I'll win at Monopoly next time we get together :J
We'll see.
You did get tag-teamed by Lynx and I as we basically rigged the prices of every space you landed on to screw you out of the most money as possible, so...
As revealed in my thread giving some remarks, I went to New York City with Alco_Rs11 in November of last year. Instead of freezing my balls off in the absolutely humid cold weather that was in the city during January, I instead sweated them off in the warm humid weather. It was fun though! We roamed the streets until dusk, took in the breath-taking views, laughed at insane conspiracy theory stickers, discussed TF politics, and joked about Akefu and BMW drivers.
Here's a picture I took during the trip:
DL108 was supposed to join us again, but unfortunately he got COVID-19 right before he was set to leave. Quite a shame to be honest, because I was really looking forward to a rematch of that Monopoly game we ended up playing in January. God that was fun. Hopefully he'll be able to make it next time, whenever that will be.

Woah Mark, you hit your head pretty hard back there. Minecraft? Total Freedom? Mentally unstable players? What are you talking about? Come on, it's 2010 and I just made a new Second Life avatar. Let's go check it out.
So, it's time to try another server.
On that note, some unofficial splinter communities have been created since the shutdown announcement. Some use TF's core plugin and others use a different foundation to make their servers work. I won't provide a direct example here because that would be advertising but you can find them if you know where to look or who to ask.
TotalFreedom may be "officially" gone, but its spirit will continue to live on in other communities.
Darth pasted a large section of this spawn in the Nether and invited me there in 2020 or 2021. I believe we told you about it and I sent you a Replay Mod file of my visit when it came up again later. You might have been too busy at the time. Check your older downloads!
Before the warp list was cleared, the warp was named something intentionally obscure like eduardo. The schematic might have had the same name as the warp if Darth did not delete it after pasting it. It could still be in the schematic list.
And because I don't know the source of the schematic, it is maybe a stretch, but possible, that Darth created it from the original world file. If you would dare to reach out to him he might have more info or leads. I recall some of the signs had broken formatting. Praise Lyicx!
That's probably exactly what Darth did. The world itself has been archived already for quite some time now, so he likely used a copy of it to generate a schematic. You can view it on the Internet Archive in fact - https://archive.org/details/totalfreedommc-worlds-worldhell
On December 24, 2010, two screenshots of TotalFreedom's nether server (which was called Heaven in Hell at the time) were posted onto the Minecraft Forum. Although the original poster was just showing some crazy shit he experienced on the server at the time, he unwittingly posted one of the oldest screenshots of the server known to still exist.
Words cannot describe how rare these are. Because the images were originally hosted on Photobucket and are at an insane amount of risk of being lost, I've archived the screenshots in their original PNG quality and uploaded them to the Internet Archive.

