For nearly 4 years now, Classic Lava has stood up, being the most popular Blocktopia server for nearly 4 years. It is outstanding, and it has lasted so much longer then it was suspected to, and even when it got injured many times it always rebuilt.

Until now.

With the loss of popularity, and the popularity slowly coming to a halt, Lava become one of the least-popular blocktopia servers, until it eventually had basically 5 players on each day. But, all the old and current memories stayed, and it was obvious the end was nigh. I wish I could've tried more to make lava last longer, but that would be like clinging to a dying person with a terminal disease.

This is a thank you thread to every single on of the last lava players and staff, as well as everyone who ever played/joined it. You all kept it alive. You all were the reason it was running for these 4 years. You all changed it ever so slightly.

oliver56bird - Man, we had some pretty fun and nostalgic times. You're a wonderful person, and from what I know of you, you aren't one to just leave when something good goes. You're sticking around, and I hope to see you around because of the wonderful person you are!

Tails506 - You never really got too social on lava, which we expect most ops to be, but you were a pretty nice op, and I loved talking to you. It has been fun to watch you grow, and I just find you fun to be around. Thank you for what you did for lava and see you around the servers!

iHeartBoomer - Oh MAN you were one of the weirdest lava staff and a hilarious person to play with. We've had so many fun times, even with the server almost-deserted, and I hope I'll get to see you around, because you are amazing.

Suikae - Bahaha, you're almost as weird as iHeartBoomer, but I part hate you and part hate Boomer because you made me constantly obsess over gouging people's eyeballs out and partly burning my brain due to grossness in opchat. You are so hilarious, and I'll be pretty happy to see you stick around. :D

DSiGameMaster - You're hilarious too. I hope you get over your fear of opchat some day. In all seriousness, you are an awesome person who is very good at playing on the DSi. It was fun watching you grow, like Tails, and you did a very nice job enforcing the rules. I hope to see you around!

Kkid123 - I never really got to see you much, but thank you! You still needed to learn a couple of things, but you had a LOT of potential, and I hope I'll still be able to see you around and learn more about you! Thank you for sticking around and enforcing the rules on lava.

IamGreg07 - There are very few good points about you. You are unreliable, I hate you, you are terrible, and you need to get out. But thank you for spending your time enforcing the rules on lava, and you were a ton of fun to derp and be around, and taught me how to make everything pink in my vetop months. It has been a lot of fun, and hopefully I see you around more then the rather rare times I did!

copycat16 - meow. That's copycat's explanation. He understands it. :D

rawrmynameisrex - It's been a ton of fun watching you grow and staffing with you, and though I rarely got to see you later, you did a good job enforcing the rules. We disagreed at points and didn't have that good of a time some very rare times, but you are fabulous, and hopefully I'll be able to watch you grow and be fabulous again.

WinX64 - fabulous. That is all that can be used to describe you. Just fabulous.

Sploorky - Oh, how many times have I thanked you, maybe about 5 times? I'm gonna thank you again! :D. You are fabulous, and really have no idea how much you have done for much in such a short period of time. You taught me how to controller, how to burn-- I mean fix maps, and you generally eased some stress of mine and was generally there for me when I needed it. I could tell you if I was stressed out. I could tell you if I was sad. And really, I was so happy when I found out I'd still get to see you often on RoF, because I just wouldn't be here without you. Thank you for my month of controllerness, and it's been amazing getting to know you more.

BrickWolf - Nearly 4 years of being a Director. You have truly done so much for the server---and that I deeply appreciate. You are hilarious, and due to timezones, I rarely EVER got to know you as a Controller or any rank for that matter, and I truly wish I had gotten to know you better. You are amazing, you have done so much in keeping this server up and contributed so much. You are a great rolemodel, and there is no doubt your fabulousness will continue being a rolemodel.

Kylieanna - AND NOW FOR THE MOST FABULOUS OF EVERYONE---KYLIEANNA.

Know to all the ex-lava staff and players of the lava server that just because you aren't here DOESN'T MEAN that I do not deeply appreciate you. These are simply only some of the few that I respect, and I would write down reasons for every single one of you if I could, but I can't really. Thank you all, again, for contributing so much to the server, and I wish I could've contributed more to the server myself. Everyone feels that way, but they don't know that they've contributed so much more then they think.

AND NOW FOR A RANDOM SHOUT OUT TO SHANDE FOR BEING MY TERRIBLE EX-WIFE WHO DIVORCED ME AND LEFT ME FOR SOME OTHER DOOD. WHY. I LOVED YOU, I SWEAR.

well, I have FrenchSanta now, so who cares?

What about me, you ask? What will I do now that my home is being burned and sacked? Well, it's NOT being burned and sacked. It's being upgraded to a more fabulous experience in premium---RoF. I'll be hanging out there and helping you guys out there, and know that even though Lava is gone, the memories aren't, and they'll continue making themselves in premium.

also, WHY WASN'T THIS MADE YET? SERIOUSLY WTH GUYS.

This made me sad to read, I loved every single moment of staffing, and just being able to play. It's really sad I never got to play for a full year although. Let's all be happy that we got to go on one of the most amazing servers, and be grateful we got to savour the moments there! We all know that all the classic servers will not go down in vain. <3

I remember when Classic Lava, TheOne's Lava Survival, was our one and only server. (I was 15 at the time.) After a couple months of playing, I applied for Trusted, and by some miracle I got the job. A couple months later, I was one of the first Veteran Operators to serve after the rank was re-defined. (It used to be based on time spent as staff, as opposed to the merit-based system currently in place. I digress.)

Throughout time, TheOne's Lava Survival became Blocktopia's Lava Classic. And now we bid farewell to our oldest server. Though it is survived in Rituals of Fire, this is a time of great mourning. However, it is also a time of jubilation. I am reminded of a custom that's commonly practiced in the city of New Orleans. When some people die, the families do not have a drab and mournful funeral, but instead a celebration of the deceased's life. I feel as if we should rejoice in the memory, the history, the legacy that is our Lava server.

I hope that we look back on this not with anger, nor with what could have been, but with the fond memory of the friends we've made and the work we've all accomplished. I am so proud of everyone who has staffed, from Trusted to Head Controller. And as we move on, I only hope that we do not forget our beginnings.
