Can I request some bigger and smaller plots? It'd be awesome to build the Idle Thumbs Downtown District and have some big buildings with smaller buildings occasionally sandwiched between. Also: any chance of using grey wool instead of black for the road?

The on-again off-again relationship between the front page and the 'Change theme' option should be back on. I think I've found a forum bug that caused it to go away when we moved a theme around.

The structured city thing has been done on the Reddit servers, and it's always awesome. There was an iteration of that server where someone built a super elaborate university building that was basically a gallery of style guides for a city district. The whole area was pre-built-out with city streets and plots, the way you did above, and then they went further by limiting building materials and having stuff like a gallery of suggested window treatments, etc. I'm for it.

Hmm, the tagging system is enabled, I'm no sure why it's not available. I'll look into it more tonight. The dots appear to be a rank-based thing (based on post counts). They go away at a certain point because of the weird mashup of builtin and imported user ranks. We'll probably clean those up shortly, now that we've figured out what they mean.

...and I love it. The wireless version is garbage, though. No numpad and laptop-style small arrow keys and an Fn key where I expect Control to be.

Possibly of use to some, because I'm blind and didn't notice it 'til Jake pointed it out to me: Additional bonus Protip: You can double-click the Read/Unread markers on the front page to mark whole forums as read.

Believe me, I'm aware than Vanilla is terrible, having some personal experience with it at work

It's less exciting when you commute over it every day SF is based on multiple grids at crazy relative angles. Also, fun fact: Duplicate street names exist, because of the presidio.

Again, just asking what people think. So far nobody seems into it.

We used to reset the old server monthly or so to keep things fresh (though some epochs went longer out of inattention). I'm neutral either way, just wanted to put the idea out there

Out of curiosity: Do people think we're getting to the point where a reset would be fun?

Beat me to it

Enjoy engineering the Thumbs website!

You're all banned ¬¬

I use http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/94020-x16-shortstuf7s-clean-design-pack-v23-full-mc-v12x-support/ and am pretty happy with it. Nice and clean, which I appreciate.

Man, what kind of jerk digs a giant hole down to bedrock and just leaves it there? *ahem*

Looks like cubedhost is doing maintenance: https://twitter.com/#!/cubedhost

I just updated the original post of this thread with new details. I'll try to revive idlemc.com tonight to also house that info

http://game.idlemc.com:8123

I was planning to add one, just haven't gotten around to it yet

Anyone who's PM'd me up to this point should have permission now. Again: If you want build access, please PM me your minecraft username.

Up and running at game.idlemc.com. If you already PM'd me by the time this was posted, I've added you to the builders list. Let me know how it works for you. Or if you have a better subdomain suggestion (new.idlemc.com also works). It can't be just idlemc.com because the game server and web server are difference IPs.

Could people who want build permission asap please PM me their minecraft usernames? I don't have the permissions file from the old server anymore, I don't think.

I'd prefer to get it set up first, in case something catastrophic happens by accident (Second Epoch style). Soon, though. Soon.

It's been 30 minutes ¬¬ (I won't be home for a few hours, sorry) My current plan is to just install Essentials to handle permissions and admin stuff, but otherwise to run the server as close to vanilla as possible. Also I'll probably throw maps back on there, though I have no idea how they'll perform on a shared server like this.
