Why do you wish to join this server?: Your intro was spot-on: in a word, disarming. I trust you to guide the community toward realizing your vision Giffca, and you've given yourself a head-start with this excellent write up. I can sense your optimism--an all too refreshing sentiment after reading through post after post with heavy-handed rules and the mods to enforce them. I want to help you achieve the relaxed and groovy vibe you are after.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have played a few different single player worlds extensively and would call myself an all-around player. I'm decent with redstone and mob traps, can build (sometimes very) attractive buildings in interesting locations, and I enjoy exploring and combat. I'm rubbish at minecarts. I have not yet commited to any server long-term but I have tried a few out. I'm optimistic about yours--I am getting lonely in my single-player worlds and look forward to building with others.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I like helping out less experienced players and welcoming new people to the server. I also enjoy learning from people who are way more badass than I am. Hopefully there will be a good mix on Insomnia.
Do you have any questions?: Absolutely! The one thing that seemed incongruous in your original post was that creeper damage is turned off. For me, that is pretty far from a TRUE vanilla experience. Is there a chance it could be turned on? Has anyone else in the community brought this up? Part of the fun for me is building structures smartly so that they can avoid or survive destruction by creepers--not to mention the panicky thrill you get when you DO find a creeper in your base and you have to decide in a split second whether you can kill it quickly or lure it away!
Other info: Nope, I think that'll do. Be well and looking forward to playing!
Accepted! To answer your question, mob damage is technically a vanilla server option, but I do understand your point. It has been brought up and the community has agreed on keeping it off, for the most part. A major reason why it's off is because we encourage town building to keep our community strong, unlike many vanilla servers, and high-traffic areas start to look like the moon after not very long, as I've learned from past experiences as the admin of a vanilla server (which had mob damage on for a brief time). So for now, I don't think it will be turned on anytime soon. I hope that's not a dealbreaker; but if you're still on board, come join us!

Why do you wish to join this server?: A friend of mine told me about this server and it sounds like a server i would like to join because first of all it is white listed which means there will be no griefers besides enderman and it is survival with no cheats. My friend also told me that there are good people on this server and that they make awesome builds and that is something i would like to be a part of.
Past minecraft/server experience: I got minecraft a few months berfore 1.5 and I was always playing single player then i started looking for survival servers to join but never found one that i got raided on the first day then i found a decent survival server but it was shut down after a few months.
Do you have any questions?: yes are you on minecraft 1.6 or 1.5 if 1.5 what version of 1.5 (1.5.1, 1.5.2)?
Tell us a bit about yourself: I like to play on servers and work on the spawn (makinging it have a lot of function with beauty) and i am good at making under ground mob grinders I hate griefing and griefers but i love pranking I like to do comunity builds and just hang out with the people on the server.
other info: I have a skype
p.s. my computer mixed up the order of the questions and about my self lines.
In-Game Name:_Bad_Boyz_(I do not know why I named myself that if you are pondering.)
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit):I am 14.
Why do you wish to join this server: Lately, all there have been are hardcore griefing/faction servers out there. That is all they did, and I wanted a server to hang out on with mature people without worrying about being griefed, or being cussed out at. I have been playing other games, and I want a good server to look into on my way into playing Minecraft again. I did use to have my own servers, one in Classic, and one in the live game. But, both did not work out. It was just too much to handle for me, plus, the mods were just.. no.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I have been playing Minecraft since early Alpha. I have enjoyed the game since, and I have loads of experience with a variety of plugins.
Do you have any questions?: No, I currently do not have questions to ask, but if I am able to join the servers, I may have some in store.
Other info: I live in the EST Time Zone, that's all that there is for this part.

Why do you wish to join this server?: Because I never tried a Survival server before and I think I will definitly give some support to the community
Past minecraft/server experience?: No bans... Only been on like, minigame servers and skyblock servers
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am from mexico, I have been on minecraft for a year and a half now. I can play (starting monday) only in the mornings and at night. I have about a 90% English. Have skype, can facecam, and have almost no restrictions
Do you have any questions? Not really
Other info: I'm a real good farmer (when it comes to above ground)
Zprm, accepted! Don't mind blaze, he's using sarcasm. The server is really friendly, but some of us tend to cuss and it can get out of hand at times. Rest assured, you won't get cussed at for absolutely no reason, that's ridiculous.
From here on out, the whitelisting application is going to be tougher. The server started strong for the first few days, and we're going through people like we're going through candy. This is an attempt to find more people that will be more inclined to stick around.
There's two major differences: One:
Applications have to be filled out thoroughly. There's no sentence limit, because I don't roll like that- but I need enough information from you to merit whitelisting you. Strongly constructed short sentences are fine, as well as lengthy, detailed paragraphs.
