The Server is up but it is unreachable from our DDos protected IP:

From our provider:

damn.. appears so.. I have just asked my datacenter what's going on. In regards to the future though, we're actually starting to deploy some new skylake servers which will be better performing that we're sending over to the East coast

Yes, I'm saying that to do this, I would have to manually give them to each player, or make some custom eggs that spawn another mob that I can use as a placeholder to allow me to run commands at the location you spawn it. Giving half a dozen custom armor stands to each VIP+ would be quite the task, so that's why I feel that making them a more premium item would be good.

I usually give Myne a Crafty name.

They won't as I don't have database access to the old forum, and the categories/tags are different. However, I do plan to create an archive site that will allow access to old posts.

This base reminds me of the systems of the server itself, from the outside it looks great, but when you actually get inside and see how it works, you can't believe all the little systems used to keep it all running.

Great job man!

Yes, I had first hand proof of this when they threw out my bug report after 289d 17h 46m. They have likely signed a contract saying that they can not release with more the "X" amount of unresolved bugs, so they send someone to speed through the old one and if they are not important enough or if they have not been confirmed by the bug reporter that it exists in the current version, they throw it out with "Marked as: Resolved".

This happened to me, they didn't touch it for many months so I stopped updating it to say it was still in the current version. When they updated to 1.8.9, they only added some stuff for realms, but since I didn't say it was in 1.8.9, they marked it as it no longer was an issue and threw it out. However I know for sure that it is still in the current release.

Server warned you and you didn't stop, also, your chat was quite rude.

You must wait for the staff that banned you to reply.

You actually can't give the armorstand item with arms. I would need to give special eggs with a name so that I can target them from command blocks and set the arms after they spawn. I do this for the staff with eggs that allow mod3's to clear larger areas as well as build up land very quick. I could make it work but I actually think this might be a better option for the server bills, you could substitute your pets for custom armor stands with almost any combination of poses or items.

Thoughts?

It was good when we started as it was the only thing that did the forums, store and management for vanilla servers. After making my own panel, I implemented the management into it, effectively making ServerKart really only a forum and store. After getting spammed for the 500th time, I said enough was enough, there's too many little issues that I can't even try to fix myself. I looked everywhere but nothing had everything I needed and most of the forums I found didn't integrate at all with my systems or minecraft.

EsoTalk is the forum that my programming language of choice uses, so I gave it a try. After redoing all the avatar stuff to use Minecraft heads, integrating my ranking system, changing the look and feel, fixing small bugs, and adding better validation/spam protection, I had created the awesome forum you see now.

Upon finishing the forum, I realized that I now had gone completely against my original plan of consolidating and optimizing the systems of CraftyMynes. I now had a store that was completely separate from almost every system, had little to no automation and used rcon (minecraft rcon is insecure) to deliver payments to the server with at best 90-95% accuracy (which is not really acceptable).

That brings us to where we are now. I am currently working on our new store and donation system that will be 100% automated as well as deliver the donations to the panel with SSL. No longer will I be spending all my time checking to see if anyone's VIP+ has expired and checking my invoices to see if someone actually donated.

To say ServerKart is a "turd" is not the best because not only did it provide everything I need to get my server off the ground, it has lasted me for over a year. That being said, I have outgrown the old forum and I need to look into new systems that can do exactly what I need them to do without keeping me up at night.

At some point I would like to migrate from the old forum just so I don't have to deal with 2 forums, 2 stores, and 2 ban managers, but until I can finish up the new store database and expiry system, I will be keeping them both running.

No, not yet, however this is just one more reason we created our new forum. A note about the old forum, we will be archiving everything on website I'm making in my spare time
