Lugnut wasn't a cancer but yes,
There was a loss of heart.

Sure.
The moment Lugnut came into the picture, I recall he began messing around with the evented admin controls. He strikes me as someone who would readily interfere in the server for better or for worse.
He was now dictating server hosting times. Kniaz had no choice but to let him have the final say on aspects of server management as well, I recall Kniaz saying "well thats up to Lugnut really" which put a middle man into the operations. I feel decisions were later compromised because of Lugnut's involvement and Bluzone stopped being as good as it could be. It was an extra person to consult at the end of the day. It slowed things down and I've always seen Lugnut as someone who was more interested in taking over than helping out.
The server was held together by Kniaz. The moment he wasn't there, the standards would slip, and I've never felt Lugnut quite appreciated how Bluzone was meant to be. He never kept the standard up when Kniaz was absent.
Also I also noticed the RP quality drop around the time he came in. This may have been a coincidence-- Lugnut hosting and Kniaz going public all mashed into one and I can't give accurate dates.
Kniaz:
I do feel very bad about the competition thing, and I apologize completely for that...
I disagree mostly with Lugnut being bad to the server, however. But I'll agree I did take a very big step down when I asked him to be the Bluzone's coder and co-host.
I don't want to see this happen, and it's saddening to lay the Bluzone to a rest like this, but I believe it certainly had its run.
The dedicated server is up for grabs, if Lugnut doesn't want it.

I like the poll.
My IGN is Mango.
but why this way? can't Ike or someone carry on with it?
Kniaz:
I don't mean for anyone to take this personally, but a big reason why the Bluzone started going downhill is because I wasn't there. Handing it over to someone else would be immensely ironic.