Two:
I hate to do this, but kids are going to be discriminated against. If you're younger, you can still get accepted, but if you don't meet the standards of the application or what I would consider young yet mature enough to be accepted, you probably won't be.
With that, hosting the server has been real enjoyable, and I hope to bring all future players the best of the vanilla community experience.
Why do you wish to join the server?: Well I a m a big fan of the mindcrackers and i have long been searching for a dedicated server that will accept me for a builder and fellow minecrafter, not as that liitle kid.... oh well.
How active to you plan to be?: 2hrs a day maybe little more or less.
Past minecraft/server experience: Never banned and only played on prison and spleef servers.
Tell us a liitle bit about yourself: I love jokes and of course minecraft. I'm a dubstep fan and i'm love paddleboarding, kayaking, jetskkiing,skiing,hunting,and fishing. I'm a bit of CoD player too.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I've been a huge fan of the Mindcrackers and have long been searching for a permanent Minecraft community to sow off builds,see others,have fun, and possibly make some long lasting minecrafting friends. This server seems like the perfect opportunity for me to apply and play on.
How active do you intend to be?: I can be on for up to three hours a day split between the day weekly. This will vary on school,sports,family, and MMA. I have a new baby brother coming in a few months so yah.
Past minecraft/server experience?: Been playing Minecraft since middle Alpha and have loved it ever since i started. I don't really play on servers except minigames and some prison servers. Hopefully I can add this server to my server experience.
Tell us a bit about yourself:I play rugby,football,MMA, I also paddleboard and jetski. I live in the North and have a new baby brother coming. My life revolves around family then school. I listen to rock and classical(i know weird). I also enjoy massive builds and community builds. Also events such as Christmas settings,Halloween stuff and killing the bosses together. Also Keralis is alot of my inspiration.
Hey Giffca, I wanted to let you know I probably won't be on for the next week because I'll be on vacation. I'll probably be able to get back to minecraft next friday.
Tibliam, to answer your question, yes! I am the governor of North Dakota. Lol.
Mpmj, I have no problem with redstone as long as it's super cool or still looks pretty good
Why do you wish to join the server?: I was a member of BeanCraft, and I was a pretty dedicated member, I was on everyday that I was home, or had internet. I just want to be able to play on another amazing vanilla server with decent people. Im also very excited to see what you build for spawn *If i'm accepted*
How active to you plan to be?: Everyday, (not counting dad's weekends and rough school days) for 2-10 hours
Past minecraft/server experience: I know all the *basics* and most of the difficult to grasp game mechanics are familiar to me I was very active player on beancraft (sorry to reference this too much XD)
Tell us a liitle bit about yourself: I live in NC, have 3 older brothers no sisters, 11 in 6th grade, bigger than most everyone, deeper voice. more mature. I have been playing minecraft since late alpha, or early beta, and enjoy the game deeply. I am experienced with redstone.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I have been a long time participant in Vanilla servers. I have tried other servers like Aethrys and not found them to my liking. I have also recently 'lost' a server (read: It shut down). Subsequently I would like a stable server run by fellow adults. I also would like to perhaps make a few more friends.
How active do you intend to be?: Off and on. I'll go weeks on end playing nothing but minecraft. But then I'll also go play other games. I am an alpha/beta tester. Alpha'd Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, for example. I have other games I play, but im loyal to my minecraft friends as well. In summery. Expect to see me come and go for periods of time. (That being said, If i LOVE the server, Ill be on ALLLLLL the time)
Past minecraft/server experience?: Moderator- Simply Vanilla, Minecraft Liberated. Member- Simply Vanilla, Cubeology, Minecraft Liberated, Aethrys and more. When a moderator, I am fair, And no two situations are alike. Some people are just downright malicous, and need to be watched, others make mistakes or get mad. I also like to play the role of Mediator. Many of my fellow players when I was Moderator have asked me to host my own server. Sadly I havent the spare change for that.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am Active Duty United States Navy.-7 Years. I am a gamer- Whole life. I will either be your best of friends, or your worste enemy (it takes alot to get on my bad side). People usually hate me or love me, there hardly is any middle ground. But even if you punch me in the gut, ill still lend you 5 bucks if you need it. I am one hell of a builder. Hardly anyone dislikes my builds. I have extreme attention to detail, I build hugantic (yes thats a legit word) builds, I build very detailed builds. And Im very protective of my territories. Also Im a 'jerk of all trades' (as my Warrant officer likes to say).
Do you have any questions?: What Is the Airspeed velocity of an Unlaiden Swallow?
Other info: I am the one and only Lancebringer. Nicknamed Thundergod by Simply Vanilla players.
