 this was mostly in reply to what you posted, hence what i said.
 
 
 ive only ever seen tps drop when multiple ppl are loading new chunks.
 >> That's cause I've made the server so that it doesn't
 *** "the Tech server has been a constant battle for me; trying to balance tps" ???
 >>>> 2 people exploring is enough to give constant lag spikes - still have issues >.<
 ***** yea ive seen that happen. im guessing its more of a hardware issue than something that
       can be tweaked serverside.
 >>>>>> Pretty sure it's caused my Natura, it wasn't doing it until I added that
 ******* wouldnt doubt it. theres a couple things i like from natura(more things to do in the nether), but for the most part, bleh
 >>>>>>>> Yeah I really regret adding it
 
 
 we have lost so many regulars do to the resets already.
 >> They're getting bored of doing the same thing every single reset
 *** because it reset so much in so little time
 >>>> People get bored after completing all the mods, which is what happens before every reset, I always leave enough time that I could have completed all the mods twice over before reseting, plus, the longer we go, the more risk we have of corruption, among the restrictions for updates etc.
 ***** i still question that. it reset in may, august, and September? only a few months between resets at most.
       barely time to get started. plus, ive seen many come back after taking a break, which is normal, people do irl stuff,
       play new games for a bit, but they almost always came back and ragequit due to a reset. im not saying a reset isnt
       necessary sometimes, they just need to be as spread out as possible.
 >>>>>> That was for a test map to try out new mods, and I know, but with 1.7.10 being still new in the modding world, major updates were coming in thick and fast, was hard to avoid resetting the map regularly until recently. I always envisioned the current map to last 8-12 months.
 ******* yea, i can understand for updates.
 
 we lose more players due to the process of getting memeber rank than anything lately.
 >> The people who can't be arsed getting member really don't deserve to play on the servers
 *** normally i would agree with you, but it is a very long process to join enjin, and you mentioned ditching that part b4
 >>>> Enjin adds way too much for us to ditch it, it's just the way it's going to have to say, one way or another
 ***** true, though i still like the idea of using a timer to add ppl to memeber rank. they play for a set amount of time,
       and they get added to member rank.
 >>>>>> But then things like votefly, donating, technic become so much harder, if not impossible to do, In fact I already tried doing the votefly without Enjin and I couldn't manage it.
 ******* thats what i mean, keep enjin for all that cause we need it and it makes those things so much easier. its just member rank that id like to see on a timer system.
 >>>>>>>> We'd then have to add another rank, after member for Enjin
 
 every new player that i have seen join, always gets straight into the tech mods.
 >> Well the pack is advertised as Tech
 *** "50% of the players we get aren't interested in actually learning how to use the Tech mods" ???
 >>>> I was referring to the kids, the ones that constantly ask for stuff and ask for help and don't learn for themselves
 ***** yea, we've had a couple of those lately, but thats the same for every minecraft server out there, even the vanilla ones.
       it gives the helpers something to do.  although i havent seen any helpers on lately.
 >>>>>> That's cause there aren't any for the Tech server
 ******* isnt choccy helper? i forget... havent seen him on in a while. i do know that if i see him say that
         it was a demotion one more time, im gonna snap...
 >>>>>>>> Forgot about Choccy, yeah I think he is one
 
 
 we havent had any issues with rules lately at all, although i still want a reduction on some of the rules
 to bring on a more relaxed environment.
 >> That's kinda the point, but strict rules are what we need to keep the little kids from driving us crazy
 *** "so we can unban half the items and reduce some of the chat rules"
 >>>> I guess I worded that wrong too, I meant the point in reducing the rules in a private server would bring on a more relaxed environment, but as it is, we can't
 ***** i think we could implement some small changes already, like the swearing rule,
       ppl can as long as they stick to the no harassment rule and dont go overboard with it
 >>>>>> I'm happy to reduce that rule if you and Dustin are, I'll do it later if you like
 ******* i'll talk to him about it next time i see him on, hes been having net issues lately so idk when that will be
 >>>>>>>> I just changed it, give it a read and see what you think
 
 
 i havent seen anyone ragequit due to the tech mods, a few have due to the hunger overhaul.
 >> That's cause I haven't toned them up as much as I wanted, I wanted to add the spice of life on top of hunger overhaul
 *** not a good idea, ppl already struggle to get started. new players, and regulars alike, die constantly.
     sure, a bit of challenge is good for the players that have been on for ages and have the gear to survive,
     but considering the rest...
 >>>> Well of course I'd have to re-do alot, give proper starter packs and such
 ***** yea, more balance work
-we havent talked this much in a while lol
+
 ******* cant please everyone. i hated trying to balance everything, so much work
 >>>>>>>> Too much work, why do you think I've been hiding on EL? xD
 
 
 such a wall of text  xD
 we havent talked this much in a while lol
 >> It's been long due, that's for sure
