@Yelloms That's funny I did the same :P I also have the SS of everyone online moments before all hell broke loose. It's actually crazy when I go through my SShots cause I recognize a few of the folks that are still around and stuck with the server.
No one really talks about that time but I honestly thought it was the end of the server. I understand the toll it took and personally would have thrown in the towel, but that's me. I'm truly amazed at how Crafty took it as a learning experience and bounced back bigger, better, and more experienced. It takes a lot of patience and maturity to overcome something like it. You don't learn that kind of stuff, that's the kind of person you are, and I knew the server was worth staying with with someone like Crafty at the helm.
