Frankly, I don't have enough time or motivation to run this server anymore. It just doesn't fit into my work schedule, time with friends and family, time playing other games, etc. It's not exactly top of the priority list anymore. Everything is taking so long to update, and I don't have the money to run the server if I can't get constant donations. I fell out of the attachment I had to the server with all the inactivity.
I'm extremely sorry to disappoint everyone looking forward to the update, but things are just the way they need to be. The server gained a lot of excellent feedback in it's lifetime, and I'm very satisfied with how things went. If you were to ask me if I would run a server again in the future, I can only say... maybe. It was definitely a great experience, I would gladly do it again... but I would probably tweak some things. As far as I can see right now, though, it isn't going to happen. Not anytime soon, at least. And if I were to start another server, I would make sure that it had a longer lifespan, and probably more management. Being the only major backbone in the server appears to have failed.
...As of this day, the server is officially shut down.
Best of wishes in life, finding another server, and all that good jazz. I'll try to answer questions as best as I can, and I'll try to get a map up to download for you guys soon.
-Giffca
Due to the lack of donation money and Bukkit not having a 1.7 release out, the server will be inactive. I don't see a reason to pay and keep the server up while we wait to have proper support for 1.7.
A post has been written addressing 1.7 map reset concerns, among other things. To read this post, please click here!
A very proud Giffca would like to present...
(NOTE: You're not required to read the whole thread, but I expect you to know the guidelines before you apply.)
You know what I'm sick of seeing? No servers that fit good vanilla criteria. Servers that advertise "vanilla" in their title but have some sort plugin that ruins gameplay, like Economy. Servers where creating videos for youtube is their number one goal. Servers that require donation, or allow you to donate for unfair advantages. Servers being run by twelve-year olds. You get the idea.
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I've been playing Minecraft since the early alpha days, when fishing rods were just added and there wasn't anything to fish for! I've been a part of many a server community, varying with different rules, ideals, and functions, from original classic servers to PVP servers, Roleplay servers, Faction servers, and by far my favorite being Vanilla Survival servers. I've previously been part of staff on a few of those. Two servers I was a part of ran for a particularly long time before eventually going ka-poot. My favorite thing to do in Minecraft is build things, and I've always favored a town-like server, except the town related plugins.
Super Insomniac Party is my attempt on creating what I would consider the ideal vanilla server. There aren't going to be any plugins that alter gameplay, ever. Our goal isn't to copy Mindcrack. We're going to build some pretty cool things as a strong, awesome community. Oh, and because the name suggests it, we might stay up all night working on doing all of that. Partying and what not. Heh!
Here are some goals of SUPER INSOMNIAC PARTY
A completely vanilla experienced (Only protection plugins)
A thriving, friendly community (Mature, if you will)
Amazing and active towns
Excellent builders and buildings
I hope to achieve those, and more things may be listed later! We'll see where this adventure takes us.
A short list, and there may be more, but don't ask for a staff position. My eyes are peeled, and I will approach you if I think you'd make a good moderator!
Guidelines:
I call them guidelines instead of rules, because every situation is different, and must be handled on a case by case basis. You will only be banned if you're a parasite to the community. If you're fairly level headed and use common sense, you should be fine. With that said, there are a few things that aren't tolerated:
NO griefing is allowed at all.
NO unfair mods, cheats, or hacks are allowed.
NO being completely disrespectful to other players or staff.
NO iron or gold farms, OR lagging out the server. Grinders are okay, crashing the server isn't.
Do any of those things, and I can guarantee you will be promptly banned. The rest of these guidelines should be followed.
1. Don't take other people's things. There's no chest protection, but that doesn't mean you can treat everyone's chest as if they're your own. We can check to see if people are taking things, so don't think you can't be caught.
2. Keep the environment in tact. I would prefer not to see any floating trees.
3. Build realistically and neatly. Pixel art isn't really appreciated here, for example.
4. PVP is enabled! That doesn't mean that you can rob people or attack them without reason. Combat is a big part of the game, and we want people to be able to spar or duel, but it isn't okay to go berserk with the ability.
5. A sense of humor and excessive vulgarity isn't the same. There's no language filter, but vulgarity doesn't go un-noticed.
6. "Pranking" is allowed, but be smart about it. Don't prank people unless you know they will take it well. Don't make your prank an extreme hassle to clean up. Funny pranks are good, annoying pranks are bad. (Also, grief =/= prank, so don't.)
Protip: Pranks are more acceptable when the prank victim gets something good out of the ordeal.
7. If you're not sure about whether something is okay or not, be sure to ask! It's easier on everyone if there isn't a situation where someone goes "Oh, I didn't know."
