So i take it application should be filled out like the following? :


Name: DJMikeyrevile

Age: 21

What position are you going for: Builder

How Long you have played our server: About two weeks now (if by server you mean any Ibis server, 3 years ish)

Have you ever been banned, and why?: Never

Convince us in no less than a paragraph why you are right for that position and what makes us want to bring you onboard
compared to the others who applied?: I am a very creative person and enjoy expressing ideas through minecraft and music, i take the game pretty seriously and enjoy spending countless hours on projects people can stare at in awe. I believe that the saying "Keep it simple stupid" applies to building stuff in minecraft, plenty of times someone gets carried away with excessive detail and there final product looks disgusting. More about leaving any dynamic art for the players but enjoy building dynamic sculptures as well. What sets me apart is that i would like to think i am fairly talented at making appealing structures and am always eager to work together with others to build even bigger projects that i might not be able to do alone. I have always had a goal of being part of a server who shows off its creations via a dedicated youtube channel, i hope it can be achieved here!

Below are some screen shots of things i have built, not much time was put into them but i think there pretty sweet non the less.

Next, a very simple home and patio

Rez has the map. Yea... I didn't feel like screwing with it anymore, and setting permissions for asshatery asshats screwing shit up.

On a real note, sign me up as dev.

[Rezel]

others: we arent quite accepting applications its more just preparing for it.

Steamer: Steamer as a friend I've known for years, and a person who has done a lot of server side projects with me and been successful I would love to have you as developer. Welcome


-Server will be down for awhile, the host we use suffered a massive loss of information. Thankfully last night before the incident happened we have a full copy of the server and everything we require to set it back up.

We apologize for this down time, I will try and get it back up ASAP.

Nice nice. Did you test Voxel Sniper yet?

[Rezel]

Unfortunately we are forced to redo the entire server from the data loss, however the good news is that we have moved to a better host!

Here is the new IP For the server and hopefully the final!

ibismc.game.nfoservers.com

Damn, but you can still load all the server mods and stuff correct? Or will you need to do EVERYTHING? I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE! i will build my heart out <3

[Steamer]

A good working portion has already been set up. Hopefully I can be on longer tomo to help more, probably not though, ya know how it is.

[mag36]

yeah i receive message about maintenance

We're going to be taking the network down for maintenance on Tuesday, April 10th at 12 AM CST for approximately 45 minutes. During this time, connections may be intermittent, but don't rely on the connections until the window is over. This maintenance is to solve the lag issues that were occurring a few days ago and allow us to filter most DDoS attacks. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind Regards,
John Marion
General Manager

Then when i received word via text on my phone from rezel about server being down while i was at work. Then i see this message

If you are receiving this notice, you had one or more services on node #20 in our US-Central facility. I regret to inform you that the node in question suffered catastrophic data loss early this morning. Unfortunately, none of the data can be recovered. We will be issuing credits worth the cost of one month of your server to your account due to this issue, please open an accounting ticket to claim this credit. Any data on our MySQL system is still accessible, only the server files have been lost. At this time, we will be moving all clients from node #20 to another node, please notify support and we can create you another service.

Many Apologies,
John Marion
General Manager

this tells me that they don't know what they're doing, going from maintenance to harddrive failure

So after several emails trying to talk with them I Decided, FUCK'em and we went with another server company. This one will offer us web-hosting as well. So we should be able to have a map for our Minecraft world soon and maybe more
