Minecraft Airship Pirates enjin forum

[RummyRumBeard]

I'm posting this for your review and to better understand if this is the route you'd like to see the forum go, Bacca.  I'm also interesed in feedback from other community members.

I've setup up the above site for us to use as an official forum once the survival server is live and taken into account some requests from the community to date.  I'm open to continuing to work on this if it's on track, or if I'm off track and another plan is in place, please let me know and I'll shut this site down.

I've included a section for admins only to document issues as well as a ban appeal section with a preliminary format for appeals.  I'd like to add appropriate perms for admins / moderators so please let me know if I missed you.  Tyler, you have access - please let me know if you have issues.

Thanks all, enjoy.

Yay!, do I have admin rights?

[RummyRumBeard]

You do! 

Let me know if you really do though.  I mean, test it out.  It looks clear on my end.

As we get closer to launch, this plugin will connect our enjin site to the server and allow modules to access online status, players online, and apply donation rewards (assuming we go with that).

Also, is there a plan to use votes for the server?  I have a module on standby that will post top voters as well if that's of interest.

I must admit me ignorance here. I've heard people talk about voting for a server, but I'm not sure of the significance.

[RummyRumBeard]

No worries, the votes get posted on various sites that basically function as advertisements.  Here are a few popular examples:

http://www.planetminecraft.com/resources/servers/

http://minecraft-server-list.com/

http://minecraftservers.org/

http://www.minestatus.net/

Basically,  a vote plugin will allow players to do /vote in game (or on our site if we add that module) and get a series of links (similar to the above listed) that they can go to, vote - which tallys for the server and ranks accordingly, and then earn some reward.  The system is automated and common rewards are diamonds, money, and sometimes kits.  It's fairly easy to setup, I've used votifier in the past and you can execute command lines on vote so the possibilities are pretty endless.

The reason a server owner would to this is to help increase awareness, advertise, and give a little "thank you" to players who help spread the word.  There is a limit of 1 vote per site, per 24 hours.

If this is a route you'd like to take with the survival server, I'd be happy to crank out some banners for sites.  Just let me know if there are others than the above and I'll get them formatted accordingly.  I'd be happy to chat more about it too if you want when we're online together.

I have worked a bit on updating the forums so we can use them.

I need someone to make a nice banner for the site, I would prefer if you could cover all factions and have the new warships in it.

I would also like to see you use shaders and the AP resource pack v0.6.

We are going to transition to using enjin forums over the next few weeks, if you have suggestions for forums topics please tell us