8. Staff holds the right to determine whether something is okay or not. These guidelines obviously won't cover anything, and it's a good idea to listen to staff if they think something isn't okay. We're reasonable people, we can discuss the situation together- but staff has the last say.

Donations will be used for two purposes. One, to pay for the monthly cost of the server, and two, upgrade the server if the server gets too popular and we need more RAM or something silly.
There are NO tiers of prizes or in-game benefits, BUT if you donate, a [D] will appear next to your name. This is just to identify you as a donator, so that people can thank you in-game (Or so that you can stick out a little better in chat, whatever floats your boat.)

Apply for Whitelist:
Some things to note while applying:
PLEASE put some length into your application. We want to figure out whether or not you will mesh in the community we're trying to create, and if you don't provide a lot of information, we won't have a lot of grounds to accept you. Use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation for best success. Obviously, if all of that is second nature to you, it'll be easier to accept you.
Posting a link to previous buildings you've created will help your application (If they're good)
If someone that plays on this server referred the server to you, be sure to mention that in your application. If you're referred by a reputable player, whitelisting you is a lot easier of a decision to make.
If you get declined the first time you apply, you can re-apply. If you get declined twice, though, you won't be admitted to the server.
IF YOU ARE YOUNG (17 or under), you especially need to work hard on your application. We're shooting for an older, mature enough to be immature crowd, and we will let you in, but you need to prove yourself.
By applying, the staff and I are assuming that you've read, understood, and agree with all guidelines and rules.
Whitelisting here is STRICT. Seriously, put some good effort into your application, and take your time.

And if you want a signature like me, copy the code below!
I'm sorry, XfishfighterX, but your app is too short for my liking, and I have to decline you.
Feel free to re-apply and put more information in, though!
Why do you wish to join this server?: I love pure vainilla, i love how Notch designed the game and i like to play it like that I also hate griefers and to play in a complete explored world.
Past minecraft/server experience?: The server was called Mindbreak, i had two friends that i actually send the link of this topic to play toghether again, unfortunately the server closed, we don't know why.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I play minecraft since Beta 1.3 i think, I love to do huge redstones machines in my bases and go to quests in the dark, i hate XP farms because I think is more funny to hunt monsters and gather experience from them.
Do you have any questions?: Nop
Other info: I am a fan of some Mindcrackers like Paulsoaresjr., VintageBeef and GenerikB.
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 12, but 13 in less than a month
Why do you wish to join this server?: To play classic Minecraft with others. Singleplayer just isn't fun without someone to talk to. And I enjoy having these smalls servers so I have room to build with. I remember one of these types of servers, where I played with this guy, and to be honest with you, it was one of my fondest memories of the game so far. And I want to be able to do that again.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have griefed a lot a year ago. But, I have gotten rid of the habit, and I have never done it since.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am easy to talk to, very outgoing, somewhat friendly, and somewhat funny (or is what some people have said I was).
Do you have any questions?: No.
Other info: I live in Eastern Time (-5:00). So I might be playing at a different time than you, or any other players. And I am pretty active. I'll play 1-2 hours daily.
Why do you wish to join this server?: Honestly right now I am looking for a good server with a mature community. Right now I am trying out another but it is not really holding my interest. This also appears to be a good and fresh server so it would be easier to get started.
Past minecraft/server experience?: As I mentioned I am trying out another right now but in the past I was actively participating in a server called Proximatic{I believe that was the name} and worked on some large projects. My DA lists just a few of my past projects but my best was lost when I left the server. http://punkboi102.deviantart.com/gallery/
Tell us a bit about yourself: Well I am a guy and I am 21. I have a lot of free time on my hands at this time and I am wanting to get back into Minecraft. I did stop for a long while but all the updates have gotten interested again and I have a few projects in mind. I have also been a fan of personal towns and like most I hate griefing and unfriendly members.
Do you have any questions?: None that I can think of.
Other info: My primary style is building underground.
XfishfighterX, thanks for improving your app! You're accepted!
Alex_Nikic9, excellent app! Younger players worry me a bit, but you're accepted!
Oaex, accepted! Same as Alex, your age concerns me, and your griefing past... but I'll look past it!
Finally, Vexx102, accepted! Once the server gets off the ground more, we should be what you're looking for! I'm shooting for the same goals that you are.
I'll have you all whitelisted in a second.
Whitelisted!
Age (be honest there is no age limit): I am 15, soon to be 16 in a couple weeks.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I want to join a nice vanilla server, with a great community, and everyone does everything completely legitimate. No spawning stuff in, no people flying around. Just plain old regular Minecraft. Truthful, your introduction is what brought me in. It gave me the feeling that you had experience running servers, and that you knew the feeling of joining a new server to find it run by poor admins. But I also got the feeling that on this server, I would be able to play peacefully, do my builds, not worry about anyone destroying my builds, or steing out of my chests.
