  1. Great question seeing as these servers have literally 0 affiliation with reddit. https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2885-i-think-it-is-time-to-drop-the-reddit-affiliation/
  2. I don't think there should be any cardinal CTA lines it is a waste of time. My favorite CTA revision was on the map with Cracktown. Maybe because I helped build and plan it but it came late in the revision and was designed to go around builds and into certain others. There was only one line that went out from a HQ, across huge expanses of derp and some cool things, into a creepy cracktown cemetary, through verinicrons and kedemels aztec and it was really cool. The ride was curated, the tunnels were all decorated, every place over ground was part of a build or styled as such. I think we should encourage that kind of project but only once there is something to see.
  3. Look, I just think pretending to be the official server of something that you are not is kind of wannabe and pathetic. The active mods of r/minecraft don't play here or like us. No one in our community posts there and certainly not content from our servers. Some people might have come here by a link years ago but the r/mcservers ads are better. We have no affiliation with advance publications as Aeoxic said. Also the term "redditor" is basically meaningless now. When these servers started it actually was kind of a thing but now it has been diluted. The merits of that is debatable and I am sure people can exposit paragraphs on it in disagreement but that is how I see it. I will reserve making a value judgement on this. But we have something better then "Reddit" that we need to focus on and grow. Picking a name is an easy part of that and something that people can come up with better ideas if they have them. I am not in the administration of these servers in any way this is just some dudes opinion who plays here. But if we can't come to an agreement on what our name is and our focus then I don't know what to say. I disagree strongly. How are we going to advertise at all without a name? Clearly enough of us want to play multiple games that we don't need to discuss this any more enough is enough. We all agree that we need to advertise. I mean these are probably the only things people here agree on. I know what this is and this is what I mean we have that is better than reddit: a wide breadth of gaming services (game hosting, wiki, voip, forums moderation, chatrooms, subreddit...), provided for free (with actually voluntary donors), with a focus on community. On an aside the provided for free and willing donors is huge. I enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) playing a lot here and donated plenty already but like I am in a much better place and I am willing and able to contribute what I can. I know there are others out there but you know it has to be worth donating to and it has to have a focus or else I would feel like I am wasting it. This is a deeper issue then the ongoing scuffles about survival or the usual cycles of internet politics on administration. That all doesn't matter to the bigger picture. As my boss would say "we should focus on our core strengths"
  4. TLDR - Reddit isn't what it used to be and neither are these public minecraft servers. It is bad for our reputation and may be counter productive to what we want out of these servers. We don't have to get rid of the subreddit either. First off what the hell are we even called? MCPublic? Reddit Public? nerd.nu? I heard a lot that we should advertise yet we don't even have a name lol. The worst part about it is that nerd.nu is definitely the best one of the bunch and the least used. This is a star domain and it should be the name of the places. The header here should say NERD.NU MINECRAFT PUBLIC SERVERS I mean LOOK at that! It is glorious. It has the domain name to connect right in the title and it is descriptive of what we are. It also has Minecraft and public in a row so the subreddit name MCPUBLIC makes sense. At no point in this do I mean to get rid of that by the way just pivot focus. Also lets face it. Reddit sucks. Reddit is a much larger website than it used to be and is very different then when these servers were started. There used to be a real idea of "redditor" when the place was smaller. I don't know if I even considered myself one then. At the time yuo would get downvoted to hell for using racial slurs or hostile language. Needless to say this is no longer the case. Our policies are in direct conflict with the more current redditor culture. Lets think about that culture also. They are a bunch of ass holes and trolls. Exactly the kind of people we should have less of playing blocks with us. There are more people who think SJWs are a bigger problem than racists these days. Maybe I am the odd one out here but like I think the fact that this server isn't a bunch of assholes saying racist slurs and acting a fool is the only reason that I play this game and I know for a long time a lot of people agreed with that. It filters out the people who can't control themselves too, that isn't a bad thing.
  5. It was funny for a second then I told him to be quiet and he listened to me. Who cares. "Serious harassment" get a life man that is a ridiculous statement. After the shit that people say and do here Token asking people to wear a skin and your inability to deal socially with people with out having mods or admins step in is pathetic Moderators are not here to hold your hands and be big brother. For christs sake man put some perspective into what you write and don't just jump into every one of these threads hyperbolizing. No one is being driven away and we have an /ignore command. Why is it always the same set of agitators on this forum? Did you ever ask him nicely to stop? Did you ever ask jchance or anyone who is playing often with a position of authority to nicely ask him to stop? I can wager the answer is no. Instead someone made a really dumb thread about it. You people are NEVER nice to each other. Wow I agree with gsand about something This whole thread is a disaster.
