Hi, many of the older community members know me, but as for the newer ones, you are most likely to be oblivious as to who I am. I used to be a hard-working Moderator, followed by a less hard-working Senior Moderator for the 'Network' and was loved by the majority of the community for work I put in. Yes, this work was way more than the average, just picture the forum-whore @BurntCactus , except, I was the original. It all started a couple of years ago when the server was shown to me by a close friend, Winters_Chill/Ragyo/The__Elucidator/EZv_XxBassxX/Ect. (He had so many damn names). We were both from a small faction server than that of the ones that Badlion's original players were from, and happened to be YouTubers in those communities. It was a prime time in my "minecraft" career as per getting known by a large portion of the PvP community. At first, I was some random who was hackusated to no end for beating all of the top players who played on Badlion, and had actually been banned for it twice, but eventually, I became known to all of these guys who I ended up calling friends. (Were they my friends? I don't know, but I'd like to think so). Eventually, I met Top Dog MrArchy, or as he likes to go by, Archybot whom I had challenged to a 1v1, and as his name inferred, he was extremely good with a bow. None the less, I still won. As the times continued, I began talking to the original Badlion players and faction members, and ended up becoming a more trusted player, which I then recieved mod. This was after I bitched at Archy about how he had given other players moderator before me. Yes, I was a very bitchy person, and for those of you who know me, you know I still am (for the most part). One day, I suggested to Archy and MasterGberry the Idea of a Garry's Mod server, which I was then put in power and position of. For all of you questioning the whereabouts of that, its clearly gone because it didnt work out. After the loss of the Garry's Mod server and staff team who were comprised of people I befriended in the making of the server and community, I began putting more work towards the Potion PvP server. This is when the server population became aware of my "authority" and began to respect my position and myself as a player. I was still very good at PvP at that point, but not as good as I was when I originally joined Badlion. I remember the "#Viprite4Admin!" chants, as well as the "Viprite4Demotion!" chants. Fast forward to early June of 2014, where myself, iFalcon, and Niquex were promoted to Senior moderator, which Archy originally stated were "Admins without a specific Job". This statement later changed because he and Gberry worried too much about how we took the idea the wrong way. To be honest, it was a new position, and we were still trying to figure out our stand-point in authority, so many mistakes were made along the way. Come beginning of August, ComboDombo, (a huge member of the community, and a friend of mine), had brought me into Counter-Strike: Global offensive. It is up until this point, and continuing forward from this point that my time has been consumed by the mentioned game. I began slacking in my role as a senior moderator, just as Falcon and Niquex were. This wasnt the only reason why, of course, just the main reason. You see, I am a 12th Grader (Senior) in High School, and have been playing this game ever since I was an 8th Grader. You figure after so much time spent into one game, one eventually gets bored. Fast forwarding to today, I have recently been demoted for my inactivity, which I accept. I am sorry to the portion of the community that went unassisted when I was clearly available.With all said and done, Its not as if I do not care for or love Badlion / its community. Its more so the fact that I no longer have interest in the game, and am growing apart from the community that has changed from what it once was.
Anyways, sorry about the long rant. I hope everyone continues to enjoy and support the server. As for Archy and Gberry, thanks for all of the hard work you continued to put in while consuming your own time with the needs of a game!

You have done a lot here :) I Hope that you continue to help new communities out and wish you nothing but fun for when you reach college next year. Definitely best 4 years of my life. Take care and let Archy and I know how you are doing every so often on Skype/TS.

This is going to be one long ass rant.Viprite, I remember back then. Oh, when I was that little toxic shit named FineingMineing. I remember when I used to call you a "cunt, whore, mod abuser, faggot, mangina, and to this day a cow". Whoever thought that someone who banned me 5 times for hacks would become on of my closest bros. You're the reason I am still here. Let's take this rant back, back to the days to were I was evading. The first time I got banned, was for better sprint mod (Back in 1.4). I remember shortbus saying FineingMineing ss your controls. (At the time im like o fuck man i got bsm on). so i refused, and then got banned. I ranted on the forums THIS: https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/67 (The very fifth ban appeal on the badlion forums). Then, I got unbanned by some miracle. However, being the toxic dip shit that I was I continued to trash talk everyone and spam EZ. Then one day I beat Billah in a lms. Afterwards I got banned for {ff}. I was in so much rage that I called everyone a whorebag. However, I was such a badlion sweaty nerd (Still am) that I alted 6 more times, until Finally! FINALLY after 5 months, I got unbanned by a true friend. That true friend was Viprite: https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/33
In quoting viprite "I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but If I ever catch you cheating again you can bet your ass you will be banished from this network". So there it was folks, I got unbanned. Viprite is the reason why my YouTube is what it is today and why so many people like me. Viprite has allowed me to do something I would have never thought I could achieve. He let me be happy. I went from being sad with irl problems to something I could come home from school and have fun with. He let me get known, and meet new people who I still talk to today. Viprite folks, is the reason why the ComboDombo account surfaced today. I could never repay my good buddy viprite. All I can say is that I wish for the best for him and I am always here for the kid.
Now for this:
I got Nick into cs:go after Skizyx got me into it. I remember when we were playing against super OP players by the UBG community. I WAS IN THAT VERY GAME, that would lead viprite to loose interest in minecraft. I, on the other hand continued to play minecraft and wondered why Nick wouldn't get on. The truth is, he was having fun. Something that He let me have which I repayed him in. We are both friends, and nick will always be my bro. Nick if you're reading this, I wish you the best of luck with highschool.
Ik im a pussy but i mightof shed a tear or to.

It really sucks to see one of the best mods leave, as much as I play and love this server I've never felt such sadness from someone leaving. I never knew viprite but could tell he was a good guy.have fun viprite with whatever you plan to do from here on out, and hope to see you online once in a while, if not enjoy your life.

I know that you probably don't like me but when I see a senior staff member of any website/network resign, It makes me sad. But like the saying goes: all good things come to and end and the end came for you today. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose to do with your life and hope that you do great things!Posted on 03 November 2014 - 03:13 AM
This honestly hits home. If this means anything, when I killed you in July 2013, on my bad pc, I felt so proud because you were so good. It encouraged me to keep playing pot pvp. Then later, we found out we both played AG. Then we played a couple games together, with Sam (Panda) and became friends.Then you and Archy convinced Adam to let me become mod.
I still thank you for that to this day.
As time went on, we didn't talk as much, but if we DID see each other, it was always friendly. I even remember inviting you to come grief the AG lobby with me. What a blast!
Goodbye, friend. I don't like, nor will I ever like, CS:NO, but I'll remember you.

Thank you Viprite for changing badlion for the better! Your positive attitude and cheerful demeanor always made me want to be like you! You inspired me to dedictate my life to minecraft pvp and quit school in order to become a good pvper! I will never forget you and I hope you continue to inspire people wherever you decide to go in life. I remember on badlion potion pvp when I asked you to start a uhc lms and you did. I will always keep that moment dear to my heart and think about that moment every night before I go to bed. I hope you will always remember me to the end of time and that we can sometime be together again in life. I am crying with tears of joy for everything you have done for meYour dearest friend,
