The server is dedicated, save for when Jon's computer BSoDs, or crashes in any other way. Not when he turns it off.
I'm sorry about not accepting/declining people, but you have to understand that it's because I have a huge life outside of the computer.
I'm only showing progress reports as what the people in the server have done; Not to show you what I've done instead of going through applications.
I'm really trying to get more admins/mods to accept applications when I can't, but the lack of highly capable persons on the board are stunning, along with the fact I don't have much time to search for them.
I am also going to "hire" a new PR for this very reason.
That still doesn't explain why you accepted me and said you'd send me the IP, but either never sent it, or I didn't get it for some reason.

This man really is a genius. Never have i seen such a clear and well written forum post.
There are dozens of people that are willing to give up their time to help you achieve something, and some are even willing to donate their money. Why don't you just take the time to tell them if they have been accepted or declined? You took up the role as boss, and if people are willing to work for you on their free time, I wouldn't ignore them.
I understand that you're stepping up to prove a point and to help this server, but there are many faults and unreferenced details in that statement.
1: I'm not forcing them to give up their ever-so-precious freetime to help me conquer a virtual block lava red world. You can resign freely at will if this is too time-demanding for some people.
2: I didn't ask for donations in the first place. The host wants a better, new computer, and people donate out of their heart to him and not me.
3: I don't just tell them "you're accepted" and mail them the IP address.
The process is actually rather lengthy.
4: I never expected anywhere in the development of this project that it would grow so large. At first, it was going to be a 2-page long free time project between my friends, and I thought it would be a nice formality to have an "official thread". That's why I didn't plan out enough free-time to enter the server, check up on things, go through the mass amount of applications, and then do everything else cyber-related. It's like a 2nd life with x2 the chores.
5: I'm not "ignoring" anyone who applies. I actually read all apps, but that's all I can normally do.
The entire reason we're shuffling with apps open/closed is so that the project dies down to a rate that I can handle.
And now on the subject of the page,
I was on a road-trip throughout most of the day and wasn't able to send out a few IPs.
I'm sitting half-sideways on a weird chair in some rural motel, and I'm not able to move into a different room for another 5 hours, so please excues all typos on this.

They wouldn't tell me what I am unless I put this here
Re posting as I think it got lost in the thread when you were on the road trip.
In-Game name: ChefMan
Position: Guard
Playing Since: September
Why I should be a Guard: I love protecting and killing, when I hear something around that is not friendly I know it needs to die. I always play with sound and my (in-game) head on a swivel.
Comments: Really bored of single player at the moment, and my server i play on with friends has no direction and they don't play much. Really want to be a part of something organized and what looks like a lot of fun! Also I know how to apply skins, and if i have issues I know what Google is! :smile.gif:
Turtleey, i would like to apply to be an admin or a moderator. I have tried to help anyone who needs it when im on. I go on the forum each day, so i could check applications for you. I believe i am very responsible, and fair. i would really like to help make this project the best it could be. please consider me. thanks

GENERATION 18: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
Turtleey, remember, you already sent me the IP, I just want to know when I can be accepted. I was proven I was not accepted, but I still have the IP, just assign me as builder and we're good to go, I'm usually on even if I'm the only one there... I might talk to myself a bit, but I'll still work by myself. I should start working on plans for a meeting hall... Do we have one? I would love to create the plans! I can sketch with pretty good detail! (And in 3-D if needed)
SHORT SUMMARY:
So, all I'm really waiting for is if I will be assigned, as I have the IP. I will start building immediately, without any problems, if you have a project you need done, I'll help, if I could, or if I'm allowed, I'd start some basic building plans for new ones too...
In-Game name: Overrwatcher
Position: Guard
Playing Since: My forum join date is very close to my actual join date
Why I should be a guard: I can reflect the mighty fireballs of the ghasts, and can shoot them down with arrows.
Comments: This will be fun. ESPECIALLY when in Beta, where there's health and actual monsters. You can leave me with 1 of any material, or some food + bow + arrows.
And if I don't get accepted as a guard...

Playing Since: My forum join date is very close to my actual join date
Why I should be a collector: I can mine while being able to fund my way out, via a genius two-block system, for example, = Towards deeper in the mines = Towards the entrance.
Comments: We will need lots of supplies to colonize.

You're basically accepted.
I'm "FLATIRONS" on the server,
So if he approves of you, that's the same thing.
You know... im quite interested in joining this project.
ive been playing for around a month or so now, just havent bothered to log onto the forums, but hey, i've actually signed in and would like to apply
Username: Newtkiller17
Postion:Collecter
How long ive been playing:about 1 to 1.5 months
Reason: Im quite good at mining deep underground and avoiding lava, (i usually carry 2 buckets, one with water, one empty to help make paths around lava areas. Im also experienced with paying attention to what is around me, never digging directly above or below me, and am experienced with shift-bridging and also using towers to get to otherwise unreachable materials.
Tons of free time on my hands and protecting is my niche. Expirienced gladiator in the creeper arena and enjoys playing dead man's vollyball with Ghast. Also would work on skins
Not so smart kids: HaHa Play Doh
