Hi guys, Platinum here. Or as most of you have known me in the past, Atari 2600. Some of you may be wondering why I don't go by Atari anymore and why I wanted you to keep it a secret for a small while. So I decided to come out here and explain what happened over the past month.
I temporarily left Aether to attempt to make my own DarkRP server. It went relatively okay but I ran out of money to keep it up for another month. I decided to keep the Atari 2600 name there and move the community from that server to another one that I will not name. I wanted to come back to Aether under a different name so I wouldn't be recognized by the players that used to follow me around and harass me. I have blocked these players and for now they haven't been interacting with me. I don't want to have any more interactions with those players.
I chose the name Platinum as a tribute to the first DarkRP server I was ever dedicated to, PlatinumRP. I played on that server from 2013 to 2015. As for why I now use a Shiny Zeraora as my identity, I don't know either. It was just a thing I came up with.
During my month off, I learned a lot about how to properly interact with a community and I also learned a lot about myself. I hope you guys can give me another shot here as I know I left on sort of negative terms. Please do not bring up the Atari name anymore as that part of me was left on IridiaRP, the server which I worked very hard on but failed no matter what I tried.
Maybe Atari 2600 should have stayed on PlatinumRP.
