BloxGaming SB3 / Re: A way to get more people for only $6
« on: July 28, 2017, 12:21:57 pm »
Would a demonstration of this script be useful?


I don't think you understand what were trying to show here mario. We don't want "What every other server has", We want something unique to Bloxgaming, Something most servers dont have practical or useful uses for but we do, such as gravity hull dingy tool.


Not saying it has to be unique but stuff like this is a no, we dont need it, Its like going onto RP Servers and demanding there be money printers.

How the heck would this attract anyone or want them to stay on the server? We need something fresh, something that's either completely new or something that's been missed for so long that people will come so they can experience it again.


Like LS Cores  ;)

A long time ago, On a garrys mod 12 server not too different from this one.


There used to be Factions, And "Ice Mining & Refining". These asteroids weren't able to be teleported and required special devices and transport to be harvested. You would then take the refined resource to a terminal on earth and sell the ice for a profit. This money would go into your factions bank to pay for ship core upgrades.


What happened to it, iirc it broke.

Im in the same boat as Bloxgate here, I havent seen you lately or what you've been doing or how you're doing, So i can't give an accurate opinion here. If what kevin says is right, And some other staff can back a similar statement, I think i could back you given others backing.

Let me put it this way, My vote will almost always be neutral or negative for you troll. You can however over-turn my decision if you had lets say 80% of positive votes. But given your reputation, I highly doubt that will happen, Even with Deadly's backing or anothers.

You literally joined the server, Ignored EVERYONE on the server who knew you(Mario, Death, Troll, Etc) and came up to me(I have no idea who you were up until today, Was away for 2+ Months) and say "Hi N*** Bert". I Warned you, Kicked you and then proceeded to ban you. You had full intention of being a mingebag on the server and i don't feel any remorse or sympathy for whether or not you had a bad day or not. Then not only that, you proceeded to spawn an annoying buzz e2, Then proceeded to call me father.


I am a tolerant person, Truly, I don't ban or kick often, its quite rare unless your asking for it. Iv let people do all sorts of shit, PvP on spawn, Nukes, Whatever, just aslong as everyones getting along i don't really care what your doing, That and your not suffocating spawn.



Thus, Unless some other owner feels differently, I don't see any reason to lift it any sooner than what it is.

Announcements / Re: [Poll] [IMPORTANT] Future of The Server
« on: January 11, 2017, 05:30:04 am »
To make things easier for blox and you all to understand, my intention at first getting my job was:


-Buy new stuff for myself, new clothing as the old ones are YEARS old and small.
-Buy a new bed, a new desk, new chair, new dresser, etc. iv done like half of these in 10 months.
-Buy a amazing server box, in similar quality if not better than my computer(i7 6700k @ 4.0ghz/32gb of ddr4 ram/gtx 1080/SSD)


However, Iv hardly been able to complete any of these goals for one reason:


TOO MANY BILLS.


My rent is 500$ Monthly, Then 80$ for rides, then another 60$~ For food monthly, excluding any amount of junk food(Which is usually 30$~60$~), then i got netflix, crunchyroll, funimation bills, and last but not least, the server at like 50$ Monthly.


Add that all together, im spending almost 800$ a month. That leaves me with only 300-400$ left in the bank per month. And with the recent purchase of a new bed, and acquiring a new chair as a christmas present, im now broke relatively again. thus im cutting some expenses like my funimation and server bills, cutting back on some junk food so i can finish more of my goals.


Now, For the current server, i am still paying for january, and probably feb, but ill probably be stopping the billing there. The account still has an extra 35$ in it so it'l last another month after my billing stops but thats it. ill be notifying blox when i cancel my billing so he can begin backing stuff up appropriately.


I personally would like to pass hosting over to someone else like @kevinminion who is the biggest donator we have, but i haven't heard back from him at all on that thought.






Lastly, i will still pitch in donations every once in awhile, but reoccuring payments of 60$ is a  no go from me, i can spare some money but not that all the time. like i wouldnt be opposed to setting up a 10$ CAD reoccurring donation for the patreon either.

Yea, we need to find a way to put a limit on the scaling so people don't abuse it.


Some kind of limiter or not, It'd still cause problems.


This tool isn't fit for SB, Maybe sandbox where most things are Static, But not SB where everything is almost based upon dynamic gameplay.

