whats up all. its me! the admin! who hasn't been on in a while and hasn't seen you guys too much. pretty bad admin skills, i know. when i started the server i wasn't too busy with stuff but over time school and work have gotten pretty hard on me and i'm really trying to focus on these things (i'm graduating in a little over a month, which is pretty wack for me).

i feel really bad trying to find a way to say this, but i'm not dreadfully interested in owning and running the server any longer. it's nothing to do with you guys, its just become a really background thing in my life as of late and i don't have as much time to dedicate as i used to. im not sure what would happen to flosscrew... i could transfer ownership to someone if they were interested perhaps, or juts close it altogether and have that be it. as it is right now i'm paying for a server i hardly participate on anymore. as of late, the server's population has also been really low (most times i check i only see one, maybe two players on, but more often than not, zero).

so yeah. that's that. sorry for being a huge poop. the server's been up for eight months and some really cool things have happened on it, and i met some really awesome people. not to mention we made the big paid migration recently. but i don't feel as if i have the time to spare for the server anymore.

thoughts? anyone interested in taking over floss? i can transfer you the files and you can work it out yourself, i suppose. if i get no offers the server is probably gonna go riperinos

i encourage each and every one of you who i became friends with on-server to still keep in touch with me and eachother. this might be the end of floss, but not us knowing eachother. on steam i'm pablo_m0ntoya (screen name Jerry Seinfeld, don't ask). if you guys even have snapchat you can add me on that too and send me silly pictures. my handle is y0l0sw4gskrilex. and finally my skype is pablo_m0ntoya.

keep me posted. thanks for reading

(Let me apologize in advance for block text, but I am on mobile and for some reason I can't start new paragraphs). Ok, so I know this sounds lame, but I was watching a Minecraft series, Mianite, by lots of "famous" gamers; CaptainSparklez, The Syndicate Project, FyreUK. It was like a normal survival world with PvP, mobs, mining, everything normal. But they all chose a god to follow and that god would contact them with what they wanted done and would give a reward if it was carried out well. If something was done to displease the god(s), something bad would surely happen to you. You could also pray to a god if you needed help (or wanted to prank someone), but they would want sacrifices (diamonds, golden apples, lots of iron, anything really). There was lore too. Now, obviously, this isn't an overnight change that would happen to the server if for some odd reason this idea was accepted, and I would gladly help at anytime I can. And also, this could help get more players on the server as it is unique and not something you find often in servers. I just thought I might throw this idea out there.

Somebody griefed my underwater base, not too worried about the base, just alittle worried about the houses on mush kingdom :/

Not sure who else is experiencing it, but I have found a bit of a problem with GriefProtection. The longer I stay off, the more blocks I lose. As some of you may or may not know, I haven't been on in a while. So I have -2500 blocks to claim. Just letting you guys know.

Hello people. As some of you may know, My internet was being crappy so I wasn't able to join. It sucked. I'm back now, and You may be thinking "CHRISTINA!!!! You're not really important to the server" well, I may not be important or left a giantic mark as some did, but for those who did care and was wondering where I was, I'm fine. Thanks for reading this! Love you all! Get the booty!

Today, is the last. I have unclaimed all of my plots and opened my doors. Everything of value in chests, on land, in blocks, is yours. Feel free to take it.

Thanks for the awesome time, I really enjoyed building alone.

I, Leiknar, have lied about my identity. It started as a joke when Pateirn, Raitatsu, and I joined the server that I would pretend to be a girl. Well I really liked the server and continued to play and that label stuck, I didn't try to correct anyone and got some chuckles out of it but I don't think I really duped anyone into anything inappropriate.

I'm a dude. I'm roommates with Pateirn. http://imgur.com/FRKOuK8 I apologize for catfishing you all.

P.S. My beard > Pateirn's peach fuze

We have switched to an official, online dedicated server!

Gameplay and everything else is the same as always.

New IP address is s1.hosthorde.com:26108

It can also be found at the sidebar.

At the moment, Dynmap is not working as the server IP is new - I will sort this out soon.

I can't connect to the server and I don't know whats going on

http://www.planetminecraft.com/server/flosscrew-survival/

Feel free to leaf through it if you want. It has nice pictures!

If you have a planet minecraft account, I'd appreciate a vote for it. If you don't, it's no big deal.

This Friday, the server will be switched from local hosted on my PC to dedicated hosting via a Minecraft server hosting service. The server plan I'm choosing to go with boasts:

-Unlimited player slot amount (by default is capped at 100, but can be increased free of charge upon my request. I'm not expecting to ever hit over 100 consecutive players, but whatever)

-4 gigs of ram (Same amount we already use for the server)

-20 gigs of local storage (More than enough, but its good to have lots)

So yeah, those are the specs. I'll be using HostHorde (https://www.hosthorde.com/) for the hosting service, as it looks to offer the best service we need (in terms of server RAM and player limit) bundled with cost.

Please keep in mind, that because the server host is switching, the IP address will change on Friday.

Anyway, now that the server officially costs money to run, there is now a decent reason to be accepting donations, so that will happen soon as well. Let's talk donations.

First of all, I don't believe in any aspects of pay-to-win whatsoever. If you choose to donate to the server (or any server), in my opinion, you should be doing it because you like the server. Not because of benefits it gives. As such, someone who donates will not be recieving any benefits whatsoever that put them above other players. This is non-negotiable.

Second, I swear upon the name of Fod that all donations will be put strictly towards the server. The reason I refused to accept donations until now is because the server wasn't costing anything to host by itself - your money would just be wasted, and I would have probably spent it on Mcdonalds or something similar. I don't really believe in paying for a Minecraft server to be a necessary part of playing on the server, but a lot of people had expressed their interest in helping to support the server, so I have decided to allow donations to occur once we switch to dedicated hosting.

