    What is that even related to here. The demotion of the admins and destruction of a perfectly fine system?

    I honestly think that you all are acting extremely childish and inconsiderate of others. This thread was meant to be about ImNotARapper/bobby730 and you all turned it into this shit topic.

    I merely stated what bobby's intentions and reasons were. It was SirPug and Matty who began to fight it

    Maybe they did, but should you be arguing with Staff? Yes I guess you can but not in the manner you were.

    Can I simply repeat that this is a game. Instead of sitting here complaining how much you hate how the server is ran, why don't you go outside? Is that such a horrible idea?

    Guys, we are known for our awesome community and that everyone's friends with each other. We are unique, we are together, we are BuildCraftia, remember? Where did this attitude go? This is truly getting ridiculous and we all know that. I want you all to ask yourselves, are we really, really fighting over something ridiculous. We are all pretty mad about what happened in the last 24 hours. I am, because I spent 5 hours of my day fixing all that... So, thank you for respecting all my work, guys. I really appreciate it. I really do...

    It is really saddening to hear you talking shit about staff and players behind their backs. And, for you who have accused me today, if you really think so, say it to my face. Miner, to answer you... if you really think the server's run by Matty and I... you should really open your eyes. I am doing a lot of work in the server, but that's just because I like to do stuff. I am not owning the server or anything. And, if I weren't the one to do stuff I bet you majority of it would've left undone or postponed in the matter of fact. Even though these opinions were by bobby, you were the one to bring them back... and I think bobby made his opinion clear by destroying our spawn. He is forever greatful he didn't touch my build for my clients. That would've messed with my business and it would've been a court thing then. I'm not mad, just saying. We humans have been made to talk, not fight over things. That's the gift we have given.

    I've heard a lot of comments about how the server is run at the moment. Some people say that going back to the old days would get our players back and basically resolve all our problems (we could resolve the world hunger too!). But I want you to think what actually has changed to worse after "the old days". Not that much, really. If there's thing you don't like make a nice post here in the forums. Don't accuse anyone for doing stuff you don't really know about...

    I have always liked to have my head turned forward, to the future. There's no need to reminisce in most of the cases.

    I have worked hardly for the server. Maybe I should've asked before I added that punch command, trails, better voting, better plot system, better looking server, all the builds I have done... I mean, what's your problem? Matty and I are both doing our job selecting staff, doing configs, making sure permissions work... If there's anything you think we are doing wrong and you know how to do better, feel free to say. There's absolutely no need to grief the whole server for that. We are open for suggestions, anytime! Here in the forums, on the server, on Skype... wherever you feel the most comfortable to. I am not going to get mad about anything, unless you clearly insult me with names et cetera. You should all know what's suitable.

    The reason we might not add something nor remove something is because we have a lot of experience on this matter. We pretty much know the coincidences of certain things because we have most likely tried something like that. We have worked on multiple servers before and we do know what we're doing, at least in theory. If we are unsure about something, we have and will ask your opinions. We have done that on almost every bigger change in the server. Even more in the future, once we get to the point of doing so!

    We are basically stuck for a moment, because we are doing something really awesome. Something that is truly ours, something that will blow your minds when it's done, so keep up for that. Yes, that might or might not be our new API featuring our own trails, banning system, permission system... Bunch and bunch of awesome things on its way! That's why we haven't been doing that much visible progress. I am sorry for not informing you about that, but well... now you know.

    If there's something more you want to say or ask, you are free to add me on Skype (azza470) and message me there. If there's something I do wrong in the server, you can tell it straight to me. There's absolutely no need to create any kind of stupid threads and threats about things. Just one message and that's it. No need to accuse anyone for doing something. Just stating that again.

    I get the fact my English isn't the best and you have a big lead when you are talking with me. I might not be able to justify my decision that well, but at least I am trying guys. At least I am trying... Doing my best.

    Oh yes, and to prevent any more fighting I will lock this thread, because I don't want to continue this (yes, let me say it) shit that's been going on in this thread today. It's truly saddening how human being can be so rude when it comes to stuff like this, right? We all need to grow up if this is the way we handle arguments and things... Just do what I told you to do earlier in this post. Message me on Skype or something, okay?

    Where do I begin...

