Title: Bye!
Post by: Luminaeus on July 05, 2011, 05:20:56 am
I like Opticraft. Lot of people, lot of really impressive projects, lot of incredible builders. But, after some consideration, I've decided it's not for me. I don't regret donating $50 (although it would have been nice to at least get a thank-you e-mail) because this is a pretty solid community and I'm happy to help keep it going. To me, this place seems too uptight. I get the feeling that people are searching for something to be offended by. I've had a few people fly off the handle at me for merely giving my opinion. Anyway, I've moved on to a different server. I've got more room and a full set of build commands, so I'm happy. If anyone wants to visit, its the 24/7 Official MCStorm Server.

Changed my mind!

Wow i did not notice the donation until you mentioned it - I don't check my paypal very often, nor that email.

Thanks. If you ever come back and i do offer rewards for donations i assure you that you will get the equivalent of a $50 donation, whatever that may be.

It is a shame to see you leave, best of luck!

You will always be welcome to come back, Lumi. Sad to see a competent builder like you go for a petty squabble.
Good luck with your new server :)

I may be coming back after all.

Apparently, the guys who wrote MCStorm gave themselves admin powers on every MCStorm server (whether they host it or not). This of course made their Minecraft accounts a big shiny target for hackers.

Guess what? One of the admin accounts got hacked. The first thing they did was convert most of the main entrance into lava then turn on physics. After they grew bored of crashing the server, they started deleting maps and ip-banning people.

Moral of the story? If your account is a big shiny target, use a strong password.

Moral of the story: Don't leave blatant security vulnerabilities in your software ;)

Lol, we'll see. I grabbed a big chunk of the new builder world so I'm good on space for at least a few days.

by that do you mean you reserved space? Space reservation is no longer allowed. (see, here: http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,3116.0.html (http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,3116.0.html))

Dont worry, its an outline of his building, not just reserved space. It is still allowed.

Hehe :)

Don't worry. When I claim space it's because I have a design in mind that will use it. I always start with a rectangular outline and cross lines to find center points.
