    You do remember there was flooding a couple year ago that wiped out like 1/3rd the platter production capacity for like a year, right?
    Drive prices rose to meet scarcity, capacity returned then overshot, now there's probably a glut driving prices down.

    Weird. If you wait on a thread that's not showing the latest posts it will eventually display a "new replies" popup and let you see the missing posts.
     
    Between that oddness and the fact it took me 2 hours to clean out the spammers last friday because of excruciatingly slow page load times, I'm not too impressed with this forum update.

    Not entirely disappearing. Can't play when the shorty and squeaker are awake (my daughters).
     
    That said, damnitIwannabeplayingrightnow! I can pull unwavering 30FPS on low settings with DX11 in 1280x720 windowed on my 6 year radeon hd 5700. If I drop it to DX10 it frees just enough memory to do 1920x1080 full screen  low settings according to the settings dialog.
    Looking at getting an R7 260x or R9 270x to replace my video card. Both should be in my Watt budget and are 2gig cards.
    Wish I had the cash to do a real gaming rig, with an fx-8350, R9 290x, 16gig of ram, and a 256gig or bigger SSD.

    "Moved away? What do you mean?"

    ​You don't know the rocky mountain states, do you?
    I guarantee you there are atleast half a dozen idiots driving their trucks towards yellowstone right now hoping to kill off an endangered species before "them idiots in washington" impose their "liberal nazi anti-american agenda" and make it illegal. They didn't even have to load their trucks either, what with it being common to leave $5000 worth of hunting rifles in their gun racks all day every day of the year.

    So, madogdan, I have a question.
    If you're disgusted with the moderation of this forum then why are you here?
    Honest question. In the years I've been a mod here I've seen many people join with no other obvious purpose than to butt heads with moderators.
     
    Are you hoping that by taking up "the good fight" you'll cause a sudden change in the community you know little about, and gain rewards from it? Expecting the owner to finally take notice and act like you believe they should. Cleaning away the rotten filth and rewarding you and others the vacant moderation positions as a token of their gratitude.
     
    Or is this an attempt to compensate for perceived deficiencies in your real life? Take up what you see as an easy fight against the forces of oppression online as a proxy to your losing battle against unjustly oppressive parents/guardians/teachers/bosses in the real world. Use the easy wins against us criminally incompetent (and probably heavily brain damaged) moderators as a salve to sooth your bruised ego.
     
     
     
    Oh, and somewhat unrelated. Proper paragraph punctuation is not to write a single run on sentence with comas where sentence breaks should go.
    Like seating family at a table, the capital letter and period/exclamation point/question mark go at the ends to keep their little words in order. This way a casual observer doesn't mistake what little words belong to what sentence, and unruly words don't disrupt other sentences.

    Then go do it better.
     
    Seriously, the launcher is open source, the website is simple, and there are many hosting providers that are free to start with. So there is no reason for you to not prove the technic team incompetent fools by doing it better.
    Unless, of course, you're not giving a fair assessment of the situation...

    Impossible. The underlying code and method of distribution are vastly different. No console can play forge modded minecraft, which is what tekkit relies on.

    DANGEROUS VULNERABILITY IN OP'S POST! DO NOT READ
    I read the ops post and everything was fine for a couple seconds. Then I looked out the door and there was a flying shark carrying off a bus load of orphans and nuns back to its hive lair as food for its brood.
    OP's post killed a bus load of nuns and orphans, DO NOT READ IT!.

    Neowulf got a reaction from hooptiecoupe in [1.7.10] Apocalyptic Gaming Network: APOC Tech & RPG Modpack & Server - All of technic in one pack! (240 mods) | Dedicated Server | Economy/Shops/Plots/Rewards/Keys | PVP & PVE Worlds (3 Overworlds, 100+ Modded Worlds) | 10+ Custom Plugins!   
    Where? I just sat through the couple minutes of wasted time waiting for the help command cooldowns and I see no mention of any minigame plugins. And spawn has nothing about minigames.
    Not that it would matter, the server is so low pop you couldn't get a game going anyway. But as someone who has spent two weeks trying the server out, I'm going to have to stick with "It's a lie"
     
    Ooo, swing and a miss. You may be less laggy than some of the popular ag skies servers (barely), but that doesn't make you lag free. 
    One major issue is every other ag skies server bans fluids flowing into the void, but the apoc server doesn't. I asked one of the staff how they made the fluid thing a non issue and all I got was "LOL i dunno".
    Now considering every other server tracks down and bans people for a single column of water into the void, and they can do it via lag meters, it doesn't surprise me things slow down when a couple people are all on and loading 9 islands each because everything is so crowded.
    Also, worldgen isn't all lag is.
     
    So add a warning that spam bumping will become counter productive.
     
    Did I say it was a whitelist?
    What they've got there is considered a grey list. You can log on and play to a certain degree, but full 100% only unlocks when you apply. Sure the 100% is just starting kit, but it counts and is perfectly legal around here.
    You on the other hand have over 1000 bump posts thinly disguised as status updates.



    I get it, you're defensive about your servers. Granted I'm guessing because you're trying to defend a revenue stream, which is why there's a constant stream of reminders to pay you money, plus half the links in the MOTD are adfly links, but that's not against the rules here.
    But if you can't defend against a bad review without coming off as a maniac to the readers then maybe you should put someone else in charge of public relations.

    Neowulf got a reaction from Mooseman9 in Minecraft sold to Microsoft.   
    I grew up on dos. I watched as bill gates saved apple's ass during the 90's. I laughed as microsoft took a mid powered computer during the early 2000's and passed it off as a gaming console. I cursed when they bought FASA and turned both a tried and true game line and promising FPS based on interesting lore into lackluster offerings. And I saw them take a small game studio and transform their sci-fi shooter into something so compelling it turned the frat-boy crowd from diehard anti-nerd into console freaks who camp midnight launches.
    I've watched microsoft for a quarter century now. And I can tell you they do make mistakes, but a company with nearly $100billion in yearly revenue doesn't just blindly drop a couple percent of that on a property then gut it while claiming they'll make it back in a year.
    They do their research with people who have written essays about the socioeconomic effects of frogger on america. They run it past people who's whole job is to gauge market trends and warn them if their plan is so bloody stupid a 5 year old could point that out. Infact I'm guessing there's a dozen MC players out there who are still under an NDA from when they were in a focus group within the last year, who could give you a general idea of what MS plans to do with MC.


    tl;dr You may want to believe microsoft is staffed by retards with zero business sense, but that doesn't make it true.
    No one would think it's a good idea to tell their new playerbase that they can't play the game they already paid for unless they fork over a monthly fee.

    Oh the fun of riding a kinetic kill missile all the way to target. Of course it would be named Mjolnir.