BloxGaming SB3 / Re: BLOX WTF
« on: November 15, 2016, 10:50:51 am »
Well if you had asked me, I would have told you exactly what is going on. Iv talked to Bloxgate about my plans, We keep revising them slightly every now and again, so its best to just ask me instead.


Iv already told many people the plans, but ill post it here, again.


Here's how the donations, Server bills, Server upgrade, and how Bloxgaming is operating now, compared to before, and how it will be operating in the future.


Donations:


All donation's are sent to my PayPal account. All Donations, Marked on the Pitchin page are stated to be used for Server Bills, As seen here: https://bloxgaming.com/forum/index.php/topic,580.0.html
Now, What is the server bill, Why do we have a shitty server but such a bill?
Our server bill is roughly 40$ USD Monthly. All donation's help keep me out of pulling money out of my own pocket for this temporary server that we're using now. Reminder: This server is temporary.
Note: If your wondering why we don't just rent slotted servers, we need: A proper CPU for SB, And we have other stuff running on the server box like MC/TS/Etc.


In order for us to get a serious upgrade, We're gonna either have to find someone who can put out 200-300$ USD Monthly, Or, Buy/Build our own Server box. I, Obviously am doing the latter. The whole purpose of the pitchin is to keep me from pulling money out of my own pocket, So i can save up sufficient funds to buy a proper server box for us. I already blew 2300$ CAD On my current PC, That took about 4 month's. Also it doesn't help that im the ONLY one pitching in to pay for this server, But then again, This server box is going to be coming out of my own pocket, thus i own it entirely. You're 80$ USD Was used to pay for server bills(As is every other donation).


If your wondering why its taking me so long, Im not cheaping out on this server box. Im only buying one, and im not buying replacement parts every other year. Thus im buying a good one and leaving management to bloxgate. In exchange i get what i want hosted on it, and he gets his community and whatever else he wants hosted on it.


How is Bloxgaming tied into all this? Why is it all this way?


I like Bloxgaming, It had most of the old Forge SB Content, While a lot of it is now missing(Which is sad), I still enjoy it. However, Bloxgate can no longer host it, So im hosting it on a temporary server box until i can purchase my own, We will then transition over to that.






I hope that clears everything up for now. I do not appreciate the attitude i am recieving as i could easily just click Cancel Subscription on the server box, Let it run on its current month and its backup 35$ USD in its account and eventually turn off completely. Most of the bills here are out of my own pocket, And money isn't something you can just pull out of my ass.


ill Give you a little run down on an example pay check.


Let's say you make 16$ CAD An hour. sound's like a lot right? You make 1,280$ CAD every pay check. But then you get tax's. First, You have Government, Then you have Provincial tax's. Both total up to 13%. That's 166$ gone. Then if your in a union(Which is highly likely as most job's nowadays that pay higher then minimum wage have a union involved) you have union fee's. These range from 25 to 50$ every week. In my case, I pay over 100$ In union fee's per check. 110$ to be exact. So were at 276$ Less right off the bat. Then we have RPC, Which is about 40$, then we have EI which is about 40$, then we have Social commiti which is 1$. So over-all, In a single check, im only getting about 75% Of what i make right off the bat. And im not even making 16$, im far less.


Then i got my own bills, From life. Such as Rent, Food, Gas. While these are over-all cheap(About 150$/200$ Every check), It still takes its toll.








Now your probably thinking "Well fuck, we're never gonna get the upgrade". Well while your not wrong to think that it's gonna be forever until it happens, Let me put this in perspective. I had to wait 4 month's to buy my PC, That's 8/9 Pay checks. Additionally its now almost Christmas and iv already dissed out 150$ On presents, Tho that was for my niece, I expect to spend another 50 to 100 on the rest.


If you got a problem with how i spend my money, Please, Oh so please take over and fund Bloxgaming yourself. You get a fancy title of Owner, Responsibilities to keep the server up and going, Oh and a ton of people bitching at you, A big server bill.... It's a lovely deal. So please, Step in if you have the guts to dedicate a huge portion of your own money to this community.


Requirements to host Bloxgaming:


-Surrender complete control of the Box to Bloxgate
-Obey the rules set by Bloxgate
-Pay the server bills(40$USD Or more, up to 399$ USD Monthly)
*Optional*-Ability to have entitled people bitch at you and not bark back.






Like you know, With the money i put towards this community, i could'v bought myself Battlefield 1, Dishonored, Civ 6, Stonehearth, And a few others. But i didn't, I put it towards this community.
