I was never "active" on ragezone. I first came here at 13-14 looking to create my own MS server. I made numerous trips back over the years. I would quit the server, only to restart again months/years later over nostalgia. While I was never in the community, this forum and maplestory/Maple private servers have and always will hold a special place in my heart.
Now, at 21, I'm going towards a degree in Nursing. Computer science, for me, would be a waste. Unlike some of the amazing developers here, I am not skilled enough to enter the field. While I am by no means computer illiterate (and I learned much during the years I spent with private servers), spending my current free time working on setting up a home Elastix server to make free calls and hopefully spoof caller ID all so I may ruin the days of a bunch of tech support/IRS/419 Scammers, I really am nothing special in terms of computer science. Sure I would be good at it, but I wouldn't be anything that stands out. Plus, in 30 years, I will be unable to keep up and, as such, out of a job.
Still, I thank everyone here for the foundational knowledge you have all provided. I am sorry I didn't speak up then, but I wish you all the best on your endeavors.
