I joined BC about a week or so after the server opened. Besides myself, there was only one other player (KingFap) who is working very hard and putting in tons of hours at his job currently.
Initial Impression?
Being a brand new world I was excited to get working on a homestead with everything fresh and natural. At the same time it was very raw and since then, we've improved the infrastructure quite a bit. There's a major trans-biome road, and corresponding over-world rail and connecting lines. We are working on a real Nether hub, which will be connected to the players bases and homes.
Pros of BC
Personally I like a small close knit community and that's what we have built so far. I enjoy getting on the server and knowing the people at least on some level. People are friendly and helpful, if you need something and don't want to craft or find it, there's help in some form. And if you want to craft or find it, someone will adventure with you and help you find it or share their fortune pick to increase your diamond yield.
Cons of BC
With the lag problems solved, the only con I can think of right now is looking for more interesting people to socialize with and grow the server into an even better place to play.
What is your favorite part of BC?
My favorite part is helping people, as an admin, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment by helping players solve their problems. Additionally I enjoy helping people build stuff or commenting my thoughts about the project.
Suggestions on how to make BC better
At this point in time, we are working on some marketing plans and coming up with a strategy to show players what fun can be had at Basic Craft. See you soon...
We are now running CB #1392 and I've updated all the plugins. I switched to making the server completely legitimate (Spawn used to be created in creative)
The New Spawn is under construction but the spawn in point is ready! and I can't wait to recruit some new players to give feedback!
About you: Know a lot about minecraft and still looking to learn form mature players.
Skills: Team player, enjoy having fun with mature players.
Why you want to join: Really just want to play with mature players in fun environment.
What version of Minecraft is Basic Craft using (meaning you might have to downgrade client) I play on the most recent.
Do you have RL skills you can provide for the server?:(ex. photoshop,plugin creation) management skills, leadership skills, always looking to learn.
Welcome to the server Shocker! It's been kinda quiet lately but we are currently revamping the server so hopefully it'll be to your liking. check your PM's
Initial Impression? Great server with friendly players.
Pros of BC - Friendly players and fun survival environment.
Cons of BC - Long roads to connect places
What is your favorite part of BC? Being able to build wherever and be able to ask for help and you will get it immediately.
Suggestions on how to make BC better - The road system is cool and all but I think there should be patched roads to personal houses and buildings, instead of having these extremely long roads.
I've added a new Plugin which will require all users to read and accept the new set of rules i've created to uphold the high standards I have for our community. I'm also going to allow the community to suggest and vote on additional plugins to enhance the BC experience. My attempts to do this in the past have failed because of bad timing and the multiple players who join us from across the pond that play while most of America is asleep. So I'm going to be exploring different options we can use to improve/modify the current voting process.

About you: I'm a very creative person, mc is a relaxing outlet for me to be creative with. I am a bit quiet and shy at first, but after I get to know people I can be a goof.
Skills: I enjoy building Medieval themed buildings, castles (haven't attempted a really large build yet), I'm also attempting to learn how to "sculpt" in mc. I'm getting the hang of redstone wiring, castle portcullis, train stations, and few other things like mob crushers.
Why you want to join: I have been looking for a nice small community to join and make some new friends. Servers with a large amount of players can get a bit overwhelming, I like the feel of a community, not a mass of people that don't work together.
What version of Minecraft is Basic Craft using (meaning you might have to downgrade client) The most current version.
Do you have RL skills you can provide for the server?:(ex. photoshop,plugin creation) I have a Wacom cintique, and photoshop. I use it for the drawing capabilities, lol I'm horrid at photo manipulation though.