Past Minecraft/server experience?: I have joined many servers, most of them not surviving longer then a couple of weeks. I've played on factions servers, pvp servers,fishy servers, and just plain old regular vanilla. I like to think that I know how to act appropriately on most types of servers, but that is up for you to decide. I have decided though, out of all the different types of servers I have joined, I love vanilla servers over everything. It's just nice, when you don't have to worry about being griefed, and you can just play peacefully with people you trust.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am a 15 year old guy who likes to play Minecraft in his free time. I consider myself a pretty mellow guy, most of the time I'm carefree, but I can be serious when the need arises. I like listening to some soft pop music, not really the usual things people listen to today, but I just like quiet songs, like some songs by the script. I can build in minecraft secs fly in my opinion, and I am a great team player. I like tk make a lot of community things, such as a community enchanting table or public farms. But overall, the thing I like about minecraft is just making new friends and playing with those who have the same goals as I.
Do you have any questions?: How old is this server? Will anything be spawned in with the exception of a grief or theft? How many slots in the server?
Other info: Thank you for reading my application. If I did not meet your expectations, I sincerely apologize. Thank you once more for reading, and I hope I get accepted. Please reply soon.
Youknight, excellent application! (I'm happy to know that my introduction works! Haha!)
To answer your questions, the server is not even a day old. But! There might be good people I know from other communities joining and playing too, so it should feel pretty established in the coming days.
I'm teetering on the side of no spawning in anything, no exceptions. We have Coreprotect, a rollback block-detecting plugin incase of greif and stealing. The only case I can imagine of spawning stuff back into the game, is if someone steals and burns the items. But even that may not happen.
There are 20 slots! I'll be happy if there's around 6-12 active players though. Hahaha!
In-Game Name: My In-Game Minecraft Names is "disaster2000" ( All lower case and without ")
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): I am 14 years old.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I would really love to join this server because like you said, there really are no good servers that " fit good vanilla criteria." Other than some protective plugins, which I don't mind and would actually rather have, all these mods that are running on servers these days ruin the whole "vanilla" experience. Plus, I absolutely despise servers that are just there for youtube! It's not like it's going to go anywhere! I've been looking for a good minecraft server to play on for so long, and I can not seem to find one that I like. I think that I may have finally found one!
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been playing Minecraft since I first found it, late in 2010, right after the Halloween update was released. Throughout these couple years, I have played mainly singleplayer. I have never really dedicatedly played on a server before.I really just messed around on some No-Whitelist ones. However, I can tell you, Singleplayer Minecraft definitely gets boring after over 2 years of playing it, which is why I'd would just love to join the server and play with other people!
Tell us a bit about yourself: Well, I enjoy gaming in general, not just minecraft. Some of my favorites besides minecraft include Skyrim (or The Elder Scrolls in general), and Diablo 3. PC gaming is how I roll. Other than games, I love hockey. I'm a flyers fan and support all Philadeplhia teams for the most part. I'm a straight A student and have aced math portion of the New Jersey ASK (The state's standardized test) 4 years in a row, going on 5.
Do you have any questions?: 1. Will there be pranking? I love coming back to my base to a good prank and I love returning the prank even more! I guess it won't be a big deal to me if there is not, just an added bonus.
2. What Kind of events, if any, will be on the server? A lot of servers now are running UHC and have PVP events. They would also be an added bonus in my opinion.
Other info: I beleive that I am a pretty good exterior builder, (not so much interior) and I do pretty well with redstone, but I'm not the best. My old laptop fried a few weeks ago, so unfortunately I do not have many screenshots to show. However, I did start another singleplayer world recently and I built a small starter cottage that I have pictures of. It's not much, but whatever helps, I guess.
disaster2000, accepted! Whew, excellent application! Also, that cottage, dang dude. You're a good builder!
Can't wait to have you log in!
To answer your questions:
1. Well, yes. I've never been a part of a "pranking" community, so I don't know what you mean, but if it's friendly and all in good fun, I don't see any reason why not! As long as you're pranking someone with a good sense of humor, I suppose.
2. Events are something I would like to do, yes! The server has to get on it's feet a little bit first, but it would be nice to have Spleef tournaments, PVP tournaments, maybe horse races, all sorts of things! Raiding the end WILL be an event on some day, too.
EDIT! Didn't see the other app... um, accepted, greensoldier1!
I hope those anger problems won't lead to greifing or being rude to other players, because that would be a bummer. I want everyone to enjoy this server!
