Hey canvox, I sent you an email on this, but i wanted to claify publicy on this matter too. I didnt think i was going above his head, he said i need to gain permission. So, i asked the admins, (you) to have permission. Also, as i mentioned in the email. Im not monetizeing of any youtube videos or links. The link that goes to my website IF they decide to click on it, provided the download link FROM THE MOD MAKER (not me) since i support the mod maker, i dont change his adfly, or mediafire or whatever it is. i jsut copy and paste from his website, forum page, or whever else i found him at. I just take his information and streamline it better. Thats all. The Youtube video is from a random youtuber i find while researching the mod (NOT ME or anything affilated with me.) Though, it would be nice to break even with my website costs. I put these reviews together for the beneifit of mod makers , server owners and custom modpack makers. In the hopes they may be able to find something they've never found before. Thats the only reason. Im parterned up and have permission on 4 other forum sites already. i wanted to bring them here to devlop conervsations here. on your forums and help generate interest in Mods that arent used much in mod packs. thats it. yes, its nice to grow my own fanbase as well, but, we do something entirely diffrent on out site,my website is for helping to plan and host lets plays and live shows on various servers. the reivews i post ONLY on other forums to have conversations there about. I just wanted to publicly clairfy my position on the matter since im a big FAN of technic and always support and help out in any way i can. i stay fairly regular here. sometimes helping server owners with issues. thats all the review was meant to be.. fun, and enjoyable for people to learn new things in the MC community.

just one thing to note about what you said, did you click on the links? seems to me you didnt. cause the dont go to a reivew. they go to a forum that offers the download links and a youtube video about the mod or map. the reivew is posted here. not there. I started doing it in this way, so that reveiw would be simple. and uncluttered. and so that i would not break rules on the various forums i vist. mainly, the links back to my forum post provides basic info like: download links or youtube videos, or other basic information or about the map or mod. but, if you ACTAULLY clicked on them... you'd see they dont go to a reveiw. that review.. is read right here. by your readers. not mine. check out my website, you'll see i dont post this review anywhere on my site. theres a reason for that. Because for moments just like this.. when you say im triing to steal people, or shamelessy post links to get people to leave here and come to my site.... nope. i want to start the discussion about these things here. and i want to help server owners and custom pack makers be able notice these really good maps, mods and server tools that they may not have otherwise found. thats the sole reason for posting. Im offended at your notion of me saying im doing this to steal members.

oh? im very sorry to have upset you. who do i ask? i have been posting them here for a few months now on a bi-weekly basis and your the first to say anything. if it's not allowed, why did you not delete the thread? Am i breaking an advertisement law? I wont lie, yes i do want to continue growing my fanbase and gaining subscribers who are interested in what we offer. but, theres a HUUUUGE diffrence between this forum and mine. 1) ONLY WEBSITE STAFF CAN START Threads..(well.. in atleast 80% of the forum anyway, the other is for the community to discuss our custom server.) 2) we DONT speacilize in TECHNIC. Meaning.. why would anyone leave you to come to me? Its def. not the intent to Steal, or tell people to STOP discussing things ehre. thats a big reason i post this here and on other forums INSTEAD of on my own. cause i want to have the discussions here. to talk to a larger audience. and to help keep the forums active here. if people want to read my reivew, they need to come here. the links are not the reivews, there just basic information on how to get the mod, map or other things. It was certainly not my intent to offend you. to be honest, when i edited out the server review, i was a little upset because EVERY FORUM i go to.. as rules AGAINST talking about servers. either good or bad. Why you would be concered about me Stealing 'customers' or taking people away from this forum is beyond my understanding. that would be like an elephant, being afraid of an ant. It makes no sense. what i offier, is NOT what you offer. its something totally diffrent. so i really dont see how people would leave here to come to me, or why you would be afraid of loseing a fanbase.

Based on community feed back... we'll be updaing the mod pack this month to remove some things and add some things. you can keep up with the mod pack changes here: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/horizoncity namely, were changeing the gravestones mod, and adding the archemeides ships mod. though, there will be some config. adjustments to make it a bit more challenging to create the ships. mainly, we want to encourage people to use them more as boats. not aircrafts.

