  • My hypothesis on why eso is raiding TF

    My hypothesis is simple: despite what they claim, they have no actual interest in trying to change the server. It's a pretty well-known fact that they consider this place a hellhole, so they are just trolling for (somewhat literally) shits and giggles, using BrandBox's ban as justification. They're wasting their time.

  • The Application Threshold

    I've lowered the threshold down to 75% for both new applications and reinstatement applications that require a vote. I don't plan on going any lower than that. This change does not affect Senior Admin applications.

  • Who will get access to the panel?

    I strongly advise that admins have access to the panel so that they can actually stop and start the server. Removing the Discord bot's role in managing the server is fine, but removing the ability to start and stop the server from the majority of the admin team will cripple the their ability to recover from server crashes quickly.

  • wisemagick1 - Reinstatement

    Before we begin, could you verify your identity with me? You can just message me on Discord if that's the most convenient option to you.


    I've confirmed wisemagick's identity. Since he is returning from a resignation, the standard voting process applies.

  • Additions to /kit

    The only thing that needs to be done to implement this suggestion is to unblock the /createkit command. In the past, there was an issue with kits that allowed players to crash the server with large amounts of data in a given kit by creating a kit with a nasty item and then using /showkit on it, which is why the command was blocked in the first place. The issue was reported to EssentialsX's developers at the time, but we should test to make sure that this issue has been resolved anyways.

    ↩  FromTimeToTime if this is approved i would like players to be able to preview kits before adding them, to avoid the chance of people blindly overflowing their inventory, requiring it to be cleared.

    The /showkit command does allow for this.

  • Totalblox

    While Roblox is a sandbox, its terms of service is very restrictive and wouldn't fit in with the ruleset we have. With that being said, in the past I did try to have a go at making a Roblox edition of TotalFreedom. However, I eventually scrapped the project due to a lack of interest on my end.

  • Where is the charter title?

    ↩  DragonSlayer2189 To quote markbyron himself in an archive of the Executive and Senior Roster:

    Quote

    Admins that pioneered the server during Minecraft alpha/beta. They have no requirement for activity.

    In order to qualify as charter, you need to have been an admin during the pioneering days of the server (November 2010 to November 2011). The list is extremely exclusive due to its tight criteria, however I believe it's better that way as it highlights their historical importance in TotalFreedom history. Here's a list of users who qualify for Charter:

    • markbyron
    • FrankL
    • Miwojedk
    • Ethanmort
    • Kash445
    • xXWilee999Xx
    • wilee999
    • flippyding
    • zekurt
    • SpecLeader
    • tamsakeer
    • MEGAF4IL
    • cowgomooo12

    Somewhat off-topic, but it is worth noting that there also used to be an Emeritus title for past executives that allowed them to keep their title as an honor. They were also able to perform executive duties at the discretion of the owner. Here's a list for those as well (taken from the previously-mentioned archive):

    • MarkByron (Founder and former owner of Total Freedom)
    • Windows (Former Owner)
    • Madgeek (Co-Founder and creator of TotalFreedomMod)
    • Prozza (Executive Lead Developer)
    • EnderLolzeh - Executive Admin
    • smg515 - Executive Admin
    • wilee999 - Executive Admin
    • Miwojedk - Executive Creative Designer
    • Wild1145 - Total Freedom Evangelist
    • OliverDatGuy - Total Freedom Security Officer
    • Zekurt - Total Freedom Security Officer
    • Paldiu - Executive Creative Designer
    • Fluffasaurus_Rex - Executive Creative Designer
    • Wade - Associated Server Liaison
    • Cowgomooo12 - Global Forum Moderator

    Instead of tampering with a historical list meant to honor those who were on the server in the very beginning, I feel that we could extend the Emeritus title out to include admins who have contributed to the server significantly in some form or another instead. To ensure that it doesn't become a participation trophy, there should be additional requirements in place.

  • Where is the charter title?

    I was considering making a suggestion to re-introduce the Charter title, though I wasn't sure how the community would react to it. I personally believe that we should be honoring those who volunteered during the pioneering days of the server.

  • Which iteration of Windows was the best?

    A little more than a year ago, I created a poll on the ProBoards forums asking a rather simple question: which iteration of Windows was the best? Today, I'm asking the same question again now that Windows 11 has come out.


    Personally, my answer is tied between Windows 7 and Windows XP. While Windows 7 wasn't nearly as customizable as Windows XP was, its Aero theme looks absolutely beautiful. With that being said, Windows XP was absolutely bulletproof in terms of stability and reliability, especially compared to previous operating systems like Windows ME which ran under the Windows 9x kernel. While Windows 7 is also extremely stable, it's still not as stable as XP.

  • Cafe72 ban appeal

    ↩  Cafe72 now i could either back off now or someone could tell me how i could prove my claim.

    Alright. Despite my knowledge that Wurst is incapable of breaching Telnet (see this part of the Wurst source code for how ForceOP actually works, I can provide a step-by-step explanation if necessary), I'm going to give you the opportunity to defend yourself. Could you provide your client-side logs of your session on the server from December 18, 2020? If you can provide these logs, I could then analyse them to determine their validity and then see how things went from your perspective.
