Wow, what a way to go.

I spent 7 years of my teenage life here, so it's fair to say this server had a huge impact on who I am now. As a matter of fact, mentioning my experience here landed me my first executive position in a University club.

I've had countless memories here that I cherish dearly. I won't forget them quickly. From being one of the servers' first redstone masterbuilders (and one of only two or three), being the Executive Create Designer back in 2019 (I think?? It's been a while), and being a Senior Administrator for so many of these years - I hope that made an impact on some people like they made an impact on me.

RoboEx, you were truly a fantastic partner in redstone crime.

Mark, thanks for OPaSing me when I joined.

Jumpeh, thanks for TPaSing me back on FOP.

Cactus, thanks for always helping me out with all my redstone stuff back in the day.

It's been a good run

Dude! Awesome work! Thanks so much for putting the research in and writing this up. This was such a crazy throw back to read through this and remember what was happening. I am also 60% sure that Unknown #1 in the 20-person DM might have been me; the writing seems very much like mine and rings a bell.

Looking forward to the next part, that's where all the drama is

Now i dunno who the fuck nero is but he out here posting bomb themes

reminds me of Neroblackcat, a former TF admin here. Maybe it has something to do with her? Otherwise I have no fucking clue

holy moly, I haven't heard these names in years!!!! Leave it to you to bring up the history haha

Not every day you see an admin as old as you return!

Really nice explanation of the world wiping. Great job

As one of few redstone masterbuilders to come through the ranks, I'll pass on some of my knowledge.

I learned most of my tricks from Mumbo Jumbo's series on learning redstone. T Flip Flops, RS Nor Latches, Monostable Circuits, etc. Trying to use them in projects really consolidated my knowledge of them.

oh totalfreedom, never stop being you

Heyo, long time member and lurker here.

Whilst not the UK, I've gotten roles in some of Australia's biggest tech companies so I might be of some assistance.

I've found that doing lots of interesting personal projects with up to date technologies looks really good on a portfolio for potential employers. If you don't have one already, I think Github > LinkedIn simply because by putting your projects there you are showing a few things. One of which is that you can use version control and git related technologies.

My good friend Nicholas wrote a blog post about "Getting That Grad/Intern Role" that I have found IMMENSELY useful. Whilst this was written with an Australian market bias, you might find it can apply to your area too. https://blog.ndl.im/getting-that-grad-or-intern-position/

Short term disposable worlds might be more accessible for new players to get started in. I'm aware that having long-term worlds would be good - especially for our long-term members here who stay for a while - but I can imagine it would be fairly daunting if you join the server for the first time.

Congratulations Wild! It's interesting looking back and seeing the old system of Super, Telnet, Telnet Clan, and Senior. What simpler (or not) times those were

being upset at what

the fact that issues like this repeatedly concur and come up when there have been steps put in place to prevent these issues, such as notices in admin chats about commands due to be blocked, but ignored for a month.

not only that, but how can we even expect builders to build for us as MBs or even unranked players without the worry of them losing their build and not recovering it?

the issue here really isn't the temporary loss of admin world, it's more the fact that issues like this repeatedly take place and we suffer for some time each time. granted, this time we're gonna be okay but what about next time?

bruh I put dozens of hours into my redstone shit into the adminworld and the number of times it's gotten griefed and rolled back is quite large. There has always been backups. There will always / sometimes be rogue admins. If you want a sure fire solution just stop anyone from modifying the adminworld...

ayo I was an MB too champions, don't forget about your other redstone MB

I’ve literally come back from the dead to say what the fuck is this?!

Also, as a professional video producer now a days, I wish you luck. Organising something like this is no trivial task, but if you stick with it will be rewarding!

Making a once-in-a-while forum come back just to put my two cents in.

Whilst a lot of the points might have valid reasons (I can't say I'm up to date with TF things now-a-days though), replacing the owner again is going to be a mammoth task in itself. Two of our three past owners have not left on great terms, whereas the server has been stable under Wild. Personally, I wouldn't want to risk that stability unless Wild truly was some tyrannical dictator.

↩  DragonSlayer2189 I'm trying to remember what the reasoning was behind that rule. Was it something like it makes the chat look ugly or makes you look like an admin? All I remember from back then was getting a dopamine rush from /nickclean'ing when someone had a bold name lol.

A mystery solved! Welcome back

This literally looks like a re-skinned Discord. What is the actual difference?

I'll agree with that. Although, I'd probably put Cow up under #2 and Windows down to #3.
