↩ characterslimits Object, You only want to switch because of nostalgia. I get it, you want to relive the old days and change sucks.
"You only want to switch because of nostalgia", is an incredibly vast assumption to make. That may well be one of the reasons, since this server has been running for quite a long time.
But other reasons I prefer to switch:
-Private messaging
-Much better moderation tools
-Categories are laid out a lot better, and simple to navigate between
-Search function which basic and advanced search
-A support forum which can be used when there is bugs/issuesThe only reason we are actually here is because seth went against the vast majority of voters to get his way. The only reason we are still on Flarum is because Ryan wanted it to remain from where we left off. The other reason we are still here is because proboards is monumentally broken, when the proboards staff restored us, everything is corrupted/unuseable.
There wasn't anything wrong with proboards, I never felt like there was a feature missing. It had everything we ever needed, especially from a moderation point of view.
Quote↩ characterslimits Forced advertisements
Eh, adblock, but even if I didn't use that, a small banner ad between the banner and the top category really didn't bug me.
Quote↩ characterslimits Forced “shop” feature (bloatware, additionally it makes our community less child-friendly, kids will start accidently buying virtual items on the forum with real-life money as they don’t know the concept of money)
That is the stupidest comparison I have ever heard lol. That's like, every game ever nowadays with DLC or cosmetic features.
Quote↩ characterslimits Increased unappealable bans, as we will have to start enforcing ProBoards TOS (violaing the TOS of any platform is a Catagory 0 ban)
and? Did we ever experience problems like that in the 8 or so years we ran the forum?

↩ @'wxtermelon'
That is not relevant to the topic at hand, make another thread, this thread is a shitshow enough without going off topic.
My two cents on the situation is this.
I don't believe Noah should provide documentation, however I do agree with what erin said, that to play it safe we wait around a year, since he admitted he was 12.
I understand nicks reasoning to provide documentation, as I have seen it done on other servers. However in this case I don't believe it's appropriate asking someone underage for ID.
An example I saw on another server was for an 18+ party they asked people to provide ID. -

Not guilty
In all seriousness, this was an accident and i wanted to hollow it out.
Oh I forgot the old forum is restricted, whoopsie

In all fairness, since 2012 we used proboards, where we didn't have any significant problems. Proboards was better for everyone, especially from a moderation perspective.
The reason I shit on flarum, is because it literally lacks the basic function to call itself a forum. Even straight out of the box, just basically nothing. Everything is buggy, and to be quite frank I just wish we could have gone back to proboards.
The only reason we moved, and they only reason we are still here today is because of Seth. 1 because he forced the community to move here, even after countless threads explaining the downside.
2, because he caused irreversible damage to the proboards forum and we can't go back. -

If you ever played RollerCoaster Tycoon(1 or 2) in your childhood, then you will know how amazing of a game it was for its time.
https://openrct2.org/
Anyway, OpenRCT2 is basically an open source version. One of the best features available is Multiplayer, and the support for dedicated servers. But also this game has a lot of cheat modifiers, such as unlimited money, and being able to change the operational status of some rides.I would like to make a suggestion of an RCT event, maybe either a freedom style map (superflat), or maybe a build battle of some kind. I just want to see if anyone would be interested.
Thanks to @"StevenNL2000"#2 who also pointed out that you don't necessarily need to purchase the game to play it,

I said it on discord and I'll say it again. The server is basically a giant Spiderman pointing meme. Everyone is blaming eachother for the decline in players, when really the community as a whole can be to blame. The reality is the decline in players in Minecraft as a whole. 7 years ago TF didn't need anything fancy to be popular. It was all third party hosted. But I agree, people don't want to stick around on a dead server, because it's no fun. Half of TF's fun was actual community and having the slot count full at peak times.
I don't think it's fair to push the blame onto ownership though. A lot of factors have caused the decline in TF's playerbase.
Everyone may say, well what do you suggest that makes it better? That's actually a pretty difficult question to answer on the spot. Firstly, the original concept of TF used to be so simple. You can have freedom, as long as you're not a douchebag to other players. That was it, that worked. Free op, mob disguise, worldedit. You name it, we had it, or if we didn't, then you'd make a suggestion.
Now its more of a case of
"server is dead"
"Ok what do you suggest"
"Idk thats your job" -

Vouch and rec confirmed.
In all seriousness Lyicx is capable and ready for senior. After taking over as an executive, he has done a great job.
