since may of 2012, I worked with Pon3 Gaming by managing their website and Teamspeak server. I remember starting with them when they were known as Froyoshark and were all about Minecraft. Those times have passed, now. I recently took my leave from the Pon3 community because of ideological differences between me and the owner. His personality left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, and I could no longer stand his methods of running a server.
I've considered running my own Minecraft server or general gaming community, but I'm missing one key point of having a community: the theme. It's what holds the community together and how people will find it. I don't want a general no-theme community where everyone does what they want. Those kind of communities usually fall apart quickly, unless they're lucky enough to survive somehow. What I want is a community that sticks together because of a common interest, such as My Little Pony or Doctor Who or something like that. The issue I'm having is, there are already too many MLP servers, Doctor Who is a difficult community to rally into playing a game, and almost anything else I could think of is one or the other.
I dont think that anyone that reads this is actually going to be able to give me ideas, because I don't have many readers. However, if you happen to have an idea that you think I'd like, be sure to comment below.