Server stays pretty quite, its kinda an anarchy server. Our staff really don't get in the way of what your doing. We will be chaning the mod pack soon...ish. sometime around janary. Its looking like the community POLL is voting to add achemeides ships, and change our gave mod to something else,.. we'll also be replacing explorecraft with atlas mod, since most people are find exporeercraft to be too complicated to want to mess with. Its def. come a long way from initial beta testing. the one issue we found recent, is that for some reason, placing maps on walls, will crash some people.. but not everyone. I had a cool map room. I had to remove the warp and remove the map area, cause it was causeing some staff members to crash as soon as they went in that area. I noticed too that it would cause small lag when I looked in the direction of the map room. Very odd. the rendering of maps on walls. is...well...? laggy. so, we've had to remove that. im hoping to work on adding a basic mob fighting arena like we used to have in our hexxit server sometime in febuary. Right now, im working on a 1.8 adventure map messing around with a lot of the new coding they've added to command blocks. Its pretty exciting, im hoping to release the first chapter of the game sometime at the end of December.

THe HorizonCity ReviewNovember 24th, 2014 ------------------------- Sorry guys, admins feel im adveristing by posting the reivews. It was meant to be fun and entertaining. and to help new (or old) server owners and modpack makers perhaps learn about a new mod or plugin they've never heard of. but, the admins feel im advertiseing and have decided not to give permission. so, i wont be able to post them here any longer. You can always PM me and i can maybe recommend a good mod or server plugin to help meet your needs. I always love helping modpack makers find new mods to meet the 'goal' of there mod pack. just to clarify, there is a diffrence between spamm advertiseing, and 'advertiseing' that brings something to the table. the review is an advertisement or an endorsement .. this is true. but its not an advertisement of MY website. Its an advertisement for the mod maker, the youtuber, the plugin devloper, the server owner (who im not affilated with) they have nothing to do with me. the website link simply streamlined the reivew to clear up 'clutter' download links, youtube vids, known bugs, orgainl forum post, or website, block, mob, items, other information about the mod.. thats all the link was meant to provide.

We finally got the issues with lag cleared away. It turned out to be an ITEM ID conflict issue. were also now using a custom Map for the Exploration PVP world. You can find information about the map at: LINK Also, we have a Speacile Poll going on concerning the future of the mod pack. were looking to change some aspects about our community mod pack. Feel free to put in your vote and let us know how you would like us to make the mod pack to work better for you

im pretty proud of how this review came out. Its the 1st time I tried to center it around a theme. I hope to try to keep planning themes for them in the future. If you have any sugjestions on themes you'd like to see for future News Letters let me know sorry for getting this here so late in the week guys. Its been a busy week working to make a lot of changes on a small custom mod pack and server I run

The HorizonCity Review November 10th, 2014 The Furniture Edition! ------------------------- Server Spotlight: due to forum policies, to see this part of the review, you will need to PM me. ------------------------- Mod Spotlight: Mr. Crayfish's Furniture Mod.

Both these maps are good maps to download and check out to get first hand building ideas. both are layed out in a really nice way. the first by the defroi is one of the best furniture maps i was able to find.

But, this plugin will allow you to add some of the maps mentioned above onto your server easily, so that you can easily explore it them with freinds to get ideas on how to improve your minecraft building skills. Its really a very simple multiworld plugin. It dosnt offer all the great features that make Multiverse so wonderful. But, its ease of use and simplicity in commands makes it a good choice for anyone jsut starting out with makeing a server. You can create adventure worlds, creative only worlds, rescource worlds and so on... There really are many great uses for a plugin like this, which is why it is really an essential plugin for any server owner to grab ------------------------- Youtuber Spotlight: Furniture Tips and Tricks By: Minecraft Furniture team This is a great video from the community mentioned above.

Hey everyone, This coming Monday were going to be Hosting a LIve show on our server using the Featured Map. Vechs Super hostile Series SEA of Flames Map. Yup! .. You get to watch me and whoever joins me .. die.. a lot .. Come watch the action Monday at 6pm(central.. ruffly.. aprx. time) at www.twitch.tv/hooptiecoupe Or, you can join in on the fun by getting whitelisted before Monday and be a participant in the the live show

