Hey everyone,

I hope you are all well. It has come to my attention of very sorrowing news.

HalfOfAKebab, many of you who also knew him by his real name Lewis, has unfortunately passed away last week in the early hours of November 12.

I share this news with you as many of you have interacted with Lewis. Lewis was ultimately the core reason how this community thrived the way it turned out. r/TeenGamingNights and its history goes long ways back, but it wasn't until more (relatively) recently in 2016 where Lewis took helm of the community and kept the community attended to without being dismantled altogether for good. Without Lewis, we would not be here today.

Lewis and I were part of the same moderator application period six years ago for the community that we derived from and both were part of, the r/teenagers community. Ultimately the r/teenagers Discord server would not have been made without his help in persuading the creation of the community when the subject was brought up years ago. For that alone, I could not be more thankful as we know how much these communities have shaped our time and the friendships that it has fostered. Lewis put a substantial amount of time into the community, let alone handling the atrocity that is regular expressions for the AutoModerator configuration and all spam filters. I still have no idea how regex works and whenever I think of it, I genuinely do think and thank of Lewis and his accuracy with it. He had tremendous involvement in where we grew today.

As we continue on and from time-to-time rejoice at the memories that encompasses from these communities we were part of, please remember to remember the human behind those display names you have interacted with and the experiences that came with it.

If you would like to participate in Lewis' Minecraft game archive Discord community and join the grieving and celebration of life, please follow through to Omniarchive.

Unfortunately, TeenGamingNights.net is ceasing operations, and that includes our Minecraft survival server shutting down, effective immediately. I would like to personally apologize to the community, it was planned for an announcement to be made earlier this week for it not to appear abruptly sudden. I'm sure you've heard those rumours for June 10th, they were infact true!

Founded in 2013, initially as TeenGamingNights (TGN), a gaming splinter of r /teenagers by an earlier head moderator - by 2014 grew into its own subreddit, r/teengamingnights. During 2016, TGN was revived and had a Minecraft server through 1.8.8-1.11.2 before closing January 2017.

After a period of downtime, a reworked 1.12.2 server was released December 2017 with a map reset February 2018 that lasted until December 2018. During this time, TGN expanded into it's own Discord and several other games were supported including: CSGO, Destiny, Fortnite, OSU, and Overwatch.

What was supposed to be an interim position until I found the proper replacement, I took over control of TeenGamingNights just before January 2019. Where we introduced our Old School Minecraft 1.13.2 server and 10 supported games with their own categories on the Discord! The 1.13.2 server boasted just over 14,000 unique logins, the subreddit appealed to 21,000 subscribers, and the Discord chattered with 5,200 gaming enthusiasts.
In August 2019, the TeenGamingNights community separated from r/teenagers. The former discord and subreddit were irrevocably locked, as we made our new home here.

September 2019 and onwards, our 1.14.4 - 1.15.2 server prospered until today in June 2020! Just shy of 4500 players in this iteration, many changes were made and a lot more community involvement was had!

We hope that the community continues to grow despite this sudden change, and that we can eventually return to our lovely support for the Minecraft franchise. I'm sure many may be confused at what the future holds for TeenGamingNights.net, and frankly we're not too sure either. I believe that there is a really close tight-knit community here and that alone should not be thrown away and archived for good. As we transition away from a business with revenue and expenses back to a community with no strings attached, I hope it follows with more traditional game events and involvement.

Thank you for playing, I hope you stick around.