Why do you wish to join this server?: I wanna play on a cool whitelisted server that's ACTUALLY VANILLA. Not quasi-vanilla like you talked about in the thread. I love building stuff, especially in minecraft. I love a good community that whitelisted servers almost always offer. I would love to become a large part of the community of this server.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been enjoying the game Minecraft since the Early Beta days. (1.2.1) I've had a large list of experiences with the game and am heavily familiar with it and its mechanics. I remember my first server obsession. It was a survival server that I met one of my best friends on. I built a pantheon, a sky city, and numerous other things. I do not have pictures of them since the server was taken down and I didn't take screen shots :(. I am hoping that playing on a vanilla server with a close community will get me addicted to a server again.
Tell us a bit about yourself: My name is Eric in real life. I've been playing minecraft for about 2 years, and I'm obsessed with the game. I'm mediocre at redstone and an above average builder. I enjoy servers with close communities and friendships inside of them. I have a skype, which I will not release in this application for obvious reasons, if you seriously want it you can PM me. I also REALLY want to have the chance to play on this server. Also I have a bit of a morbid sense of humor, I hope you can handle it.
Do you have any questions?: How long will it take for you to accept this application?
Why do you wish to join this server?: I am bored of single player and I really miss the fun of multi-player and just being able to play with other people and have fun together. I can't wait to get back into a good server with friendly people and not a server filled with people set out to grief all my hard work.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I was on a server awhile ago for a long time and I built lots of community things like a automatic railroad station at spawn and then I also made a PvP arena right outside of spawn with arrows and bows and swords for everyone to use but then the server went public and people griefed all my work so now I'm looking for a new white-listed server.
Tell us a bit about yourself:I am a friendly guy and I like to hang out with people while I am gaming and thats why I am looking for a new server. I like to do group activities and I like to just like mess around and have fun while I'm bored and since its summer I've been really bored and dying to get onto a new server. I like to tell some pretty lame jokes too but they are still pretty funny, or at least they are to me.
Do you have any questions?: Nope. Just hoping you'll stay white-listed
Other info: I think you should pick me to be able to join your server cause I like to think I bring a positive energy to things. I'm from Minnesota and we are really known for being nice and I like to think I fit that stereotype actually, haha. I also consider myself to be pretty generous. I don't mind taking time out of whatever I'm doing to go help someone else or I don't mind giving people materials or things they need to do whatever they want to do.
Why do you wish to join this server?: Whenever I go online I want a server to go on that has a nice community, and friendly people. People that can build well and people that are not running around and griefing everybody. I wanted a server that has a good community and nice and friendly people. This is when I stumbled on this post. From what I have read (the whole post) you seem to have the same jist that I have and the same thoughts and feelings. This is why I wish to join this server. And you will not regret it!
Past minecraft/server experience?: Very good but I could not find a server that was friendly and like yours.
Tell us a bit about yourself: 14, in school, straight A's and very social. EST time zone and I play COD, and play minecraft. Also I am very athletic, basketball travel team and baseball travel team.
Do you have any questions?: I just hope I get in because this is a very good opportunity for me.
Why do you wish to join this server?: This looks like a neat server, I lost my previous vanilla server sadly, so this one looks like a good server to try and join and spend my time in.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been playing minecraft since beta 1.2, bought my account a few days after beta 1.3 came out, and i have been loving it ever since. I constantly play on servers and focus on having a great time.
Tell us a bit about yourself: Im a very friendly person, i fit in well in communities, and i love to build, that is my passion in any video game, and my creativity comes out well in my builds.
Do you have any questions?: Nope, not particularly.
Arrowheaderz, Meekus, shemonetty, and Ben_Fett, you are ALL accepted and whitelisted!
Oh, and hey, Meekus, I'm from Minnesota too!
OH EDIT: parkerpp17, you're accepted too! Didn't see you!
To answer your question, there is no guarantee that you won't, but there IS a guarantee that we can fix it 100%, so there really isn't any threat at all!
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 14. I know im young but ill be mature and follow all the rules and take them seriously. I wont trash the server or go on a rampage and kill everyone. I will follow the rules like everyone else.
Why do you wish to join this server?: This looks like it would be a fun server to be on. I would like to be on a vanilla server. I know there are a lot of them but this one looks like a really good one that I would be glad to build and and get to know people in. I have had some experince on white listed servers and it seems really fun. Im experinced and will be nice on this server. Also this server looks like there will be a lot of nice people on it and hopefully ill have fun most of all out of this server.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I play minecraft as much as I can. I bough my account last year and I mostly play vanilla worlds. The reason I play vanilla is the first month of my account it was all about hunger games and spleef but then I noticed they get boring but vanilla doesnt get boring to me. Ive been moderater 5 times and admin 7 times
Tell us a bit about yourself: Im friendly and will obey all rules. I dont curse in chat and I have some creativitey when it come to creating builds. I will be very helpful to the server and I will make sure I dont build just a square house ill make an impressive build.
