tabacco

Server's up and running, but I still need to set up some plugins to make sure permissions and stuff are working. That won't happen 'til I get home from work tonight, though.

Server: Acquired. I'll be setting it up later tonight.

FYI: I'm looking into setting up a cubedhost account, once they have servers available.

Yep. First was "Idle :tup:". Second was the beachside one that was very short-lived (a day, tops, due to tech problems). Third was the one with the big arcade cabinet and the Guggenheim (also my favorite one). Fourth was the first one where survival SMP worked, so it had the elaborate skybridge network. Fifth was Fucknick Depot, and Sixth was the swampy spawn area with the star destroyer over it.

I disagree. I don't even care about the unlimited resources, I just liked not having to light the crap out of everything I build.

V1 and V3 for those two. V3 had the grandest of the Congrats Nick signs. V2 never made it far enough to get one.

Yeah, Fucknick Depot was the 5th epoch. That was a great building, and some cool stuff happened on that server, but it came about at the time where everyone was pretty much sick of the game, so after an initial rush to get the depot itself built, not a lot happened. I built a cool giant pyramid though.

Actually running the server was never the problem. I never found Bukkit all that hard to manage.

That's the premise the last server was set up under, but eventually it got to the point where I was paying for it all out of pocket, which is why it went away in the first place. Plus everybody else got tired of the game and never came back. Yep, $60 from linode.com for a machine with 1536MB of RAM (you pretty much need 1024MB for the game, plus some for the system). Unfortunately, RAM is the most expensive commodity in a VPS setup.

The 'lost' subway station in the fourth epoch was one of my favorite things ever.

That is likely a question for Mike who actually does our CSS. I always need CSS help because I'm terrible at it

Wait, you mean the relaunch date of the podcast is in my hands? In that case... I'm pleased to announce the launch of my own Kickstarter to fund getting the Idle Thumbs website done faster. I'll need to raise $120,000. At each tier, Mike and I name an increasingly above-the-fold element's class name after you.

Yeah we'll be updating the forums from this sad old version of vBulletin. I'm reasonably confident the banner won't be going away though (And yeah, new forum software is properly modern, HTML-wise)

Guessing they drop any request with a Referer header. Copy and paste the link into your address bar and I bet it works

What it lacked in Space Asshole it more than made up for in Puffins songs.

Put it all on black!

The episode commentary selector for season three is my favorite thing.

Fixed, thanks.
