Announcements / Modded Server Rule Change
« on: April 01, 2017, 04:18:02 pm »
Due to recent actions by some players, the modded server rule list has been updated to contain a list of actions that are specifically prohibited. While they may or may not actually be against the rules, doing them has the same penalties attached.

Announcements / Post Server Move Considerations
« on: March 23, 2017, 03:37:28 pm »
Now that the server move has been completed, and appears stable, we will be considering outstanding applications and suggestions that were put on hold until the move was finished.

@StickyMantis, and @Shifty your applications will be reviewed soon. The application format has received a slight change, so please make sure they're all up to shape today.

Tool and addon suggestions may take a bit longer to go through as they can have a major impact on server performance.

EDIT: Whoops. You can ignore the email you got about this sky. I forgot to move your thread out of the active application section.

Announcements / Small Server Upgrade Coming Soon!
« on: March 08, 2017, 07:47:09 pm »
Hello everyone, I have some good news today!

As part of transferring the server from @Bert John to me, we've managed to get a minor upgrade in for the same price. Everything will be switched out over the next few days. Besides a small amount of downtime during the move, there shouldn't be anything noticeable changing.

Please make sure to favorite the server so that its IP automatically updates after the move

  • Your SteamID field should NOT be of the form STEAM_X:Y:Z
  • Your SteamID field SHOULD be your SteamID64 or your Steam Community ID

Announcements / Community Survey Results
« on: February 02, 2017, 05:05:02 pm »
Hello everyone!

Our community survey has just finished, albeit with a very low number of responses compared to how many views the thread got. Anyone interested in the results can view them here.
The Results
Based on the results of the survey the following will happen:
  • A Patreon will be setup before the end of the month.
  • Donation benefits will be converted to rewards on Patreon
  • Several goals will be created in Patreon
  • The first goal will be to keep the server running as is.
  • The second will allow us to upgrade
  • Once we start meeting goals, we will begin the upgrade process
  • We will begin pruning inactive staff and recruiting new moderators.
Until that is complete, the server should continue running as is. If you have any suggestions on how to proceed with the process outlined above please let us know here.

Announcements / Important Community Announcement
« on: January 22, 2017, 12:00:26 am »
Hello everyone!

I know its not often that I actually email everyone, but I felt that this is important enough to warrant it. We have been running an important poll for the past two weeks in the Spacebuild announcements board. However the results of this poll affect everyone, so we want the most input possible. Currently, less than 10% of viewers have actually voted. So I am asking everyone to please go there and vote if you haven't already.

Thanks for your input!

If you don't want to receive emails about this stuff in the future, you can turn them off in notification settings.

Announcements / [Poll] [IMPORTANT] Future of The Server
« on: January 10, 2017, 09:36:32 pm »
PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE TAKING THE POLL
Poll Link: https://goo.gl/forms/u1JX9HyaIr4mYxe03

You will have to sign in to the poll, this is to help prevent duplicate responses. The poll will close on February 1.

Hello everyone! Myself, @Bert John and @kevinminion have been doing a lot of discussion about the future of the server lately. Due to personal reasons, Bert is unable to continue hosting the server in the future. Please do not ask for more details, it is up to Bert to share that with us if he wishes to.

As we don't want to have another period of prolonged downtime, the three of us have been working on a solution to this problem. After some discussion on the staff forum that really didn't go anywhere, I've been forced to make a decision with very little input. As such, I'm putting together a small poll to get more input before we finalize anything.

Our current plan is to upgrade the server to a new box on a new host before our current hosting plan runs out. This will help with a lot of the performance problems we have been having as of late, however it also doubles the current server bill. We are currently unable to pay for this entirely on our own, and our existing donation method has not been working so well. Due to this, I have decided to look into setting up a Patreon for the server. This would allow us to set multiple goals, and setup recurring donations. Donation benefits would be reworked slightly during the move. Existing donators would be able to keep their current perks for an as of yet undetermined period of time (I'm currently leaning towards at least 6 months).

We also want to get some community input as we've noticed several community members seem to be having some concerns about the server as of late. The last section of the poll has several questions regarding your experiences with the community and staff, and room for any suggestions you may have.

Additionally, we have been made aware that a few people have not yet received donator benefits. If you are one of these people please contact us ASAP and we will verify your donation and then give you your benefits. I will ping a few people that we believe may not yet have received their benefits below.
@Deadly Gageybage:P

Please take your time when filling out the form, and be as honest as possible.

Announcements / Reminder About Rules Regarding Cores
« on: November 05, 2016, 11:48:13 am »
Please remember, Asgard cores are forbidden. The ability of non-admins to spawn them is actually a bug. Using them is grounds for a temporary ban. Please stick to one of the 5 types of cores available to normal players. This bug is being investigated, and will be fixed soon.

Announcements / Important Rule Update
« on: October 11, 2016, 07:00:41 pm »
Effective immediately, the following rule is added to all BloxGaming GMod servers.

  • Sexually explicit language may not be used in chat.
Seriously guys, keep it to yourself. We have no desire to know what you want to do to animals in your spare time (not even kidding, someone started talking about this today).


Until this is added to the official rules list in the MOTD, admins will be enforcing this using rule #13.

Announcements / Admin Event 9/16/16
« on: September 13, 2016, 10:05:32 am »
Hi everyone, we've got another admin event planned for this Friday. It will be at 6:00 CDT. Thanks to @ToxicTeddy for suggesting the idea for this event.


Here's a brief overview:


A large and slow ship with admin boosted shields and armor will start at one edge of the map. The ship will be equipped with planet draining equipment and will start to move from planet to planet at the start of the event. The players will be required to kill it before it reaches spawn.


Some rules:
  • No nukes. This will be somewhat laggy already, we don't need a nuke adding to that.
  • No grob. You all know why.
  • All attacking ships must be normal cored ships, no CAP vehicles.
  • All other rules, including no ramming apply.
These rules may change without notice, please make sure to check back here before the event.

Spoiler: Behold. The SS Doom, Destroyer of Planets. • show