Do you have any questions?: If you keep getting killed or killing someone will that person or you get banned?
Other info:I love vanilla servers. When it comes to being legit im all about it. I will help with a lot of stuff on the server. I might not be the most experince person when it comes to minecraft but I will help as much as I can to earn a spot on your server. If my application is too short then sorry.
Why do you wish to join this server?: well i'd like to join this server becouse it looks really Nice, i am hopin i can join Your server. i'd like to help it in building, now i know it's Vanilla but everyone got dreams right?. i got a good experience so i pretty much hope i get accepted i wish to join the server too help the community and get friends =P
Past minecraft/server experience?: well...in staff experience, i have been a moderator 10+ times, administrator 20+ times, operator 30+ times and a co-owner 2 times just so you know, i also have experience inBuilding, redstone, farming, mining and shopkeeping so i can find the right prices for the right items.
Tell us a bit about yourself: well. my story is. i am a proffesional Builder, i travel all around the minecraft world of servers of any kind of genres and adventures looking for just the right one. i have a building experience of 7.5 in rate. i can build mostly anything of any kind. i have visited over i believe 300 servers. mostly of them is shut Down so i am just traveling from one to another.
i have been banned a lot tho. why? well i'll tell you a sad story about my life in the past. once upon a time in a town far away, lived i happily With friends and Family. i had my own shop, the owner trusted me, i was a admin and i was happy. then 1 day, i travelled on the other side of the town, i saw a bridge. it looked ugly so i went to fix it up a bit, the wierd part was that on the side of it was a lot of big holes, now these looked like from tnt. i did hear some in the town. didn't know where the sound came from. well then i walked back to the town, suddenly a *click* sound came. it was a pressure plate well hidden in the road, i didn't know if it was a trap nor who did it. but then the town blew up, i was suprised....i wasn't expecting it...then the owner came out of his house, he was pretty mad. then for some reason he blamed me!....i tryed to tell him that it wasn't me. but i didn't have time. i was banned just wen i clicked enter.......so now you know the story.
Do you have any questions?: not much since i have put every information i got =P
Other info:i can't upload my building Pictures but i can send em to you if you got skype. if you do, here is my username: prebenkul

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I've been playing Minecraft since the early alpha days, when fishing rods were just added and there wasn't anything to fish for! I've been a part of many a server community, varying with different rules, ideals, and functions, from original classic servers to PVP servers, Roleplay servers, Faction servers, and by far my favorite being Vanilla Survival servers.

A short list, and there may be more, but don't ask for a staff position. My eyes are peeled, and I will approach you if I think you'd make a good moderator!
Guidelines:
I call them guidelines instead of rules, because every situation is different, and must be handled on a case by case basis. You will only be banned if you're a parasite to the community. If you're fairly level headed and use common sense, you should be fine. With that said, there are a few things that aren't tolerated:
NO griefing is allowed at all.
NO unfair mods, cheats, or hacks are allowed.
NO being completely disrespectful to other players or staff.
NO iron or gold farms, OR lagging out the server. Grinders are okay, crashing the server isn't.
Do any of those things, and I can guarantee you will be promptly banned. The rest of these guidelines should be followed.
1. Don't take other people's things. There's no chest protection, but that doesn't mean you can treat everyone's chest as if they're your own. We can check to see if people are taking things, so don't think you can't be caught.
2. Keep the environment in tact. I would prefer not to see any floating trees.
3. Build realistically and neatly. Pixel art isn't really appreciated here, for example.
4. PVP is enabled! That doesn't mean that you can rob people or attack them without reason. Combat is a big part of the game, and we want people to be able to spar or duel, but it isn't okay to go berserk with the ability.
5. A sense of humor and excessive vulgarity isn't the same. There's no language filter, but vulgarity doesn't go un-noticed.
6. "Pranking" is allowed, but be smart about it. Don't prank people unless you know they will take it well. Don't make your prank an extreme hassle to clean up. Funny pranks are good, annoying pranks are bad. (Also, grief =/= prank, so don't.)
Protip: Pranks are more acceptable when the prank victim gets something good out of the ordeal.
7. If you're not sure about whether something is okay or not, be sure to ask! It's easier on everyone if there isn't a situation where someone goes "Oh, I didn't know."
8. Staff holds the right to determine whether something is okay or not. These guidelines obviously won't cover anything, and it's a good idea to listen to staff if they think something isn't okay. We're reasonable people, we can discuss the situation together- but staff has the last say.

