I agree with Xylord. If people don't want it they won't vote for it. One of the examples you put up there (TerraFirmaCraft) is actually quite useful. TFC is a complete overhaul of Minecraft and getting any mods (even NEI and InvTweeks) can take some work. Just because a modpack only has one or two mods doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of work.

Why not make your own then? That is the beauty of the Platform.

...That is amazing. Is that based off a specific picture?

Check your spam folder. That is where mine went.

The mayans were only a few months off! The end is nigh!!

I was dumb and did bad stuff My other one came from a Whaleboxed thread about someone who accused me of hacking his profile. Also I am apparently a Viking.

What do you mean when you say Skyblock? AFAIK, that was just a map that was suspended above the void... No mods needed. Unless you are thinking of FTB which is basically a modpack designed for a very specific progression on a specific map.

See that blue name? That means freakachu is a moderator... He actually has the power to make you both unseen and unheard. I have not seen a single person (other than you) that has blamed a bad servers... badness... on the devs of the pack. That is how things work, if you don't like them, leave and don't associate with them. The game is not getting a bad rap because of a few servers that are bad.

There have been a few of use "Helens" FYI. You do realise that everyone has been telling you to get on a new server from the very beginning right? No one has had any new ideas since the first few posts.

...The Admins get to decide how much involvement they have. Just because you think they should be responsible doesn't mean it is their responsibility to do so. How do you propose the admins should fix this issue? I am asking because I want to know what you want done (and also I need a bit of cheering up). I also want to know why your posts are so difficult to read... at first they seem quite well put together (grammatically speaking) but when you try to read them they make almost no sense. (You first sentence in you last post for instance...)

So that person would be the owner of the shovel which, according to this mutilated analogy, is the server owner. So there you go... Go cry to them.

I can't believe you haven't gotten the point. the Tekkit team has zero control over servers, their owners, admins, players, NPC's, etc. The issues you are describing are not issues with the game, but issues with the people playing. Go call God and file a bug report.

What bit version of Java are you using?

OP: without an error log we can't be of much help. madhouse: The Admins and mods don't take kindly to distributing their files (especially when they are cracked). Also putting your e-mail out in the open like that will lead to a good deal of spam... In addition, I would probably avoid that download link...

You should only have one version of Java (uninstall Java 6). Also, Norton is notorious for interfering with the download so try turning that off while you download the pack.

If that doesn't work, update your Java and disable Norton, then redownload the launcher.

OP: Have you tried turning off AVG? That is usually the issue. Sometimes you may need to actually uninstall AVG and download the pack (you can reinstall after the download). I would also recommend getting a free (and IMO better) AV like Avast! or Microsoft Security essentials. Skateboarder_H and JuiceBoxFox: Have you looked at the sticky that deals with Macs? Have you tried posting a bug report? If not I would suggest you do those (in that order)

If you are having a similar issue, I would suggest making a new thread with the appropriate info in the correct section.

What is stopping you from installing mods on it? I was able to do that (on a PC though so that may be the issue) manually on a school computer.

Above: Very applicable.

Seems legit. I want to know though... Was the CIA responsible for the OP getting changed!? They are trying to pin it on Olloth! Someone call somebody and get this out there! This is censorship!

You are discussing with purposely misleading and out of context "facts". The issue that is inherent in your idea is that you have taken a position and then attempted to find the outlying points that support that position. This is the opposite of how most people operate. What you should do is look at all the facts (even the outlying ones that may not support the general consensus) and then form an opinion. So far all of the "sources" you have cited have been from quack sites that exist to prey on the closed minded. I would argue that the story is more believable if it does have inaccuracies, it would be suspicious if there was nothing out of the ordinary. You mentioned that you thought people who "call ... bullshit before ever spending 1 minute with getting information" were stupid, but what about the people who spend way too much time gathering "facts" but only ever look at one side of the story?

Did you read the relevant section or watch the videos?
