Hiya, its quicksliver here again, and I'd like to thank Cylek for helping me out, I can log in fine now, and Enginekid helped me get my items back. Thanks for the for the help! When I first came to the server, i had never played Tekkit before, and I was pretty apprehensive... I always thought that i liked the more vanilla-y Minecraft, as I have spent months perfecting my own Minecraft server. But when I came to this server, the admins helped me from the start, taught me how to begin playing, and referred me to helpful sites, such as the Tekkit wiki, and I really came to like Tekkit. A few days after I started I decided to look into other servers, trying to keep my eyes open... But after going to around 16 other servers i realized that the first one, Ethereal was by far the best. The admins on other servers were abusive and un-helpful, and on one particularly bad server when I logged in the admins were spawning Enderdragons and Nukes, and using Redmatter swords on everyone when they spawned... nobody even had a chance to walk more than 200 feet from the spawn point. So I came back to Ethereal, and have been playing here off and on for about the past month. I've come to be freinds wit hmost of the admins (I hope? lol), and I love helping other people get started as I still have the feeling... Just yesterday I was asking how to start up a quarry and I was feeling stupid for hours before i realized I hadn't done /trust [buildcraft] I've had a great time so far, helping people like currystain (applied for member on page 148) get started, and learning the particulars of Tekkit myself. As I mentioned above, I used to run a Minecraft server for a few months(I haven't gone back to it since I started Tekkit xD), and I already have experience with Bukkit, plugins, and admining on servers. I was hoping that the great admins here would at least consider letting me try out Trainee, even if I don't have any extra permissions, even if just so new players can know that I'm more trustworthy and can help them learn how to play. I play on donating at the earliest opportunity, as I'm getting a job soon(less than 2 months hopefully), and then I'll have an amount of income that I can spend on worthy causes like this wonderful server.
Also, I as well know about servers not working as well after a few hours, based on my experience with my 42 plugin Bukkit server, and I could suggest some great Restart plugins if you'd like. I tried a few and finally settled on one that worked great for me, with configurable restarts and messages, as well as automatic restarts when ram is low.
I hope to hear back from ya'll!
Greetings from Texas, quicksliver98, out.
