Maybe some of us can re-unite under a new banner. I do want to take the helm, same as this, as that has been one of my aspirations. Along with making content, leading it and watching it grow. I will take with me the knowledge I learned here, as well as the mistakes I learned from, with the aspiration of modernizing the community, should it be in Minecraft itself, or some other venture.

I really don't know what the future holds, but time will tell. Also, I want to do things right with a co-owner, something I had in Code Speak, but not since then. Do things right, or the past will just creep up again.

Very tough reading this. Innectis has been the server I have spent the most time on, period. I met a lot of people on this server, had some ups and downs, and it was more than just a game to me. I legit grew to like a lot of people here. Even if this server is gone, the memories will remain.

To anyone I have had some unresolved problems with, I'm sorry. For anyone who wants to keep contact with me, my skype is canadianguy01 if you still use it. My twitter is @TheCanadianR and if you guys keep Innectis around as a "gaming community" and keep the discord, maybe I'll join it.

Joel, as much as people have given you crap, you are not a failure. You did you dam best as owner and I'm grateful for that. I guess it is just, like anything you love, it just doesn't give the same level of joy as it once did. I was lucky to be on here as a moderator and a community member. From me joining the server as that guy in the hockey skin, to the beaver, to...uhhh....girl skins (#blameMerc)I have grown on here along with countless others. Over 100 days worth on the server, countless blocks, lots, smiles and more.

Thank you, Joel, and if I don't talk to you guys after this...it's been amazing. Thank you.

Thanks Joel, this is kind of bittersweet. As much as I wanted to see you step down, I very much wanted you to prove me wrong, and right this sinking ship. I hope there is somebody out there who can make this something new and fresh. Thanks for all the hours you put in, I've never known someone to put so much time into something for no financial gain, so for that, I commend you.

Innectis certainly had a good run with many good years of memories. I know it is cliche, but all things come to an end.

It may be disheartening, but remember that it isn't all over. Friends were made and they can come along to the next great thing of yours! I wouldn't be surprised to see some self-hosted IDP-based servers popping up with the release of the source on Github. Perhaps we can distribute old world dumps along with it.

Thank you for all you've done Alpha. Wouldn't have made it this far without your hard work and dedication.

Pardon the play on Hret's resignation post, but I think my role as owner of Innectis has come to an end. I don't really have much to say about it, but I really lost a lot of passion over the years, and kept making excuses against that. I wanted to make this community into something great, eventually into a studio, but it really sucks when people just aren't motivated enough to do anything. I haven't been very happy coming into this year, and I need to release everything and find something new.

I don't know what that would be, but it has to be something new, whether it's in the Minecraft sphere, or something else, but I need to move on with my life somehow. I've made a lot of mistakes in this community, and I'm glad to have learned from at least some of them, that can then be applied somewhere else. Who knows what my next big venture is, but it has to be something good.

I have lost friends over this community, and that's not cool. To those who I wronged, I am sorry, I am only human. I have some personality flaws that showed through in this community and that shouldn't happen. The good thing, however, is that I can learn from those mistakes. If those of you I wronged would like to have a conversation with me then please find me and we'll chat it up and I can hopefully explain myself.

So you guys are probably thinking right about now, what happens now? Well, I'm not sure. I don't want this community to fade into history, and would like that others are there to replace me. I don't know though, we'll see. There is at least a month's time left for the payment cycle to end, so I'm sure I'll think of something then.

As for the IDP I think I may put it on github for anyone to fork and possibly continue development on.

Sorry, don't really want to say much more, so I'll leave it at that.

Announcements / Innectians, what do you choose...

« Last post by Vector on February 02, 2017, 11:39:52 AM »

This has been sent out in a newsletter, but for the sake of feedback I have chosen to include it here as well.

It's been awhile since I had a bulletin, and I think this needs to be said more than anything. Innectis is around 5 years and 8 months old at this point, and has lost most of its playerbase to other games, or other Minecraft servers.

We have not kept up with the current climate for a long time, and that needs to change. Either with fresh new staff, or with an entirely different community. It's tiring to see the topic of Innectis barely come up at all. That's alarming, especially when you oversee the community. I really hate to see the community go the way it is.

I was not happy coming into 2017, with the current situation and lack of enthusiasm from others. It's been a month and a half since the rest of the staff have done anything. We're all burned out in some way or another. In the last few weeks I have been feeling so conflicted, even losing motivation, but recently have gotten some energy to work on the community. Either way, this year did not start well for me.

Is this the year we will fade into history, or is it the year that people step up to make this community something great? It's hard to find motivation to do much now. We were a lot more active years ago, but it would be nice to find motivation again.

We need a conversation, a good conversation. We need to take a stand and do something, because if we don't, this community will just fade into the annals of history. I already tried a conversation before, but that didn't go over very well. I'm willing to give it another shot, this time trying to get a good direction for the future and possibly some fresh blood to help out with getting us there.

I have created a channel in discord called #next-step to talk about where we are, and what we can do moving forward. Let's step it up, or walk away trying. I'll have the conversation there, and I'd like to include as many people as I can. I don't know if this will work, but there's no harm in trying. There's no set schedule for the conversation, just show up and add to the conversation what you can. This is something I've wanted to have since the situation in August. This has affected me more than anyone else, but it also impacts everything else. This isn't just my community, but its all of ours.

If you are not already on discord, use this link: http://discord.innectis.net (just click it, do not type this into your discord program), and you will get sent into our discord. See you there!

Build-A-Feature / Re: Leveling System

« Last post by SGT_ADZ on January 20, 2017, 07:12:21 PM »

Just replicate McMMO, it's a perfect system and there's nothing wrong with it.

Meh, only so much a one-man development team wants to do. Sorry this has spun around for such a long time, but does no one have ideas for a system that can be wrapped around our features?

Let's hear from some other people on this matter too. I know you've had your fair share of cents to add to this discussion.

*Glances at players online in last 24 hours*
Gonna go with no... :/
