in running servers/coding/etc. I'm totally up for it. As for your decision on quitting, I support whatever makes you happy. Its what I would do for all my friends. Just throwing my name in the hat or at least for assistance later on down the road.
Best of luck (do what makes you happy). You're always a part of my team, even if we're on different teams. :)

6pac dm servers with lograv, dh, sniper, demo shields, lochnload, !drugs/!slay on everyone, and the general trolling of Sean and his viewers will fill the void, do not fear. Follow your dreams:

Honestly I would start some more legit dm servers (with dh) if you left but I just moved and I am very broke. In a month or two I could fill that void.

MR_SLINnobody ever quits tf2
Not quite true, but my advice to fog is to take a break. Say you might come back some day, but take a break. If you get the itch, baby get back in here and shake your booty.

tf2 isnt worth it
EDIT: ok i came off wrong. what i meant was that if you really want to do something that would require you to close your servers, step down from admin positions, do it. after all the things youve done for this community, i think you should do what you want. basically what #3 said.

There's definitely something to be said about having a real life and not coming home from work or school everyday only to play several hours of TF2. We appreciate all you do, but at some point it must be enough.

I hear ya fog... hell I don't even get on my computer when I get home from work anymore. Can't remember the last time I played tf2... it's a tricky bind when you have no desire to play but still have obligations (maybe not the best word) due to servers.
Maybe we should get together and pump each other up or something. Spark the flame. Maybe.
edit - in all honesty though... i think running servers n shit burns you out on this game about 100x faster than actually playing. It's sad but true.

Coming back to this after a nights rest, I should probably explain myself a bit better.
The original thought of me shutting down my DM servers and such was not something about me wanting to do other things life and the DM servers are stopping me from doing that (I don't really do anything else that would require me to stop running them), it was just a way to probably disconnect myself from the community.
I guess I was simply having a pretty bad night and decided to air out my feelings in the mood I was in at the time. It brought on some good discussions for me to talk it out with myself and other people.
We'll still have to see what comes from this, but for the time being I'm still going to continue with the community stuff I'm doing and see if anything comes up with S15 if I'll continue with my playing days.
