Wow, Thodiral is rich, and the new spawn town is looking GLORIOUS. I hope Thod doesn't turn into Notch 2.0 and use these thousands of dollars he has made from the server on vacations.
Oh..
my..
God..
After this new minecraft update, the server has been GODLY. completely stable and lag-free LEGITIMATE playing. With barely any griefers!
Every SINGLE server crashes. Why? Because it's the minecraft game which is in ALPHA stage that causes it to be unstable. We, according to 80% of the minecraft community, are the best server on the server list. Why? Because we have the least lag, and most staff support out of all other servers.
True.

I'm not LAZY, just because i'm afk in minecraft doesn't mean anything. Every single second where I am home I am working on the server. I bust my ass to try my best to keep it up, I try my best to cater to the community and make them feel at home, and everyday I invest in upgrading the server to make it a better and more richer gameplay feeling.
Also true.

Every single other server crashes very often, what does the average admin do? "hurr durr wat do?". I, on the other hand, am quite familiar with every possible solution to every problem that SIN Gaming could encounter.
AND true.
Love you, Thod. Love your server, I wish it the best.
Admin - Thod is an alright guy, keeps this server running smooth when hes on and paying attention, doesnt hide the fact that he spends donations on personal uses.
Mods - You hear people complain about iron-fisted mods who ruin fun for everyone right? Well this server doesnt have them, it has incredibly weak mods who can watch someone grief and say "well... dont do it again okay?". Even though they have a ban appeal area on their forums for mistakes, they still are too afraid to make one so they dont ban anyone unless they dont recognize their name.
Grief!? - Theres quite a bit of grief, even coming from vet members / "donators" but theyre priveleged enough to not get banned. At times they put their own interest at heart and will ruin peoples stuff in a group just for the lulz
Stability - Pretty stable server, there are times when the admin doesnt get on for a while so theres no one to restart it and clear up lag
Overall - Pretty good server (relatively), if you have a friend or two you want to play with id bring them here and go off into the distance and play. Needs new mods / admins who arent afraid to ban like Andrew_gill. Also needs to stop treating donators like priveleged people. Admins need to realize that just because someone spent $5 doesnt mean they wont grief, hell they might just do it so they can grief and still stick around
Verified that all these one-post accounts are filed under the same IP address as the OP. Please quit it.
And other users, don't make a page of just insulting this guy. Just take your mild disrespect and keep it to yourself.
Hello, mister mod! :ohmy.gif:
I'm glad you took the time to view the IP address of the accounts. I feel flattered.
Although this is true, it seemed to have been quite efficient in getting me 1,500 members over a month.
Fair enough, i'll just tell the members to post.
Also, in reply to the person above me.
You seem to be quite misled, in vent we coordinate not to grief, but to tactically destroy buildings that are not permitted to be there because they are creative 2.0.
I am not saying we are grief proof, Every server gets griefed.
But, according to most, we are the leading server with the least griefing issues and most responsible staff. (despite the couple mods who aren't worthy of their position)
Yeah, sorry about that Thodiral, I got back on and found out they arent actually with any mods, the mods on were just being lazy. The users nme, itsjimbolol, and ziekxx were all together on vent griefing and backing each other when someone accused them, and the mods on at the time just said "lol they've donated, why would they grief?" I thought it was just mods being asses, but now I realize they're just useless.
true edit this time: one of the mods actually caught them griefing and said "don't do it again, okay?"
They were going around insulting billy and he just sat there taking it, I lold hard
Guys this is really the best server on minecraft. With good mods that listen to players problems, a ban appeal system, huge cities,active player base, economy and more it is the best server out there. I highly recommend it.

Muncher is right, listen to him, he can cure the blind and make paraplegics walk.
An honest review of the server, as someone who has been on it since SMP came out.
Pros:
- Uptime is good. 95%, playable maybe 90%.
- Relatively nice, large community. Averages 25-40 people on during the week. Not sure where the 1280 members thing comes from, there's maybe 30 regulars on the server. 1000 forum members with 0 posts doesn't really count.
- Not much griefing.
- Not much cheating.
Cons:
- Some mods are bullies, and will generally treat people like little children. Favoritism is rampant, as Killa said, ziekxx and imjimbolol are two, since they are one of the mod's IRL friends.
- Admin is boisterous, dishonest(as he's shown in this thread), and doesn't seem very experienced or skilled. He likes to blame all server problems on Notch instead of working on them.
- Server suffers from lag spikes every so often, and if the admin isn't around to restart the server, it quickly becomes unplayable. Not a big deal, and definitely not uncommon overall on SMP servers.
- Admin is constantly harping about donations.
- Terrible creative 2.0 cities lately, stone boxes built on pre-flattened "lots".

Despite a few parts of that being obnoxious, I have to admit this is the most honest feedback i've ever seen, and I truly appreciate it.
Sure, I don't seem experienced or skilled, because I don't boast about it, I isolate myself from society and quietly work on the server, speaking with one of the experienced developers playing on the server now.
Harping about donations, well, I suppose you're right. Can't blame me when I have to not only pay $163 (up from 143 because of a server upgrade), but as well as the fact that I have to have a $6,000 balance by November or they'll start charging me (good luck).
0 posts? The forum is actually very active.
Then, blames it on Notch.. well, what else am I supposed to do? Retrieve the source code for the game and fix it myself? When the server has problems, it's not SIN Gaming having the problems (or else i'd IMMEDIATELY fix it), it's the fact that minecraft is in ALPHA stage meaning that you should expect the game and server not to work properly. I blame him because evidently he's not working on the main problems, but instead working on creating biomes and additional features.
Mods are bullies.. no arguement with that. They really are, and it's stated that they will be rearranged in the update.
And finally, the creative 2.0 cities, I agree, but that is not under my control as people silently go out and build these stupid cities.
Thanks for your feedback, i'll take it into consideration.
Constant self promotion by thodiral, People who are completely new posting favorable "reviews".
Sounds completely fishy to me. I'll try it and give an actual review sometime.
And in reply to that, the above 5 people or so are legitimate players who have been playing on the server for quite a long time, being honest right now.
my..
God..
After this new minecraft update, the server has been GODLY. completely stable and lag-free LEGITIMATE playing. With barely any griefers!
I'm donating ASAP.
No more griefing, yay! Server hasn't been legitimately griefed in days.
True.
Also true.
AND true.
Love you, Thod. Love your server, I wish it the best.
