    They're not getting bad, you are just changing your perspective on them.

    I never watched any of them, not because they are bad (they're really good, at what they do) , it's because it's just not my style of video.
    I mainly watch Redstone tutorial videos, and gaming news videos. Let's plays and gaming commentary isn't really my thing.

    I still watch the occasional Let's Play. But I find playing the game myself, more fulfilling than watching someone else play it.

    Quote from RurouniTim

    It's a bit annoying that there doesn't seem to be a way to upload or download your map from this. If they add that functionality, I could see myself maybe paying for this. Otherwise, I'll just stick to running an actual server through clanforge.

    Another thing I want to know is how much ram is dedicated to the server. On my hosted server, I have 1 gig of memory. Once people begin exploring past about 2000 or -2000 x or z, the server gets much laggier.

    It's still early days for this. Who knows, the ability to do upload and download may appear in the future. I would think so, because once the subscription ends and a player doesn't renew it. I'm sure players want to download their map and save it for the future or something.

    At this stage, I wouldn't say there is much RAM dedicated to it because it has a max 4 players limit. But then again, who knows what the future holds, and the limit may increase.

    posted a message on When will Mojang-Microsoft contract expire?
    I don't really think they release Minecraft for another console. Mouse and keyboard is the most effective way to play, xbox users don't know what they are missing.

    posted a message on My dad won't let me run a minecraft server so any ways around it?
    Totally understandable that your dad won't let you run a Minecraft server.
    For one, port forwarding could pose a few security threats if you don't know what you are doing, and I won't recommend youtube, as they simply tell you to open ports, but don't tell you what is really happening. Most of the time, they don't know what they are doing either.

    Another thing is, servers use quite a bit of computer resource. RAM and CPU is important, but most of all, connection. Most ISP's don't allow servers to be run your home computer, because it is part of their Terms Of Use policy. And internet usage does cost a bit of money, and if you go over your data allowance, your dad's ISP may charge additional charges or slow your connection down.

    I would recommend using a registered Minecraft host, they have all the right software and all the technical side already configured for Minecraft servers. The cheapest host I have seen is PlugPayPlay, and I have been a customer with them before and the support is very nice. But I'm sure you will find a host suitable for you. Minecraft host's are very cheap in comparison to home hosting in the long run, is more reliable.

    Most hosts cost about $10 a month for a 1GB of RAM, which is not expensive at all.

    A good place to find some nice hosts is here.
    I hope you have a nice day :)

    posted a message on Why does my minecraft server colored MOTD have ?'s in it?
    I'm sorry, I can't really understand what you are trying to ask :P

    Are you trying to colour your server MOTD like this?

    If you are, you edit MOTD in the server.properies file.
    Mine looks like this:
    motd=\u00A72Plugin test Server


    You put in the colour code before the text.
    Here is the other colour codes.
    \u00A70 = Black
    \u00A71 = Dark Blue
    \u00A72 = Dark Green
    \u00A73 = Dark Cyan
    \u00A74 = Dark Red
    \u00A75 = Purple
    \u00A76 = Orange
    \u00A77 = Light Grey
    \u00A78 = Dark Grey
    \u00A79 = Lilic
    \u00A7a = Light Green
    \u00A7b = Light Cyan
    \u00A7c = Light Red
    \u00A7d = Pink
    \u00A7e = Yellow
    \u00A7f = White


    If you do this all correctly, you shouldn't get any ?'s

    Quote from BlockParty

    Not really, moderating isn't all about punishing people, it's also about helping people with problems they are having related to minecraft ^_^

    Not just Minecraft,the forums isn't just Minecraft don't you know :P

    In the last couple of weeks, I have been hopping around the forums, upper forums, OT, forum games, even support. I've learnt there are a lot of different kinds of people around here and Minecraft isn't the only thing the forum talks about.. I've got to know a few people really well too and make some new friends.
