Once a feudal lord, now a rogue, preserving myself or not, it's just starting over from the beginning

There was once a group of people who followed me. At that time, I wasn't on 7723 yet, but on another forum. Back then, my clan was called the Nobles. When the clan was first established, no one would have thought that our clan, mostly consisting of newcomers, would bring about anything.\I was fortunate to catch the right timing. When the two major clans were severely weakened and had quieted down, the Nobles took the opportunity to expand frantically, managing to survive in the cracks between the two giants and even once leading the scene. At that time, I was riding high and, having become a super moderator, I got carried away, showing off my sharpness. This led to the inevitable plot: first, I fought with an old member on the forum; later, there was a clan group battle, and a smaller clan caught us off guard and relentlessly pursued us. I even hid for a time, only daring to use an alternate account to remotely command the clan.\That incident was called the 'Black Saturday' event by one of my clan members.\Because of my foolishness, the Nobles lost a great opportunity for development. At the same time, I hurt the hearts of enthusiastic clansmen. I remember they complained to me more than once, saying how united and vibrant the Nobles used to be, and because of me, everything changed; the loving Nobles of the past could never return.\This deeply stimulated me. Later, after the storm passed, I made a comeback, starting with the clan structure, boldly reforming, and actively recruiting newcomers. After a period of laying low, the Nobles were back on track. During two consecutive months of the forum star activity evaluations, two of our top fighters dominated the rankings, taking first and second place.\However, as our status rose, some inevitable problems began to surface. Eventually, my proud protégé, who was also the deputy clan leader, branched off to establish another clan. His purpose was merely to prove that even without me, he could perform excellently, perhaps even surpass me. I suppose this is human nature, and he was walking in my old footsteps. Because of this, I wasn't really upset.\Another deputy clan member, dissatisfied with the attention I gave to the first one and feeling slighted, also left.\Even with the loss of these two core members, the Nobles didn't collapse. On the contrary, it still maintained considerable popularity, at least the activity in the clan chatroom was unmatched across the forum.But every story eventually comes to an end. Due to the forum's redesign, all the data was updated, and the new forum no longer had a clan system. The dukes I painstakingly built also ceased to exist. \ As a result, I arrived at 7723. \ In fact, when I came to 7723, I had even grander dreams, beyond clan disputes, more like the ideals of pioneering. \ That period of history may only be known to a very small number of members. Once, the desolate 7723 had no posts, and no group of people actively participating in the forum—everyone was just there for the games, and the number of replies to posts basically never exceeded double digits. \ Facing a situation where nothing seemed to grow, I profoundly realized the weight of the task ahead. So I first recommended myself to the site owner, appearing as a person providing suggestions, and the site owner, this enlightened but somewhat confused leader, quickly accepted me. \ At that time, we felt a kind of long-overdue recognition upon meeting. \ In fact, I proposed a three-step strategy… \ Back then, the situation was such that Java games were still in their late prosperity, and Android had not yet dominated. I seized the site owner's single-minded focus on developing homepage games and proposed the first step of the strategy: ways to increase homepage popularity. \ Summarized in thirteen words: 'Hold prize events, set up customer service, publish a game weekly.' \ Of course, this was by no means a brilliant strategy. I merely convinced the site owner to borrow from the experience of already successful websites, starting with imitation, and focusing first on expanding scale. \ Soon, consistent investment and boundless enthusiasm paid off. 7723 gradually developed from a lonely island into a tribe, and from a tribe into a village… Like a snowball rolling, 7723 saw countless registered members. As expected, among these members appeared active members—the first batch of invaluable, active members. Allow me to introduce a few representatives: Dàmén, Yuèxià, Ài Shǒuyóu, Dàn Dìng… \ They were the initial group of forum residents, the pioneers! \ Let me also describe the situation at this time: Java games had already shown signs of decline, and the forum had some activity. I considered this a great development opportunity, which could start the second step: shifting the focus to the forum. For this, the site owner and I had disputes because of differing development ideas. In the end, I chose a compromise, planning to let the site owner taste success step by step, beginning with prioritizing the forum.In summary, during that period, I did a few things: built a moderator team, proposed opening the medal application feature, added an Android version, led the novel trend, united active members, conducted interviews... At the same time, I co-organized a game weekly with Yuexia, partnered with Chenmo on a game review group, actively responded to game reviews. During that time, juggling both sides was exhausting, but thinking about the set goals, it didn't feel too bad, so I kept pushing forward. However, later, with the college entrance exam approaching, I had to make choices. Reluctantly, I gradually faded from everyone's sight, and my dreams were left to be realized by other members. Thanks to the efforts of Huangfu, Yuexia, Aoxiang, the very hardworking site administrator, and many other members, the forum developed to what it is today—not very large, but fortunately, the team is there, full of love and dreams, which is truly gratifying. Now, I have to somewhat selfishly propose the third-phase strategy, which is the core of my plan: the family. I am going to wholeheartedly manage the current rogues. I don't mind starting over, despite my past glory. Once all conditions are created and obstacles cleared, it will be time for me to shine. Brothers of the rogues, are you ready!!
