If anyone's interested in a decent vanilla server, the reddit group's got a pretty good one going. And the people are nice. 160 player limit, too.

Yogscast makes me cry the way they've been fumbling about in their new Yogcraft FTB pack. Frankly any of the packs can be quite overwhelming at first, after a while you do get more use to them. Personally if I were introducing someone to Minecraft for the first time I'd advise them to stick with Vanilla at first until they got their feet under them. If you really want to learn FTB I'd highly suggestDirewolf20'syoutube channel. Start watching his Season 5 Let's play and he'll teach you a ton of stuff.feed the beast vids (yogscast),
I'm trying to keep it vanilla to start. I always have the option of throwing FTB or Tekkit Lite/Classic in there.I am pretty sure I wouldn't even know how to play without many of the FTB mods anymore. McFly, I'm assuming your new server is vanilla except for the security plugins you mentioned?
I am in the process of creating a spawn area that will be large enough to house community chests, nether portal, potion crafting, enchanting area, anvil area etc.Can we take the community atmosphere a little further and have a community mine/chest farm?
It's cool if people drop off. If its enjoyable for 2 weeks; that's 2 weeks of enjoyment. Especially if I start to hunt you guys down. I have a feeling it will become Mcfly Vs. Everyone. ;-)I look forward to it being a ghost town in 2 weeks