    BuildCraftia is something that's unexplainable to me, it's the one thing that I own that I know is mine - something that I built and learned to create. Throughout my journey I've met some awesome people - including Niko, Matty, Leo, Taz, Aidan, Ramsay (Alex), Challenger (Adam), Buster, and loads more. I've been with this server through the thick and the thin. Now, I won't get into detail - I'll save that for another time however... I just wanted everyone to know how much effort goes into this server and the struggle we have as a team everyday to bring you high quality content with what we have.

    I've noticed some staff members and users are revolting against us and believe that what we are doing is in the wrong - if you believe that, I would be ashamed. This server wouldn't be here today without the dedication of Matty, AZZA, Leo, and many others. We brought this back for the community and all it seems to do is bring negative criticism. I barely see any positive comments and the people who have negative ones can never give suggestions - they just say it's bad.

    In fact, I'm taking responsibility for all of this - if you're going to blame anyone, blame me. Matty and AZZA did nothing wrong. Blame me. Blame me for doing what I thought was right for the server. Blame me for partnering with Gazamo to try to make the server a better place. Everyone always hates on Gazamo and says Gazamo ruined the server and that Gazamo sucked, that Arcadia sucked. Maybe the server wasn't the best thing out there - but it wasn't anyone's fault. I chose to partner, Gazamo saw potential in us and it just didn't work out in the end - frankly, I ran out of money to even fund the server at that point. Gazamo never supported us with money, I do not understand where these ideas come from.

    I'm still surprised that Matty and Niko actually stay after all the crap some of you guys give them - they are my friends, some of the best friends that I have and I love them. There is nothing wrong that they did. They spend time out of THEIR PERSONAL LIVES to help and support the server in anyway they can with no benefit and all they get is crap.

    In addition, there are so many lies that seem to surround the server and some recurring topics that I do not see why they still occurs is with Gazamo and MsCottonCandy. So, I'll explain what exactly happened for both of them so we can understand what actually occurred.

    1. Gazamo: I have been "friends" with TheTazHD for a while, we've purchased builds off of him for DTC and more and then one day he told me that h was going to do me a favor. He brought me into a chat or whatever with Vorske (the owner of Gazamo) and they explained to me that they wanted to make a server. We found a few developers and things rolled out from there. We had a game plan, custom API in the works and everything. We were going to hit it big. However, I didn't like how I had to sign a contract and I'm glad I didn't about the whole server thing and therefore I was able to work out a deal where I didn't have to and we could move on. We were in development for a few months and eventual got our feet on the ground and opened up to public beta testing. During public beta testing, we had some bugs and kinks to work out but eventually it we fixed it. However, the server was just too plain for some members - I personally felt as though Gazamo did nothing to help us at all and it was all organized by Taz and the other members of Gazamo at that time. During this time period, we had to use hosting from Full Effect Hosting (Gazamo's hosting company) - the server costed $200/month to operate. I eventually ran out of money and decided we weren't going anywhere with some persuasion from Matty etc. At that moment, I shut down the server and decided to rebuild with BuildCraftia.

    Gazamo never funded us. It just didn't work out in the end and that's okay - all we wanted to do was make a better server for the members.

    2. MsCottonCandy - Gosh, I don't even know how this is still a big deal. MsCottonCandy was a Moderator I believe for some time and out of the blue one day she decided to donate an obscene amount of money to the server. Gosh, was I happy. I ran outside told my parents about all the money we got and everyone was happy. We quickly promoted her to Admin and life was good. However, it came to our attention that we were then being accused of stealing money from MsCottonCandy - I can't remember how, it's very vague but I do know that we started seeing revolt from some of the staff members that I guess were on her side such as jkftw. Her Dad eventually found my phone number somehow and left me a message stating how Candy's "been a bad girl" and will "receive punishment" and basically threatening me personally as well. At that point, I immediately refunded the money as I knew that was the right thing to do and brought the voicemail to the police. They said they would look into it and take care of it, refund the money, and it should all be okay. Over the next few days, we were yelled at for stealing her money and that we ran off it with when I had proof that we refunded the money and gave it all back. No one seemed to believe my story for some reason - even Candy began to lie about the situation stating that we stole it. This confused me. Is it because she didn't want her friends to think less of her or something because she stole her Dad's credit card or...? Anyway, to this day - people like jkftw still hold a grudge and believe I took the money. I can't do anything about it that people still say these things but you just have to move on.

    After all of this, I hope some of you have a different opinion on this topic and if you don't - make a thread about it, I'll address it myself.

    I'm sorry to the people who care about the server and respect us and everyone else for having to go through this - I really am and I hope we can move on.

    Have a great day,
    Zach