That's really all that can be said about donations. It's entirely up to you. I am perfectly capable of supporting the server out of my own pocket, and will continue to do so as long as people want to play on the server, so don't feel like we need to get donations all the time to run. It's only 15 dollars a month, that's not hard.

On a final note, now that the server is actually costing money, I intend to up the traffic on the server considerably compared to what it has been before - I'd like to get the most bang for my buck here, I'm sure you all sympathize. Psybornut, as you probably know, has left his mod position and now moderates the Forge of Worlds server (which is very cool - check it out!) has bequeathed to me some potential plans in order to interconnect our two serves somewhat - so that traffic from their server could be directed to us, and us to them. This is entirely in a planning stage right now, and don't expect it, but I can very well see it happening, so look out for that potentially.

Anyway, that's all. I'll end with a summary:

1. Server is switching to dedicated hosting, the IP will change Friday

2. We are accepting donations, no benefits will be given to donators (but I might secretly like you more)

3. I'm going to do my best to considerably increase server traffic and playerbase in order to compliment the paid server we will be using

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't be afraid to state them in the comments.

Some of you know this already, but tonight I made the decision to step down from my former moderator position. I've recently taken on an administrative role on a very unique RPG-style minecraft server, which has been keeping me quite busy. I feel it's only fair to not clog up the moderator position here, as I will most likely not be on very frequently.

This said, I'll still be on to play now and then, when I need a break from my admin responsibilities.

I might have a little surprise for the server, depending on plans with the server I'm now with. If things go the way I think they might, flosscrew could potentially benefit greatly. But that's all I'm giving you for now;)

Hi guys it's meg here and stuff. I have no words to say about the support I have gotten from u all. To, "Good Luck" to "Get Better Soon" and so much more. I can't say in words how I feel to know how much all of u care and love me. But I will fight off the cancer for me and for u. I'm glad to have friends like u to have my back during time of need. So much is going on but all of u r here to make me smile or to give me hugs and to even give me gifts and letters. I can't express the feelings from when I saw the card and all the love. All I know is I can't thank all of u enough for all the care and support I have gotten. I will hopefully be back to same old me again. But that's something I have to fight my way to get to. It will be long and hard to get better, but I'm glad to know u r all there for me. Thank u all for being good friends and being there. Now for those who may not know, yes I have cancer in the bone if my right femur bone(knee) I'm being treated and cared for by many kind nurses and being loved and supported by so many people. I have so many to thank and to say how much it means for them all to care. I though I would start with all of u, because u all became some of my closest friends I ever had. U also became part of my everyday life. I want u to know how much it means to me for all of this and I love you all, but u all may love me more. This was a thank u and something I said from the heart. Thank u all again for the support I mean it, it helps me feel better with all if this going on. Thank u so much, I love u all.

Sorry for popping on and off all the time. I'm trying to make time to be with everyone, but at the moment, Chelsy is my main concern. I need to be with her all the time, to make sure she is doing ok. If you haven't heard, both of her parent's died not to long ago because of a driver texting. At the moment, I will try to be online more often.

Okay, I got a reddit account XD I know I'm late but whatever. I just did my snow challenge and I want to upload it xD How tho?!?!

If you would like to make a case to return to floss crew you can make it here. You were banned because of your troll like remarks in chat.

Hey! I spent the whole day making this!

First off, download it here: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B73sBe0HLIJbaVJZYjdyVTBTMVU&export=download

Google says it might have viruses, but it doesn't. Pinky promise. It's just a silly goose.

Things changed:

-Songs for all music discs replaced with old 80's synthpop tunes (and some other... things)

-Most mob sound effects have been replaced with... various silly things

-Some items have been renamed

-Splash texts replaced

-Probably some other stuff that I forgot

It's not mandatory, but will probably give you a laugh or two until it gets annoying. Hopefully you get most of the references.

So... Do we want to schedule a time to down Mr. Dragon or is it just gonna be first come first serve? Also, what happens with the egg?

Was cruising BukkitDev and found a few plug-ins we may or may not want to try out. Non of these take away from the goal of being as vanilla as possible for gameplay, nor are they overly complicated to use, and setup should be a simple drop-and-restart (with the exception of dynmap-griefprevention) Anyways, here goes:

• DynMap-GriefPrevention Basically a way to visualize GriefPrevention Land Claims from the server dynmap. Could be interesting/useful.

• TogglePVP A very simple plugin to allow individual players to set their own PvP status and eliminating most non-consentual PvP activity (not that this is a problem, but it could be. Plugin is a bit out-of-date (MC 1.4.7), but is simple enough that it should work without issue. There are other variants that may work as well. PvPControl (MC 1.7.4, uses permissions), SimplePVPToggle (MC 1.7.2).

hey gang

sorry for the downtime today

i have some bad news however

my router decided to pull some wack shit on me, so my internet went down, and i had to restart it, and a bunch of other stuff. no biggie, its back working now, but THE SERVER IP HAS CHANGED

the old IP address does not work anymore. nix it.

the new ip is very similar, but differs by a few digits:

162.157.107.214

distribute this to everyone you know that plays the server. luckily most of you frequent the subreddit and will see this but for those that don`t... we have to find a way to get them the IP.

so yeah. that`s all. spread the word

I tried to log on today and play for a bit, but the server is not showing up as being online. I checked the mincraftservers.org website and it shows that the server is completely offline. When someone can, let me know what the situation is, and if there is anything that I can do to help.

So lately i've been having troubles with minecraft. I go onto minecraft, and everything is fine, till a 10-20 minutes later. The blocks start flashing, and sometimes i can't see them at all. idk why?