Funny, :/ im reading this posts. cause im curious to keep with phoenix here and there to see how he's coming along. This argument is very similar to one I had with him a while back on his Hexxit server I belvie? I asked him where his Minigames were, since he advertised in his hexxit forum page that he has mini games. He got very defensive then about it too. one plus, it seems that his website as improved greatly. He's no using the enjin mechanics. which seems to be helping him out a lot with the community side of things. Before, his website was very Difficult to navigate or understand, and every 2 clicks it would take you to an adlfly page or something like that. very annoying. His website dosnt apper to be having those issues anymore. So, he's improving a lot! but, I had the same questions... where are the mini games at? The problem is that Phoneix appers to use the Same General .JPG ad on all his forum posts. Implying he HAS the same setup on ALL his servers. It would help a lot Phoneix, if you personally made an .JPG ad for EACH server you run. with information specific to THAT server. That would probably keep a lot of people from complaining saying you lied.. or falsified information. The other thing is. EPICNESS.. I recall getting on your hexxit server. The Spawn is IMPRESSIVE. LARGE... MASSIVE. but.. Hexxit is not. Hexxit as become a niche Mod pack. Not many server exist for it. and the ones that do, don't get many people on per day. I've noticed that even your hexxit server is suffering a large loss in players. I would highly recommend Making the Spawn Smaller and more specifc to the feel of the hexxit mod pack. allowing people to easily get out and explore instead of getting awh struck by the SIZE of your hexxit spawn. Mind you, I haven't been on you hexxit server in about..? ... I think 3 months. So it may have changed. I dunno. How is your Custom Hexxit Mod Pack coming along by the way? I recall you saying you were working on one. but never got an answer back about where to download it at? or what the server IP would be to join?

Hey everyone, getting this out a little late over here. Its been a busy week for me with work and family. I feel I have a good list of MC related places to check out this week for ya though. Comments and feedback are always appreciated! The HorizonCity Reivew 10/27/14 ------------------------------------------------ Server Spotlight: Edited out.by: Hooptiecoupe -due to forum policies, to see this part of the review, you will need to PM me. ----------------------------------------------- Mod Spotlight: Invasion Mod LINK This mod is still a work in progress. But, it can be crazy fun fending of the Hordes of attackers that come at you in Singelplayer Mode. Your goal is to build the NEXUS and then protect it from the onslaught of hordes. Your Reward for keeping the NExus alive? Rift Flux, which you can use to craft a few better weapons to continue fighting of the crazy amount of hordes that start comeing at you. All set at killing you .. and then your precious Nexus. --------------------------------------------------------- Map Spotlight: Adventure Multiplex By: Jigarbov LINK This is an older map, best played on 1.6.4 Its been tested on 1.7.2 and works okay. excapt spawnpoints wont activate if you play on higher versions. This Map Was put together By Jigarbov, but composed of 100's of indivual MINI-adventures there were created and submitted to Jigarbov from 100's of diffrent builders. hours upon hours of gameplay. Your sure to go into creative mod a few times jsut out of shear frustration. Its hard to truly describe the scope of this map in words. Its something you really have to see and play on to beleive. But,...it'll be worth your time. ----------------------------------------- Wesite Spotlight: Project Wonderful LINK Looking for a good way to Advertise your server or MC website? DOnt have much income? Why not try Project Wonderful. Its a easy and free to start useing there service to advertise. you can setup campagins to help generate traffic flow to your website or server site with as little as $5 dollars. ------------------------------------------------- Server Plugin Spotlight: Essentials Plugins LINK Theres a lot of Essentials Plugins immitators on bukkit, or addons to sift thru. but this is the orginal. It adds 100's of commands for ADMIN/OP's to use or give to players thru PEX or someother permissions system. Sethome, teleport, warp command or warp signs, cahnge the weather, wear a hat, add a nickname, create a jail for players that break rules, give XP, money ,items, heal thine self, repair tools, the list goes on. Its really almost insane. Why add 10-20 various plugins, when you can jsut add this 1 plugin to suit your servers needs? It really is the essential plugin for any starting server. ---------------------------------------------- Youtuber Spotlight: MotionMiracles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qocZs9VA42Q Time for some more fun animation videos! This as only made 2 animation videos, but... if you'd like to see more from him, show em some love, give em some likes, and comment on his videos asking for more animation mini-movies, Be sure to let em know i sent you ---------------------------------------------------------------- got a mod, map, server or youtuber you'd like me to help spotlight? Send me an email at: [email protected]

