Looking to the future...

One of the things I've been thinking about doing recently is starting my own gaming community. I mentioned doing so in my last post (located here), and like I mentioned there, I'm missing some key things that are needed to start a community. Things like a theme (the binding factor for the members), server type (What kind of server should it be? Survival? Creative? Hardcore?), and a name. The first and last are, in my opinion, the more important parts that I need to figure out before purchasing anything. and I'd need to figure out the theme before the name so that I don't give the community a bad name. Like if the community were based around Doctor Who, for example, I wouldn't name the community "Sherlock-craft" or something like that. Sure, I'm exaggerating with that example, but it gets the point across.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been a big part of my life recently, but it seems as though Minecraft servers for bronies are very abundant. This makes creating a pony-themed server difficult since all the really good names are taken already. Names like Brohoof, Pon3 Gaming, Ponycraft, My Little Minecraft, and others. No doubt there are even more pony servers out in the wild. Because of this, I'd prefer to stay away from MLP if I can, but there aren't many other interests of mine that would make for good Minecraft servers.

I can't really think of any ideas that aren't already taken (mostly because I'm not incredibly creative), so drop any of your own ideas down below in the comments. If I decide to use an idea from below, I'll be sure to contact whoever thought of it and ask permission to use it.

Major changes in my world

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.

that's it.

I don't post often...

But when I do, its probably relevant.

So I started school recently (second year of college) and so far, it's not bad. Our bandwidth restriction got changed (from 750mb per day to 1000mb per day), and my classes aren't terrible. But they're also not great.

My new roommate is pretty quiet, like me, so it's easy for us to get along. And my floor is mostly guys I know from last year, which is pretty cool.

I don't really know what else to say, so... Bye.

Whelp

I just deleted my tumblr account because it kept fucking up. The biggest one? Tumblr won't support anyone who uses "Missing e," which is the best browser extension for Tumblr because it adds more functionality than the tumblr developers know how to read, for any reason. So, say you email the tumblr support team about a URL issue but you have Missing e installed. They won't be able to help you because of your browser extension. This is almost as bad as if you had an iPhone and Apple couldn't replace it because you turned iCloud off. It's asinine.

The second biggest reason I deleted it was because I kept getting random posts posted to my "blog," if you can call a tumblr account a blog, that I never posted. So, either someone hacked my account and Tumblr had no way of knowing, or tumblr is just fucking retarded. I'm going for a bit of both, because even Facebook is smart enough to add location tracking to their user's logins so nothing goes wrong.

Tumblr, if you fix these things, I'll THINK about coming back. But I probably won't because Blogger is a lot better and they're nicer.

My job sucks

<p>I had to work twice as hard for normal pay. It hurts to lift my arms. I need to start lifting weights. </p>