Age (Be honest, there's no age limit):15
Why do you wish to join this server?: I love pure vainilla, i love how Notch designed the game and i like to play it like that I also hate griefers and to play in a complete explored world.
Past minecraft/server experience?: The server was called Mindbreak, i had two friends that i actually send the link of this topic to play toghether again, unfortunately the server closed, we don't know why.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I play minecraft since Beta 1.3 i think, I love to do huge redstones machines in my bases and go to quests in the dark, i hate XP farms because I think is more funny to hunt monsters and gather experience from them.
Do you have any questions?: Nop
Other info: I am a fan of some Mindcrackers like Paulsoaresjr., VintageBeef and GenerikB.
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 12, but 13 in less than a month
Why do you wish to join this server?: To play classic Minecraft with others. Singleplayer just isn't fun without someone to talk to. And I enjoy having these smalls servers so I have room to build with. I remember one of these types of servers, where I played with this guy, and to be honest with you, it was one of my fondest memories of the game so far. And I want to be able to do that again.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have griefed a lot a year ago. But, I have gotten rid of the habit, and I have never done it since.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am easy to talk to, very outgoing, somewhat friendly, and somewhat funny (or is what some people have said I was).
Do you have any questions?: No.
Other info: I live in Eastern Time (-5:00). So I might be playing at a different time than you, or any other players. And I am pretty active. I'll play 1-2 hours daily.
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): I am 21
Why do you wish to join this server?: Honestly right now I am looking for a good server with a mature community. Right now I am trying out another but it is not really holding my interest. This also appears to be a good and fresh server so it would be easier to get started.
Past minecraft/server experience?: As I mentioned I am trying out another right now but in the past I was actively participating in a server called Proximatic{I believe that was the name} and worked on some large projects. My DA lists just a few of my past projects but my best was lost when I left the server. http://punkboi102.deviantart.com/gallery/
Tell us a bit about yourself: Well I am a guy and I am 21. I have a lot of free time on my hands at this time and I am wanting to get back into Minecraft. I did stop for a long while but all the updates have gotten interested again and I have a few projects in mind. I have also been a fan of personal towns and like most I hate griefing and unfriendly members.
Do you have any questions?: None that I can think of.
Other info: My primary style is building underground.
Alex_Nikic9, excellent app! Younger players worry me a bit, but you're accepted!
Oaex, accepted! Same as Alex, your age concerns me, and your griefing past... but I'll look past it!
Finally, Vexx102, accepted! Once the server gets off the ground more, we should be what you're looking for! I'm shooting for the same goals that you are.
I'll have you all whitelisted in a second.Whitelisted!
Age (be honest there is no age limit): I am 15, soon to be 16 in a couple weeks.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I want to join a nice vanilla server, with a great community, and everyone does everything completely legitimate. No spawning stuff in, no people flying around. Just plain old regular Minecraft. Truthful, your introduction is what brought me in. It gave me the feeling that you had experience running servers, and that you knew the feeling of joining a new server to find it run by poor admins. But I also got the feeling that on this server, I would be able to play peacefully, do my builds, not worry about anyone destroying my builds, or steing out of my chests.
Past Minecraft/server experience?: I have joined many servers, most of them not surviving longer then a couple of weeks. I've played on factions servers, pvp servers,fishy servers, and just plain old regular vanilla. I like to think that I know how to act appropriately on most types of servers, but that is up for you to decide. I have decided though, out of all the different types of servers I have joined, I love vanilla servers over everything. It's just nice, when you don't have to worry about being griefed, and you can just play peacefully with people you trust.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am a 15 year old guy who likes to play Minecraft in his free time. I consider myself a pretty mellow guy, most of the time I'm carefree, but I can be serious when the need arises. I like listening to some soft pop music, not really the usual things people listen to today, but I just like quiet songs, like some songs by the script. I can build in minecraft secs fly in my opinion, and I am a great team player. I like tk make a lot of community things, such as a community enchanting table or public farms. But overall, the thing I like about minecraft is just making new friends and playing with those who have the same goals as I.
Do you have any questions?: How old is this server? Will anything be spawned in with the exception of a grief or theft? How many slots in the server?
Other info: Thank you for reading my application. If I did not meet your expectations, I sincerely apologize. Thank you once more for reading, and I hope I get accepted. Please reply soon.
To answer your questions, the server is not even a day old. But! There might be good people I know from other communities joining and playing too, so it should feel pretty established in the coming days.
I'm teetering on the side of no spawning in anything, no exceptions. We have Coreprotect, a rollback block-detecting plugin incase of greif and stealing. The only case I can imagine of spawning stuff back into the game, is if someone steals and burns the items. But even that may not happen.