we had some minor issues with Lag at spawn due to our admin hangout being deep below ground @ spawn. too many items being used.. caused lag. we managed to Fix that. Im also in the process of adding PLOTS that people can buy at /warp plots1 on the spawn world. This is a fully protected area where you can build safely. However, All the actin happens in the /warp world and everyone is encouraged to go there instead. The Nether and Twitlight portals only work on the main world. We've also started a new thing were weill be hosting Lets plays on a Speacile Map uploaded just to record it. THis month, its the SUPER HOSTILE SEA OF FLAMES V.2 Map. Crazy fun. We'll be planning the first Community Lets play soon on with it. Keep an eye on the calendar on our home page. and sign up to be able to join in on the fun and be involved in the Youtube recording The Servers really starting to take off I've tried hard to make this server more inline with vanilla, or realistic as possible. So.. the economy ...no admin shops.. its up to you.. make a shop.. buy/sell.. its up to you to earn the income. I only provide you with 6 admin signs to help you out. Bread, cooked fish, Stone Bricks, Cooked Meat, Iron, and of course.. LOGS.. That's all you got to make money of me with. The rest is up to you. I also just finished the Jail system. SO fun.. You'll be hard pressed to break the rules and get in there. .but if you do. Its cool. your own island... your own cell. your own playground. I hope you don't join just to get into our prison though. you experience with the mods and server will be very limited.

Hey everyone, its that time of the month again. My team as been busy trolling all over the internet to bring the best of minecraft right to your door.... ------------------------------------- HC REVIEW - 10/13/14 -------------------------------------- Mod Spotlight: Gravestone Mod By: Subaraki LINK This mod is great for SP or SMP modes. IF you die, your loot will get saved in a really nice gravestone, and a beam of light will shine up to the sky to allow you to find it easily. If you on a server, the gravestone can only be destoryed by the person who died, and if another player LOOTS it, they can ONLY TAKE 1 Item. I think thats the coolest thing about this mod, really makes you have to decide, what you LOOT from the player your killed. So far, no bugs or issues exist with the mod on servers. Another neat thing about this mod is that server owners can choose to let players customize what gravestone will spawn when they die, or they can choose to make it so that certain gravestones will apper if the player dies at a certain XP level. meaning, the higher there XP. The More EPIC the Gravestone! Def. a great mod to check out. --------------------------------------------- Map Spotlight: The Little Clay Box By: Reather LINK This is a fun litte map, it'll take youe 15-30 minutes to play thru it. It uses a lot of the new commands added since 1.8.0 Whats really fun about this map is that it can confuse the heck out out of you. Some things seem really easy. and other times, you wondering what you did that solved it. All you know is somehow, this box seems way bigger on the inside... -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Server Plugin Spotlight: Gringots Plugin By: ebenwert LINK Gringotts is an item-based economy (currency) plugin for the Bukkit Minecraft server platform. Unlike earlier economy plugins, all currency value and money transactions are based on actual items in Minecraft, per default emeralds. The goals are to add a greater level of immersion, a generally more Minecraft-like feeling, and in the case of a PvP environment, making the currency itself vulnerable to raiding. If you put down a chest and place a sign on it with the words : [VAULT] (case sensitive) you'll be able to store your money to use on the server, without the need to have the physical money in your inventory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Youtuber Spotlight: dillongoo LINK This guy puts together some pretty great Youtube CG animated short films. A lot of his minecraft work is from 2 years ago. he recently put out a new animated short for MC. but, he really hasnt been posting anything in a while. Feel free to send em some feedback, let em know i sent ya, and tell em you'ld like to see more work from him. Perhaps him might create a few more animated shorts just cause you asked Either way, there really good work and fun to watch. ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading, Hope your all having a great weekend. Im enjoying the cold weather that is rolling In where I live. Feeeeeeeelllllls Great!

the other issue is ever since that DCMA was sent out to anyone using the bukkit api... MCPC+ and Cauldron have both been shut down. Basically, (as far as I can find) theres now cross compatibility know for for server wanting to run mods and plugins. Its either MODS, or you run PLUGINS but, if you run a modded server, you need protections...but...there currently on Protection mods..soooooo leaves a lot of us on Technic who want to open up a server.. up a paddle.. or forced to go to server hosts that will still offer or have Cauldron for 1.7.10 or MCPC+ . I know theres a few host services out there that will open a server up with cauldron or MCPC+ pre-installed for you. but Im not sure on the legality of that. since no one is supposed to be distributing those API's anymore? It may land you in a lot of HOT WATER down the road. Sucks.

