I really like the forum games so I decided to add another one, here's how you do it:

The first person lists five letters (W I T H G). The following person uses these letters as the first letter of each word in their sentence, like so Why is the hippo green? They then proceed to leave five of their own letters

Here's my first five letters for ya:
J I M F D

Server you were banned on (SMP): SMP

Minecraft name: __Jordan__

Reason for your ban: X-Ray

Who banned you: Star

Why should you be unbanned: The reason why I should be unbanned is because I realized what I've done wrong and I have realized that was definitely not an alright thing to have done. I never really thought I would bite the bullet like this but I've also heard of many great people getting the same shot that I just did. It was a very stupid thing for me to do. Realizing that Tpa-ing to get a glimps of single chunk loads to execute the areas where diamonds are was a very stupid idea that I was fully aware of doing. I would love to be unbanned to see all of my friends and see the whole community as one. I love all the people on here including the staff and I am a simplistic minded person. I will always have this in the back of my mind whenever I teleport to anyone. I am truly sorry for my behavior.

(I respect star very much for handing me what I've clearly deserved and I would like to keep seeing star and many other HT'ers as well)


Why do you want to come back: The reason why I really would like to come back is because I have some huge project that I have been currently working on. I have friends on there that I would love to still see and I would love to get back to my normal self. I would love to be apart of HT once again and I love to have fun on this server. I have an amazing time on there talking to friends and what not and this is the first time I've ever caused trouble like this. I've always taken my responsibilities on this server with a great deal of pride and a great deal of laughter along with a bunch of witty comments and that is how I see. I love making people happy on this server as well. I really do hope that I can come back. I know the consequences of what I've done are to the microscopic level of intolerable attitude and for that I can never forget what I've done. I came to HT to have fun and never wanted to cause a disturbance in such great beauty that this server has.

Seeing as the enchantment system has become considerably more grindy in 1.8, repairing enchanted tools a few times will make the price jump exponentially, to the point where it's impossible to repair.

A good game mechanic is one that fits in naturally with the vanilla game. When you want to have tools with decent enchants, what do you normally do?

If your answer is "buy access to or make an experience farm," it will further illustrate my point, Mr. Strawman I constructed to continue my argument.

Having to abuse game mechanics instead of earning it through normal gameplay is not good game design. Having your earned items become irreparable after a few hours of gameplay, and then having to spam click for the next few hours to get another one or repair it if it's still repairable, is not good game design.

I realize that having tools that last forever will disrupt the games balance as it will remove the need to continue searching for resources to further work on a building or other structure. This is Minecraft, you mine and you craft.

Look, what I'm saying is, the repair system we have right now is shitty and broken and isn't fun. Okay, let me cut to the point.

I realized that repairing tools at /warp repair will save me from several hours of grind. The only problem is that it's very expensive, $25 to repair a single tool and $250 to repair all items in your inventory.

I am not asking for it to be ridiculously cheap, as it will, again, feel too much like cheating.

I just ask for a reasonable price. Maybe $10-$15 or so, until Mojang fixes this balance issue. This will still add a cost to having a good tool, but not to the extent of mindlessly pressing the mouse button for a few hours in an experience farm.


Or, better yet, find a plugin that fixes this balance issue.

I understand that Hometown is vanilla, and I appreciate that. But some aspects of vanilla could be drastically improved and save people *cough* me *cough* a lot of time. Having a $10 or $15 repair sign will also require players to gather resources to sell to acquire enough net to repair, meaning it will still keep the economy and the sense of achievement going.

Zany, Lex, and I came together and decided to make a HomeTown Tumblr! After our previous attempts (and fails), we've made a brand new, finished (for now, at least) version of the HomeTown Tumblr. On this account, we will be posting screenshots from recent events, updates on the server/forums, etc.