There are 20 slots! I'll be happy if there's around 6-12 active players though. Hahaha!
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): I am 14 years old.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I would really love to join this server because like you said, there really are no good servers that " fit good vanilla criteria." Other than some protective plugins, which I don't mind and would actually rather have, all these mods that are running on servers these days ruin the whole "vanilla" experience. Plus, I absolutely despise servers that are just there for youtube! It's not like it's going to go anywhere! I've been looking for a good minecraft server to play on for so long, and I can not seem to find one that I like. I think that I may have finally found one!
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been playing Minecraft since I first found it, late in 2010, right after the Halloween update was released. Throughout these couple years, I have played mainly singleplayer. I have never really dedicatedly played on a server before.I really just messed around on some No-Whitelist ones. However, I can tell you, Singleplayer Minecraft definitely gets boring after over 2 years of playing it, which is why I'd would just love to join the server and play with other people!
Tell us a bit about yourself: Well, I enjoy gaming in general, not just minecraft. Some of my favorites besides minecraft include Skyrim (or The Elder Scrolls in general), and Diablo 3. PC gaming is how I roll. Other than games, I love hockey. I'm a flyers fan and support all Philadeplhia teams for the most part. I'm a straight A student and have aced math portion of the New Jersey ASK (The state's standardized test) 4 years in a row, going on 5.
Do you have any questions?: 1. Will there be pranking? I love coming back to my base to a good prank and I love returning the prank even more! I guess it won't be a big deal to me if there is not, just an added bonus.
2. What Kind of events, if any, will be on the server? A lot of servers now are running UHC and have PVP events. They would also be an added bonus in my opinion.
Other info: I beleive that I am a pretty good exterior builder, (not so much interior) and I do pretty well with redstone, but I'm not the best. My old laptop fried a few weeks ago, so unfortunately I do not have many screenshots to show. However, I did start another singleplayer world recently and I built a small starter cottage that I have pictures of. It's not much, but whatever helps, I guess.
Can't wait to have you log in!
To answer your questions:
1. Well, yes. I've never been a part of a "pranking" community, so I don't know what you mean, but if it's friendly and all in good fun, I don't see any reason why not! As long as you're pranking someone with a good sense of humor, I suppose.
2. Events are something I would like to do, yes! The server has to get on it's feet a little bit first, but it would be nice to have Spleef tournaments, PVP tournaments, maybe horse races, all sorts of things! Raiding the end WILL be an event on some day, too.
EDIT! Didn't see the other app... um, accepted, greensoldier1!
I hope those anger problems won't lead to greifing or being rude to other players, because that would be a bummer. I want everyone to enjoy this server!
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 14
Why do you wish to join this server?: I wanna play on a cool whitelisted server that's ACTUALLY VANILLA. Not quasi-vanilla like you talked about in the thread. I love building stuff, especially in minecraft. I love a good community that whitelisted servers almost always offer. I would love to become a large part of the community of this server.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been enjoying the game Minecraft since the Early Beta days. (1.2.1) I've had a large list of experiences with the game and am heavily familiar with it and its mechanics. I remember my first server obsession. It was a survival server that I met one of my best friends on. I built a pantheon, a sky city, and numerous other things. I do not have pictures of them since the server was taken down and I didn't take screen shots :(. I am hoping that playing on a vanilla server with a close community will get me addicted to a server again.
Tell us a bit about yourself: My name is Eric in real life. I've been playing minecraft for about 2 years, and I'm obsessed with the game. I'm mediocre at redstone and an above average builder. I enjoy servers with close communities and friendships inside of them. I have a skype, which I will not release in this application for obvious reasons, if you seriously want it you can PM me. I also REALLY want to have the chance to play on this server. Also I have a bit of a morbid sense of humor, I hope you can handle it.
Do you have any questions?: How long will it take for you to accept this application?
WILL you accept me?
Please do.
Oh that needs a question mark right?
Okay Here... ?
Please do ?
Other info: Here's a link to a thing me and my friend built. (I came up with almost all of the design, he just helped build it. I made the majority of the design decisions so I could considered to be credited with the build. http://cdn2.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1328/2013-07-10_051807_5906821.jpg)

Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 18
Why do you wish to join this server?: I am bored of single player and I really miss the fun of multi-player and just being able to play with other people and have fun together. I can't wait to get back into a good server with friendly people and not a server filled with people set out to grief all my hard work.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I was on a server awhile ago for a long time and I built lots of community things like a automatic railroad station at spawn and then I also made a PvP arena right outside of spawn with arrows and bows and swords for everyone to use but then the server went public and people griefed all my work so now I'm looking for a new white-listed server.
