Today we'd like to announce that the minecraft forums and wiki are now part of the Curse group of fansites.
Curse is a gaming network designed to bring gamers and the games they love together in a whole new way. Curse is one of the largest gaming networks in the world,
and we're extremely excited to now be a part of that.
Being part of the curse network will now give us more room to grow the sites, and not be limited by hardware or funding restrictions. We'll also be able to provide giveaways and promotions for the community!
It's important to note that not much is going to change. The amazing team of moderators that keep this place sane will continue to be in the same roles that they are now.
Over the next few weeks we will be migrating to some brand new servers, that will more than handle our capacity and provide us for some room to grow!
If you have any questions or concerns we urge you to use this topic to voice them. We'd love to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
citricsquid, Aera, & WedTM

Advertising? Will there be more? I just went to curse.com and the very first thing I got was a crappy full page timed ad. What kind of these will be required?
Does curse impose content/language restrictions over and above the current minecraft forum rules?
Will a "premium" curse account grant access to greater minecraft content?
Does the email address/information I've submitted to this website now accessible by curse?

We added another advert today, that's as far as it will go.

currently no, that may change in the future. It depends, we (aera, wedtm and myself) get to choose, we could integrate with curse.com premium and remove adverts, but as of now it's not planned, could happen though. More content? Not sure.

Yes, they now own everything however the privacy policy states they won't sell this information, so it's safe! If you do have any concerns I can put you in contact with the correct people. Their privacy policy is available: http://www.curse.com/content/PrivacyPolicy.aspx

Not to be a pain in the ass, I'm just wondering.
Totally understandable, we appreciate these questions, our aim is to get you guys as in the loop as possible.

I didn't know you guys controlled what content minecraft releases. Because that's what he was asking. Will the deal with Curse cause a premium membership to get more minecraft content than non-members. Which is wrong.

Tip: Keep your diamonds off your bar and in your bags. You may accidently drop 10 of them into the lava. Uncool. /Facepalm

Ah, my mistake. I misunderstood the question, I thought he was asking about content via the forums, like special forum sections.
This is a deal with the forum and wiki, NOT Minecraft or Mojang, it has nothing to do with Minecraft as a game or Mojang as a company, although we've spoke to Mojang and they are fine with the deal, they are in no way connected.

Yay?
(Whats curse?)
They're a gaming site company who run some of the biggest gaming sites in the world, the only bigger gaming network is IGN!

Good deal, I just wanted to verify that to make sure there weren't any crazy raging over it. Thanks for clarifying so quickly lol It was a good choice joining up with Curse by the way. Did they offer or did you come to them with an offer?

Since Curse basically pools a bunch of 3rd-party mods I would assume so... eventually.
