Where has everybody gone?

I've said this before, but I'm very busy right now - what with the results coming out soon - and even if I had the time, I'd be too preoccupied with procrastinating on having fun in Minecraft.

That said, I still manage most of my duties here, even though there hasn't been very many of them as of late.

I can't answer most of your questions, being but a hobbyist, but I've got a workable knowledge of C++. It's enough for me to reasonably be able to program what I'd like to, and I don't have much ambition beyond that.

I'm messing around with Haskell and Java, but that's nowhere near practical yet.

A rough estimate of how long it would take to become -decent- at coding *INSERT LANGUAGE HERE* would be nice, too.

Depends on what "decent" is for you. Expect it to probably be on the level of years for some skill, though.

PCI, as mentioned by those before me, limits your options greatly. I'd normally recommend saving your money from now on or splooging more for a more updated setup (your computer is the kind of thing I'd only have around as a home file server or some other kind of low-demand application), but looking at your situation, that clearly isn't an option.

I'm going to assume you live in the US, as that's where the usual requests come from.

This is the cheapest card that has DX9, a PCI slot and >256MB of RAM, and is priced at $44. Though not mentioned on the page, it does have Pixel Shader compatibility up to 3.0. Keep in mind that this is most likely a downgrade from a Radeon 9250.

Jesus Christ, would you guys mind spoilering the massive list of names?

This is one of those rare times where I wish I could edit other people's posts.

Do we need to send a PM  or something to join?

Please, try to read the OP of a topic before posting something. It's just common sense.

EDIT:

So I am being stupid again, How do I apply to join the project server again???
Totally Blind right now...

FAKE EDIT::: Ah there it is...

It was mentioned both in the whitelisting email and in the OP.

The redstone in the Chickenmaker is jammed. The input wire is now permanently on, and one piston in the counting mechanism refuses to actuate.

There may be more malfunctions, but those are the ones I spotted.

EDIT: As far as I can see, all the damage in Akroma's farm has been fixed. I've also taken the liberty to plant a few more crops there.

Hi all, I've been thinking of signing up for this, because I've given up trying to get my friends on our server more (at all) and have been wanting to play Minecraft multiplayer more. The one question I have is this. I suck at asthetic building atm.

"Aesthetic". :p

So, would people yell at me for slightly ugly buildings on the open server, or would I get constructive feedback on improving? I'd understand if people would prefer nice-looking stuff on the server, so if that was the case, I'd just wait until I improve my design abilities more before even bothering to sign up...

Decent design ability is only a prereq. if you want to be part of Project, and even then there's ample room for exceptions.

The only requirement for Open is to be able to be a responsible and well-behaved player. If you think you can manage that, then send an email address as per the instructions in the OP (yanno, that post you were supposed to read before posting here).

That said, remember to talk to people and ask what they think of things instead of building willy-nilly. Careful and considerate wins the day.

There wasn't any clues at all.
I mean I went to the .com site and it had contacts which was not even a proper link. Then I double checked a ton of things before I asked... Its prob staring me in the face...

This is from the OP, which, by the way, you probably should have read (it's just common sense).

Email us (@ nowherepublishing.com, PlanehackedWhitelist) to get added to the whitelist. Tell me the best part of Dwarf Fortress in that E-mail. Read the RULES.
CONTACT lordnincompoop, shadowsofwhite and Osmosis Jones to join the Project server! Send them a PM!

I'm having a very difficult time understanding how you could have missed this, since it's literally the seventh line down from the top and in big, bold letters.

Who's the server's best redstone engineer? I demand he build a rotating wall.

Build it yourself. You were probably only saying this light-heartedly, but the builders aren't exactly bound to your bidding. You will be much better received, and you will practice some important skills if you attempt to build it yourself and learn from your experiences. Who knows - if people see you building earnestly, with a real desire to learn and take initiative, maybe they'll help out.

So, cut it out, and paste it onto the map along with eisenhauge, then trim off all the surrounding blocks and let the generator have some fun?

Pretty much.

I'd also like to request that WorldEdit again become a permanent feature in Planehacked: I think we're all mature enough now to real with it responsibly, and for laying out designs and making designations, nothing else does it quite as well as WorldEdit.