Also, I can tell you that as our community grew and we attracted a larger pool of loyal players, many of those long time players would ask me repeadtly to add a few more rules... like respect staff or something... after 2 months of discussions, voting, and polls. we finally landed on 5 simple rules that everyone would be happy with , but wouldn't restrict the players from enjoying the server.. I would recommend adding rules similar to these atleast... 1) no spamming chat with anything. - You'd be surprised how many people will leave your server when you don't have rules against this. since, if you ban someone for spamming, and you have no rules against it.. you are falsely banning them. and basically making this an UNSAID rule. People will get banned for doing things..that your not saying theres rules against...they will reply to this forum saying the server owner lies, they ban you for anything.. ect ect... (This is one of the most common rules that all servers use) 2) No greifing in the spawn area. (there are ways to exploit or bypass protections sometimes, and if you make no rule against it, then ban someone from greifing at spawn.. tech..you had no right to ban them) 3) Repsect Staff Members. ( generally speaking, if staff aren't respected,...IE trieing to build something or work on something, and players are harassing them in chat or by getting in there way..... it can lead to a lot of banning and upset players that will complain to you and tell everyone that the server is horrible due to staff) 4) Do not Harrass Other Players. ( if they ask you leave them alone, do so) - this is a general rule on most servers. 5) No Spawn Killing ( this is a common rule on most servrers, though, we don't have this on ours. If you set up your protections right, you don't need to add this rule.) 6) Genearlly speaking, all players prefer to have some form of protection so they can build, and come back atleast with a 50% prob. there there build will still be there. I recommend use factions or "grefprevention" plugins as there easy to setup and adjust. and allow you also to protect your server spawn area.

Generally speaking, all servers need rules. even if its just as simple as NO greifingspawn, -or- No spawn killing. otherwise, people will spam chat, hack, spawn kill, ...if you allow people to do as they please, ....your only inviteing the greifers and hackers to join your server. You likely wont get any longtime loyal players that will donate or support as they'll move onto servers that have rules to protect players plots.. or give them some what of a safe place to store there loot or build. I used to run a HEXXIT server, that only had 2 rules. very simple and easy to abide by...because of atleast having those 2 rules. I was able to gain a loyal fan base of players who still hangout and play on our community. and its been over a year since we opened. If you want to be sucsessful in running a server, I would highly recommend adding atelast 1 or 2 rules. for people to abide by. But, then again.. .. its an interesting concept. I not aware of any servers that have no rules at all. and allow anything. Im very curious to see how your server will turn out ... Good luck to you

The HorizonCity Review September 15,2014 Server Spotlight: website:dragonslure.enjin.com IP Address: hexxit.dragonslure.com:25765 The Hexxit Mod pack is still alive and kicking! DragonsLure is a Work In progress server.With only a few simple rules, a Beautiful SPAWN area. ITs def worth spending some time on. I love that the spawn seems to fit the size of the server well, its easy to get out and start exploreing. Though, it would be good if they added a Random Teleport Plugin, or a warp that will teleport you far away to build/mine.. its nice to just start out and go exploreing.

We have a winner! for the August 2014 prize giveaway of $25 dollars. one of our staff members EnderHunter267 won the prize! This was our first prize giveaway and it was done mainly for our staff and long time members who have stuck with us since our grand opening on august 16th 2013. we've now been open a full year! its pretty exciting, I would like to do the giveaway again. but this time, im opening up to anyone who submits a server review or mod review on our listing. all you have to do is enter 4 server reviews (25 points per server review) or a few mod reviews (10 points per review) save up your points, and use em to get a ticket for the giveaway. go to hooptiesworld.enjin.com to submit a server review. the Giveaway will be held on October 2,2014 live @ twitch.tv/hooptiecoupe the winner will then have 72 hours to contact me thru email or we'll run the randomizer machine again until we find a winner I might be able to host larger Cash giveaways for the community if we can get enough fanfare going with it. Its my hopes that it can be a way to generate some revenue to support technic, mod makers, map makers, and bukkit plugin developers. feel free to pass this info along to anyone else who wants to get in on the action. I plan to do this every 2 months for now.( but at some point, ill do it every month as well)

