I can't get it working. I'm going to a NY party. It'll be down at least until I can troubleshoot it some more. I apologize for the inconvenience. I wanted to get some playtime in tonight myself.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Sunny California!!
Luckily the world didn't end so we got no major earthquake that would have sunk Los Angeles to the bottom of the ocean.

Ok, that was a huuuuge P.I.T.A. but the world is up and running. We have about a 5 hour rollback. I lost stuff from the last 5 hrs, too, so I apologize for the inconvenience and downtime. I got frustrated with the whole thing and shut it down to go to a New Years party last night.

This is what happened, because I think that it's important for you guys to know. We've had a griefer or two that think it's hilarious to use TNT on their neighbors' houses. Since there are no plugins for FTB, the only clues I can get to what happened come from the Forge logs which are like reading Chinese braille. So, I backed up the world and tried to change a value in the invtweaks.txt file from 46 to 0 for TNT. Apparently, the server didn't like this. At all. I couldn't restore the world last night or even get ANY of the saved worlds to work. Someone just logged in and told me that a slew of servers were down last night, so perhaps it was coincidental timing when this all happened that I couldn't get the server going again. I have no clue.

Any time I go to the FTB forums to ask a question, even if I get an answer at all, it's something vague like, "Just alter your config files, man." I suppose they heard some admin talk once about changing the .cfg files, so they think it's somehow helpful to tell me that.

But I do have a bead on who you griefers are. I know of the little feud that is ongoing with a few of you and who is part of it. I have told the server that if you want to build forts and have a war, then that's fine as long as all parties agree to the war beforehand. You haven't done that. You're sneaking over to your neighbor's house and "chicken bombing" or whatever it is you guys call it. THIS WILL STOP. If I have to erase the entire g*dd**n whitelist to make it stop, then I will. When you applied for this server, you read the large print on the title that says no griefing. This means that you are a liar if you agreed to sign up for a nongriefing server yet are now griefing.

From now on, I will start booting people if I even get a whiff of you griefing or stealing. I'm a guy that likes proof before I kick anyone, but since Bukkit and Forge can't seem to get along, I have no way of proving anything until someone comes out with a solution. This problem isn't unique to this server; it's a problem for all FTB admins. If you are found snooping around someone's house or going through a chest that isn't yours, then I will ban you on the spot. I haven't been sneaking around and TPing to spy on people because I've always hated when admins do that crap. But I am going to start watching all of you until we can find the bad guy. I'm not a mean fellow, but you have no business snooping around someone else's house. It's not fair to the honest players to whom I've promised an honest server to have a couple of jackholes blowing up their hard work.

If you enjoy this very stable, smooth server we have, then you'll abide by the rules you agreed to or else you're gone. You've been warned.

Do you have any experience with the FTB modpack?:
I have quite some experience yes, haven't gone in-depth though but I will learn along the way.

What do you look for in a server?:
I really enjoy the multiplayer environment of minecraft, I like singleplayer, but I really miss talking to other people while playing.

Do you understand that there is no griefing or stealing?
Ofcourse!

I would not even enjoy playing the game in an unfair way, I want to play multiplayer for a reason and that is to have fun with others, not to give them a bad time.

Do you accept that foul language is allowed on this server?
Yes, no prob

If you have a prior ban, then please explain your side of things:
I have not had any bans on servers.

Go here and read post 267. Put my last sentence in your whitelist application, so that I know you've read it. http://www.minecraft...0#entry20059023
I have read the entire post, I can't do more than agree, if it's the only way to find the griefer, it has to happen. here's the sentence: If you enjoy this very stable, smooth server we have, then you'll abide by the rules you agreed to or else you're gone. You've been warned.

Thanks for reading!

Estakee and Delirenzo, you're in!

I really don't have a clue, but find it pretty interesting!

What do you look for in a server?:
Helpful admins as well as moderators and members.
I'd really like to get into FTB, can't wait to try out all the machinery stuff!

Do you understand that there is no griefing or stealing?
Yes I do.
I have never accepted or understood griefing, it's just annoying at a VERY high level. Everyone that griefed on my server has always been banned instantly.

Do you accept that foul language is allowed on this server?
Of course, it just adds to the fun (when not used in every message) :-)

If you have a prior ban, then please explain your side of things:
I don't play on other servers often, so: no bans!

And now your last sentence (the last two guys got it wrong lol):

Do you have any experience with the FTB modpack?: Yes, I have played it since its release and have played all of the different modpacks and have a good understand of most of the mods in the pack but would like to learn more about those which requiring coding e.g Computer craft

What do you look for in a server?: Well I specifically decide to apply for a whitelist on this server because of it being stated as a 'Mature Server' as I cant be bothered with young players doing stupid things and then denying them which has happenned before and I have been griefed many a time by young kids of which you would class as 'Noobs' and also I wanted one with a good community that will help eachother out and is friendly and can sustain a good server enviroment for fun and interesting times.

Do you understand that there is no griefing or stealing? ​Yes and this is why I look for whitelisted servers.

Do you accept that foul language is allowed on this server? Yes and glad that it is because If your annoyyed and express it on most servers and use any type  of foul language, you get banned.

If you have a prior ban, then please explain your side of things: I have never been banned and hopefully never will get banned.

You've been warned. Excerpt from post 267
