I wouldn't have resurrected this thread. It's clearly been dead long enough that the OP is unlikely to be making stuff any more.

Please see the dashboard feed from the time in question. Apparently some people are being creative when it comes to DDoS attacks on the Platform site.

That exact modpack name will not be deleted from the Platform site. Do you have something against just replacing the modpack file(s) with something else?

Did you check your junk mail/spam folder/filter? Verification emails from new sources often end up there.

That is indeed where it belongs. Moved from Cafe Lame, which is to post about regular MC.

I didn't ban him. I kept him from posting for one day. I will summarize the whole conversation, and then it's over, and we can move on. 1) A server post was made on the thread. 2) I told the poster to take the server post elsewhere, to maintain the divide between packs and servers. 3) Bizz decided to chastise me for making sure things go in their correct place, and power tripping when I wasn't. 4) I told him off for mod sass and not understanding how the forums work. This is not a wiki. 5) You and he are arguing with me in support of something I've already said is fine (putting IPs in the original post) while telling me I'm wrong for enforcing the off-topic posting rules regarding server posts in this modpack thread. I've already drawn the line (above), to keep things simple: server IPs/names in the OP fine, server posts in the thread not fine. If you like, I can move the line, again to keep things simple (and prevent people from using self-created loopholes), so server IPs may only be posted on server threads, regardless of whether they're in the pack or not. Another summary: bring up the topic again, and I'll simply ban you. If you want to argue purely because you like to be contrary, do it on your own time.

Redstone or resonant cell - they can both carry 10k RF/t max. That's unless you want to use 4 prechargers, in which case you'd need 2 cells.

If bizz wants to post a list of the servers his pack has IPs for, in his OP, that's fine, though I question why he'd want that if his purpose isn't to garner popularity. The difference is that such a server list would simply be one little bit of information (or two - server name and IP). We don't want to see server ads all over the place, though. Since the server lists are a different section of the forums, server posts in this thread are off topic, which is where the rule comes in. I was more bothered by bizz's response than to Nefzen's server post in the first place. Nefzen simply complied, politely and with understanding of the purpose of keeping things separate. Bizz decided to try to take me to task for keeping the forums organized, and he did it in such a passive-aggressive way that it demanded a response. Summary: posting names/IPs for servers that are included in the pack, and even linking to server threads if they exist - fine. Server posts/ads in the thread, regardless of whether they're from the pack author or others - not fine. Keep the voluntary work we do simpler by putting things where they're supposed to go.

Yeah, there's a reason I stick to mechanical engineering.

Issues like this belong on the Tracker, with more information than you're giving. We need, at a minimum, your OS and Java versions (the log says Windows 8.1 (x86), which is odd, because I thought Windows 8 didn't have a 32-bit version) and your system properties (how much memory you have, etc).

That's how Dad did it. That's how America does it. And it's worked out pretty well so far.

That preview looks like something that would have made my life a whole lot easier a couple weeks ago. That's all.

o.O

If you're running Windows 7, there are likely to be backups (right-click on folder, click Find Previous Versions). Otherwise, you can try getting an NBT Editor and removing the item from your inventory from outside the game. I moved this post to the correct place. Future bugs for custom modpacks such as this one go here, while bugs with the launcher itself and official modpacks go on the Tracker.

Do you not see how these two statements are in conflict? If you had been able to, you would have, since you didn't seem to have a problem arguing in the public sphere up to this point. Since you felt the need to attempt to get in one last dig, please enjoy the (short) break from posting. Oh, and go read the rules again, more carefully this time. You are welcome to use PMs over the next day, but the First Rule of Holes will, of course, apply.

Your post and thread title need a lot of work. Please read the posting guidelines if you'd like to try again.

Locking this. OP, you'll want to put up a new server post, and please read the posting guidelines first.

None of those sentences made any logical sense, except maybe the first one, which is correct. "Collective monologue" is an oxymoron. Regardless, I wasn't trying to start a dialogue. I was telling you how to operate on the forums, if you would like to remain here long-term. Your responses and the attitude behind them indicated that you might not have understood. If you are polite and respectful, you'll go a long way here. If you are arrogant and entitled, you won't.

Posting server info is precisely about garnering popularity. Why else would you make a server post? I have a private server I share with 3 or 4 regulars and a couple people that get on occasionally. I don't put up a public post about it because I don't want other people on it. Your modpack thread is also about garnering popularity, whether you wish to admit it or not. You even said it was. The Global Rules don't need edited to include a note to put threads/posts in the right place. That's common sense for forum posting. It could also be covered in the off-topic, low-effort (not bothering to locate the correct board), or Golden-Rule parts. Those other avenues you speak of, and all the quotation marks? They're not impressing anyone. Neither is the fake apology, or the fake concern for the effort we go through to keep the forums clean and easy to use. For future reference, if someone with some authority is telling you, legitimately, that's it's best to act a certain way, hinting at going over their head to do what you want anyway and being sarcastic in responses to the request is generally considered bad form.

You haven't learned much from previous posts and advice, have you?

If you'd like to see heavy-handed, power-tripping moderation, please continue with the mod sass. I'm simply enforcing the forum rules on server posting. They should have their own thread, in the right section, with the right format to the posting guidelines. All that stuff makes our lives easier, and your life on the forums longer. The place for Custom modpack servers is here, not in the modpack thread. I'd think you'd want people using your modpack to put their server ads where people will actually see them, instead of burying them in a 10-page thread. Sounds good.

You need to read the server posting guidelines. Try again.

There's a place for server posts. It isn't here.

Try adding this to your mods folder. Otherwise, we'll need the entire server log, and preferably a link to the modpack page on the Platform, for troubleshooting. Otherwise, you could always downgrade Java to 7u71, but...might as well bite the bullet and fix it with Java 8, since 7 won't be around for that much longer.

Check your spam/junk mail folder first. Then PM one of the admins or hop on the IRC channel to ask for assistance.
