Thankyou very much for your interest- I'd be more than willing to accept your application except for the concern of timing. I need staff to be available often. If your circumstances change and you have more free time please let me know and I'll reconsider. Thankyou again.

At the end of this month I'll have access to decent server equipment and very good internet (up to 22mbps), hosted in Sweden (I'm in Australia). I've owner several servers before, but due to my schooling was unable to continue them. Now that I've graduated and have alot of spare time, I want to give hosting another shot. But I don't want to do it half assed. If you've skipped to the bottom to find out where to 'apply', then clearly you're not in for the long haul. I need people that are willing to put in some effort to make a decent server. Throughout the waiting time (until the server becomes available) I'm going to be coding a forum/website, in which the staff (myself included) can put forward their ideas on the server's plugins and build. I'm completely open to everything- from banned items to the name. At this point, I've nicknamed the project 'Ortaigo', which could, in my eyes, be the name of the 'country' that the world is founded on. Now, to the joining. I'm looking for 3-4 Administrators and 3-4 Moderators. Administrators I want (again, open to changes later on) to be responsible for the website and server as a whole. I don't like going onto a server and asking the Admin a question, and be given "I don't know"s and "you'll have to ask the owner." I need people that are competent and know as much- if not, more- than me. Every Admin will have as much power as me (excluding server access- perhaps later, maybe, but allowing admins to access the console hasn't worked in the past). They should know the rules by heart- having made some of them themselves. They should know their way around the map like the back of their hand- having built it themselves. I need people willing to put in effort, basically. Moderators, I want to be responsible for in game, basic issues. Simple questions that are asked by the players like "what's the command for __" or "where do I go for__" should be answered by Moderators. Moderators also (as namesake) moderate the chat- ensure a friendly environment. I think that's it. I don't ask for applications to be filled, but if you're interested in a position, please PM me with an explanation to as to why you think you'd be able to contribute. I'm not interested in how many server's you've been an Admin to. I encourage people from every time zone to apply. Thankyou for reading this far.

I wasn't even aware I had a signature; I joined to post this..

Hi. I'm opening a server soon (advertising) but first I want to pick out whatever problems I might run into in the hopefully-not-near future. Having had the server open to my old players from my last server only, I've run into a slight problem with lag. Most of this is due to factories, and no amount of "text warned control" (putting warnings in spawn, having rules over the control of factories) has helped at all. I'm not very good with computers, but I've upgraded my RAM to 16GB, 13 for the server, and this problem has been lessoned, but not stopped. Do I have to restrict factories to the point of no return, or is there another method of control? A plugin I have (tekkitrestrict) has a minimum for timers, but that does not help with transport pipes and engines, and it would also annoy players. My aim for the server is to have few banned items, excluding the exploit/bugged items. Any suggestions for that? I expect sometime while I have the server open that people would *try* to annoy me by placing a bunch of .2s timers and lagging it extremely. If this were to happen, is there a method to find the lag-source and stop it? Or do I have to rely on the lagged chunk or server logs of the use of wrenches to find it? Any advice, or other things I should look out for would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, Obbiscuit. TL;DR: How do I stop people from building lagful factories, and how would I locate the lag source if necessary?