Hey Guys! Im sorry I've been abscent for a while. but, I've been working very hard on updateing and improving how our server reviews are done. I've personally met with and talked to A LOT of server owners to get there opnnion on what makes and what DOSNT make a good server. I feel im finally ready to officaly go public! http://hooptiesworld.enjin.com/ssr what is it? A simple Server Review that ANYONE can fill out. (its still in testing though, so your comments and thoughts are very important) once submitted, staff will review and verify that the information is correct before submitting to our forum list. meaning, I can give you 100% guarantee that the information is not OWNER BYASS. (meaning, and owner cant say " we have SPLEEF!".. then you join expacting games, only find out, they DONT have SPLEEF..yet.. but they PLLLLAAAAN to add it in about 3 months....) or you get on, only to find out your banned cause they didn't tell you the rules anywhere, and you didn't know how to find the rules. our server review will be clearly filled out with ALL the information needed for you to discover that server! also, the TITLE of the thread will give you quick easy information... Server - Owner - Style of server - RANK - (if its whitelisted or closed, it will say it here) The Rank goes from A-F. A is considered a Staff Pick. F ... well. you know. you will likely be trolled, harassed or banned in about 5 minutes after joining. Ranks are given to a server from Staff only. based on overall reviews assessment. No more VOTEING to get to the TOP of our lists. NO more BUYING TOP SLOTS to get all the player to join your server, to get more votes.. to stay on top. when your a BAD server. Period! I'd love to get ya'll sugjestions and feedback on this. This is something we've been doing privately for a little while having a lot of fun with. helping to advertise get support for good servers, and helping bad servers see where there lacking and where they should improve if they want more players. or, what player base they need to advertise to to get more players.(some like those kind of servers...) Its something im def. really excited about, and hope you will be too. Im doing this cause im tired of sifting thru forum threads that haven't been updated in 6 months, or the information is outdated, and the owner wont update. on our sites, if you see information that is out dated, simply submit a server update application and the information will be verified for acuracy and updated as needed by staff.(Server owners are NOT allowed to update or create there own server threads...staff only) There will also be Prize giveaways every 2 months (for now,.. eventually, ill do it every month) which you will be able to buy a ticket for with earned up points for submitting reviews. 4 APPROVED reviews = 1 Ticket in our Prize Giveaways. Its a small way I'd like to be able to pay back both my staff and you for helping us all to find great servers to check out/ endorse/ support and play on. That's just a sampling of what we've been doing. But, we def. still have a long way to go yet. I really cant wait to see where this will go!

hey everyone. our community as started to go public with the server listing section of our website. www.hooptiesworld.enjin.com this wont be a vote site. But, instead will be a Real player review of servers. Ive put together a format to help understand what a server offers in simple to understand way.as reviews come in. you'll be able to compare them, and find awesome technic server to hang out at the fit what your looking for. you'll also be able to a part of a larger community of gamers that can help you out on those servers..join you.. advernture.. explore. Do you want a server that allows greifing, pvp, pve, creative? that's really what this listing is going to be about. to help the community at large decide a lot easier if a serer is right for them. No more wasteing your free time on a server only to find out the admmins love to troll hard, and you don't like that. But if you do.. awesome.. that's the server for you. and now you easily found it Ive got a few people already started on our review team. but, im looking for more people willing to help with reviewing the thousands of servers out there and give honest oppnions on them. nothing is posted on our server review list until it approved by an admin and then the co-owners. so this will be verified.. great servers to hang out on. with good staff and owners. no more joining a server only to find out the owner as banned almost everything UNLESS you donate. you'll know be able to find a support serverowners that are truly trieing to raise the bar on what a server should be. but I need your help to to find explore and submit reviews. I plan to do prizes, giveaways and other things for our review team to enter in on with points they earn per approved reviww submissions. Its really the ground floor of something bigger that im excited to do. I think it will really help to compliment this forum and other launcher forums. as it evolves, the goal is to make it something like a BBB or yellow pages of MC servers. Im really excited about this venture. Its something that's (as far as i can find)never really been done on any website before. all the server list sites out there are vote to get to top.. or pay for top spot. my server listing will be purely player reviews. Sorta like the BBB of Minecraft servers. simple as that. you'll be able to read reports on a server from real gamers. and compare and decide if that server is right for you. Im really looking forward to seeing how this grows! right now, we've already been able to post one review on a bteam serve called nemalands. they've already been able to get a few more players to there server based on that review.Im excited to see what I can do for those other startup servers that need players.. but don't have a current base.. and cant get the votes to get off the 32 page of some vote server list site. or perhaps they just cant make a good thread post, so people don't join them. yet there a great server to join.

Extra Utilites adds a very nice "VOID" dimension. plus, theres another add-on by that same developer that adds a scary 'VOID MONSTER' if in the overworld, when you mine deep, you will always here him. and it scares the CRAP out of you. but, hides BELOW the berock layer. But, if you go to the VOID WORLD... he is there. and he is scarier than the Slenderman mod. its add some nice fun

sorry man, wasn't didn't realize that my post was classified as advertiseing to you. I was simply tireing to give you some more info to help you get more players for your server.