As the server comes to a close and the weight of the situation starts to hit, I can't help but get emotional about the memories I've had on this place over the years and the fact that things are about to close. The wiki will continue to be worked on, but it won't be the same. Kind of sad, but at least we didn't shut down because of any outside influence by Mojang or Microsoft.
I've decided to make a large list of people I remember and remarks. This list isn't in any particular order.
There's probably a lot more, but that's just from my memory tonight alone. If I remember anyone else, I'll be sure to edit the thread.
I've decided to give some insight into my plans for the future related to TotalFreedom, or at least what's left of it.
For those who don't know, last night two players (NekosAreKawaii and maniaplay) abused an oversight in the server's hub setup to log in as Ryan and proceeded to give themselves operator permissions. They then proceeded to grief severely the hubworld and unban everyone they were friends with from the hub server. Upon hearing the news, I acted quickly and attempted to intervene by both repeatedly stopping the hub server and attempting to de-op and ban those who were abusing it. Ultimately, I realized at that moment that by the time they gave themselves operator privileges, it was too late. The operator permissions were already network-wide. To avoid any further damage to the infrastructure, I got in touch with Rylie and asked her to immediately shut down all servers on the network so that the damage couldn't spread to Freedom-01 and other servers on the network. Ryan, who had just had to clean up the mess caused by an attack on the forum that was perpetrated by one of the two previously mentioned players, decided that enough was enough and killed the network completely.
Since then, Ryan has shown little to no interest in spending the resources needed to rebuild the network after the treatment that he's been given over the years as the owner. Even still, I desperately tried to get the lights running again on my own. I stayed up until 6 AM on the night attempting to negotiate with him a deal to handover ownership of the network to me so that I could bring the server back online myself. This was unsuccessful as he pretty much refused when I practically begged him to allow me to do the rebuilding work for him. He views the entire network as compromised and will likely never start it up again. He also views the community as a toxic shitshow that would continue the cycle of the next owner in line being bullied into insanity until they give up on the server, and refuses to allow such a cycle to continue. With that in mind, I've decided to shift my focus to a part of TotalFreedom that will live on even after the actual Minecraft server dies: its history.
You definitely saw this coming from a mile away. I'm practically obsessed with the history of this place and it's one of the major factors that kept me playing on it over the years. Because the history of this place is still barely documented, I've started working with Telesphoreo to build an unofficial wiki for the server and community to document as much of its history over the course of its 13 year lifespan as possible. This is something I wanted to do for years now, and with things wrapping up, my goal of documenting the server's history has become much more viable and much less perpetual. If you want to contribute to this project, it's currently being hosted at https://totalfreedom.wiki/.
TL:DR - The network was effectively breached, Ryan is highly likely going to throw in the towel and will not transfer ownership. As such, I've decided to continue the legacy of the server unofficially by working with Telesphoreo to build a wiki for it to document its history.
the only dipshit we've got moderating there is some whale shagging projecting ass prick who seems to have the hots for me
You literally have a section of your plot dedicated to your balls in my mouth, yet I'm the one projecting?
and was more interested in PS3 emulation on my new toy
We kept telling him to make the fucking announcement last night but he was too busy playing debug builds of Little Big Planet and projecting onto me again. Typical.
HEY HEY videogamesm12 YOU GET TO WORK WITH YOUR "RIGHT HAND MAN" LIKE FUCKIN UHHH THE GAY BONNIE AND CLYDE OF THE TOTALFREEDOM FORUMS.
You say I'm projecting, and then say shit like this. You literally picked your boyfriend Rex as a forum mod to give him a "fair shake". Come on, man. At least pretend to be self-aware when you're pulling this shit.
What the fuck does this even mean?

While I've already offered a compromise which seems to have been well-received, I'm still going to respond to Luke's post.
have you had an issue with the one on Discord so far?
Discord Administrators bypass the filters you put in place, so I can't measure this from firsthand experience.
compared to now where it’s whack a mole with people saying the slur?
Not really - we're not in the age of the Akefu raids anymore where we had people bypassing bans to continue using slurs. From a quick search through the Discord server, slurs aren't very commonly used at all compared to actual proper conversation. In pretty much every case, it's usually some edgy 12 year old thinking it's funny to use racial or homophobic slurs and they are often quickly curb stomped by a staff member.
i’d like you to explain this point more in particular in what context would this be acceptable
Firstly, filters aren't perfect and an example of this (as Ryan pointed out) is the classic Scunthrope problem, where innocent words get incorrectly flagged and caught by the filter. Take the word "snigger" for example - a lot of filters would see the last 6 letters and immediately flag it as offensive.
Secondly, I believe slurs are acceptable in a historical context if you are not the one who's actually using it. To elaborate, if you are providing transcripts of older conversations (which so happened to contain slurs in them) whilst documenting something historical that happened, that should be fine because the messages were from an era that was more accepting of that kind of language. Sure, you could alter them to remove that shit, but altering historical documentation to remove language that isn't acceptable today is altering history to me, and I'm not a fan of that at all.
Lastly, I believe slurs are also acceptable if they are used in the context of evidence. If someone were to file a ban request or something similar for someone who repeatedly spammed racial slurs on the server, they should be able to provide sufficient evidence that supports this.
honestly video you gotta humble yourself the only person who’d be able to do this is you if we have a filter set only to ban the n word/the f word/other slurs. if it’s in config.yml.
I'm not the only one who can do this. Anyone with file access could do this, not just me. Hell, if this gets implemented network-wide, I wouldn't be able to do this because I don't have access to NetworkManager.
by that extent we should also remove long term bans. admins exist to ban the users on sight. we should also remove /gtfo, as admins can kick on site. we should also remove /report because admins should be able to see what’s going on.
That's not the same thing at all and you know this.
The intention would just to block them and potentially display a message to say the chat was not sent.
If you are proposing that we use an intentionally basic chat filter that simply rejects messages containing slurs and explains why with no repercussions (e.g. like an automatic ban), then I'm willing to compromise with this provided it isn't used to censor actual legitimate topics and we don't expand upon it further.
I'll elaborate further later today when it's not 5 am.
Luke I'll respond to your post when I wake up in a few hours, I just want to do it when I am not on the verge of falling asleep.