Tell us a bit about yourself:I am a friendly guy and I like to hang out with people while I am gaming and thats why I am looking for a new server. I like to do group activities and I like to just like mess around and have fun while I'm bored and since its summer I've been really bored and dying to get onto a new server. I like to tell some pretty lame jokes too but they are still pretty funny, or at least they are to me.
Do you have any questions?: Nope. Just hoping you'll stay white-listed
Other info: I think you should pick me to be able to join your server cause I like to think I bring a positive energy to things. I'm from Minnesota and we are really known for being nice and I like to think I fit that stereotype actually, haha. I also consider myself to be pretty generous. I don't mind taking time out of whatever I'm doing to go help someone else or I don't mind giving people materials or things they need to do whatever they want to do.
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 14
Why do you wish to join this server?: Whenever I go online I want a server to go on that has a nice community, and friendly people. People that can build well and people that are not running around and griefing everybody. I wanted a server that has a good community and nice and friendly people. This is when I stumbled on this post. From what I have read (the whole post) you seem to have the same jist that I have and the same thoughts and feelings. This is why I wish to join this server. And you will not regret it!
Past minecraft/server experience?: Very good but I could not find a server that was friendly and like yours.
Tell us a bit about yourself: 14, in school, straight A's and very social. EST time zone and I play COD, and play minecraft. Also I am very athletic, basketball travel team and baseball travel team.
Do you have any questions?: I just hope I get in because this is a very good opportunity for me.

Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 18
Why do you wish to join this server?: This looks like a neat server, I lost my previous vanilla server sadly, so this one looks like a good server to try and join and spend my time in.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been playing minecraft since beta 1.2, bought my account a few days after beta 1.3 came out, and i have been loving it ever since. I constantly play on servers and focus on having a great time.
Tell us a bit about yourself: Im a very friendly person, i fit in well in communities, and i love to build, that is my passion in any video game, and my creativity comes out well in my builds.
Do you have any questions?: Nope, not particularly.
Other info: Nothing else i have in mind.
Oh, and hey, Meekus, I'm from Minnesota too!
OH EDIT: parkerpp17, you're accepted too! Didn't see you!
To answer your question, there is no guarantee that you won't, but there IS a guarantee that we can fix it 100%, so there really isn't any threat at all!
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 14. I know im young but ill be mature and follow all the rules and take them seriously. I wont trash the server or go on a rampage and kill everyone. I will follow the rules like everyone else.
Why do you wish to join this server?: This looks like it would be a fun server to be on. I would like to be on a vanilla server. I know there are a lot of them but this one looks like a really good one that I would be glad to build and and get to know people in. I have had some experince on white listed servers and it seems really fun. Im experinced and will be nice on this server. Also this server looks like there will be a lot of nice people on it and hopefully ill have fun most of all out of this server.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I play minecraft as much as I can. I bough my account last year and I mostly play vanilla worlds. The reason I play vanilla is the first month of my account it was all about hunger games and spleef but then I noticed they get boring but vanilla doesnt get boring to me. Ive been moderater 5 times and admin 7 times
Tell us a bit about yourself: Im friendly and will obey all rules. I dont curse in chat and I have some creativitey when it come to creating builds. I will be very helpful to the server and I will make sure I dont build just a square house ill make an impressive build.
Do you have any questions?: If you keep getting killed or killing someone will that person or you get banned?
Other info:I love vanilla servers. When it comes to being legit im all about it. I will help with a lot of stuff on the server. I might not be the most experince person when it comes to minecraft but I will help as much as I can to earn a spot on your server. If my application is too short then sorry.

Tell us a bit about yourself: well. my story is. i am a proffesional Builder, i travel all around the minecraft world of servers of any kind of genres and adventures looking for just the right one. i have a building experience of 7.5 in rate. i can build mostly anything of any kind. i have visited over i believe 300 servers. mostly of them is shut Down so i am just traveling from one to another.
i have been banned a lot tho. why? well i'll tell you a sad story about my life in the past. once upon a time in a town far away, lived i happily With friends and Family. i had my own shop, the owner trusted me, i was a admin and i was happy. then 1 day, i travelled on the other side of the town, i saw a bridge. it looked ugly so i went to fix it up a bit, the wierd part was that on the side of it was a lot of big holes, now these looked like from tnt. i did hear some in the town. didn't know where the sound came from. well then i walked back to the town, suddenly a *click* sound came. it was a pressure plate well hidden in the road, i didn't know if it was a trap nor who did it. but then the town blew up, i was suprised....i wasn't expecting it...then the owner came out of his house, he was pretty mad. then for some reason he blamed me!....i tryed to tell him that it wasn't me. but i didn't have time. i was banned just wen i clicked enter.......so now you know the story.
