I know I haven't been playing lately, but I still read the topic, and I've seen that we've had a few regular players have trouble with trolling. Glace has been working on getting the white list working, and hopefully that helps. I decided to move the server information in to a hidden forum. I hope that this prevents lurkers from finding our site and logging on to the server to cause havoc. MP does get a decent amount of traffic, and no doubt some of that is from terrible people. This isn't a strict restriction---Like the cool kids forum, all you need is 100 posts to view and post here. Even though I had to artificially bump two members' post counts, I'm pretty sure that all current members who care can view this forum. If someone can't, I will make sure they can ASAP. Obviously we should all still invite our friends and people we trust to play. But this will hopefully help with those anonymous people.

Does anybody else know where our server information might be listed? Any other suggestions to help prevent future trolling?

Why aren't I playing more often? oh yeah skyrim...

The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

Skyrim? Rly? Where are your priorities? We were so close to The End. :) I know our server information was over at Quality Roms, and that's where our first griefer came from. But the white list is working properly. So unless someone's on the list, they are not getting onto the server anymore. I tested it by taking myself off the list temporarily.

Old flash signature has been revived for nostalgic purposes. Too bad RpgWizard hasn't been revived. :\

I endorse this message.

Though I did get very confused for a second when I couldn't figure out why I had mod powers in the Minecraft thread.

I don't think I actually have the server info over there, I think it's just a link to this thread, so that should help. Sorry about that one kid. To be fair, he wasn't a griefer, he was just dumb. Anyway I'll take a look around and make sure it really isn't there.

About the post count though, you should probably just set it to like five or something. If a new person did show up it would take an awful long time to get to 100 posts. (Maybe)
