Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I'm completely befuddled as to what might be going on. I've created a custom modpack, which I've done before (not for a few months, maybe I've forgotten some key step). I'm hosting the files on dropbox. A link to the modpack is below. Here is what happens when I install the modpack: * It installs fine, but if I look in the directories the bin directory has minecraft.jar which appears to be the vanilla jar, and a directory called jar has my custom jar in it (this is my forge jar). The modpacks I've created previously put the custom.jar file in the bin directory, it looks like. So I'm not sure what that means. * When I load it, it only loads vanilla with no mods * If I move the modpack.jar from the jar directory to the bin directory, Minecraft tries to load with the mods but then crashes after a while with a weird Mekanism error (Mekanism is one of the mods I'm using) I have the actual modpack installed on my computer and it runs fine. I experimented with putting modpack.jar in the root directory of my modpack's zip file in addition to the bin directory... doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm not sure what to try next! Or what the issue is.

I'm looking for a bit of advice as a new server operator. I created a server for myself and a friend, and would like to find a few people to share it with. I'm hoping to find like 5-10 people who would join, but I'm not sure of the best way to find a very small number of people and screen them so that I would get the type of player I'm looking for (non-trolls, basically, or people who will log on and start begging for things). I know there are forums where a server can be advertised, but I'm hesitant to do that without having some way of to be confident I'm not inviting a complete troll to the server. Just wondering if anyone has advice on how to go about this. And, any warnings or things to avoid when recruiting people? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