The semi-offical Tumblr:

Server you were banned on (SMP): home town

Minecraft name: 155lightning

Reason for your ban: Using X-Ray mod

Who banned you: Star

Why should you be unbanned: I think I should be unbanned from home town because I sincerely love this server and I realized that my use of X-Ray mod was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made in Minecraft. I was playing with my friend on 1/2/16 and we were talking about how we both just installed the X-Ray mod and I was learning how to use the mod, and I accidentally hit the button for it and found out how to use it. As a result of me finding out how to use the mod, I went mining and used it to mine something like 42 diamonds or something around that number. I am sincerely sorry about using X-Ray mod and I would like to just forget about this incident and be able to come back on the server because me and some of my friends also got banned on the server and we all feel that this was one of the best semi vanilla servers we have ever been on. I realize that I made a terrible mistake and if I am lucky enough then I will be granted a second chance and I will never make the same mistake. So I if granted the ability to gain access once again on home town will never make the mistake and i will burn the items in lava that I got from using the mod, if I am not fortunate enough to gain access to hometown then I will forever leave this site alone and never bother anyone associated with this site again.

Why do you want to come back: As I stated above, because my friends and I used this server as like a meeting place to play semi vanilla Minecraft and just have fun together. Also I stated above and will restate it, that my friends and I believe that this was one of the best and if not the best semi vanilla server we have ever played on. So please consider my appeal and hopefully I will once again be on the great server of home town. Thank you so much for reading and considering my appeal.
Sincerely,
155lightning

doors dont close on right click
I am having issues with doors not closing on right click.
I have tried rebuilding new doors and placing them differently and still the same thing happens.

As there is no current page to view all the member ranks on the forum I decided to look at a mybb forum I am admin on and take a look at the default ranks and then share them.

The forum ranks order for the default mybb forum is:

Newbie - 0 posts

Junior Member - 1 post

Member - 50 posts 

Senior Member - 250 posts

Posting Freak - 750 posts

(Tempted to put this in the Problems section, but it's usually only a minority who have voting problems and there's not really anything to do about voting glitches anyway, so...yeah. Putting it here because Why do you do this to me, Sites?!)

I've been trying to vote every day each month on all three voting links.  Usually I'll get a glitch once in a while where the site lets me vote but then doesn't carry over to the server's Top Votes list.  However, this month has to be the strangest glitch yet for me. 
So there have been five days of voting so far.  The first day I voted on all three sites.  Everything was good.  The second day I voted on the first two sites, but the third insisted that I had already voted. Not only that, but when typing in the address or going to my favourites for it the site forwarded me to the Main Site with its list of servers and no voting for HT. It took me directly clicking the voting link from HT's site to get told I'd already voted. Okay, so maybe it had a different time reset and I'd gone over into the next day. Frustrating that I'd messed my voting for the month up, but it must be my fault, right? Well, move onto the third day.  First two links; Everything good.  Third link? Same. Thing. Once again, it seems convinced that I'd already voted and said Nope.  Meanwhile, Top Vote count kept going down for me since I could only vote twice a day thanks to Site Three. But okay. It's just a glitchy voting site. Maybe it will fix itself. Fourth day, nothing's changed. First two let me work, third took a direct click from the HT site to get to and still says I've voted already.  But I noticed something (and this is what really is weird to me). I've voted once on the third site this month. One vote on the Third Site has been counted on Top Votes. But the Third Site's personal vote count shows this:
http://prntscr.com/9mdanf
Apparently my ghost has been voting for me and I've four votes on the Third Site over four days. They still don't show up on Top Votes, sure, but this site sees them. Here would be the Top Votes list at the same time, bearing in mind I've voted every day on two sites and once on the third, but all think I've voted every day:
http://prntscr.com/9mdat3 (taken on Day 5, by the way)

So yeah. I have no idea, but the Third voting site is having fun fluffing me over and laughing while it does it.  Thought I'd share my meaningless frustration on here so you all have to know it too now ^-^ Good luck to all those trying for Top Voter!

Server you were banned on (SMP): SMP

Minecraft name: Evilpig920

Reason for your ban: Using alts during a temp ban

Who banned you: DK

Why should you be unbanned: I was having a lot of fun on the winter event, but I got temp banned for cheating, so I used an ALT account to bypass the temp ban. I was not planning on cheating with the alt account (Because I couldn't, and ill get banned). But I really wanted to play the winter event because it was fun. Hometown is a very good server because it is run very well and it has a stable economy. I am truly sorry and I will not do it again. 

Why do you want to come back: I really like hometown because there is a lot of potential for players to succeed. The economy is stable, and it is run well. I have quite a lot of friends on the server and they want me back. Lets hope we can get this conflict solved so we can learn to trust each other again.
