    More news about FTB's Future. (Important announcement)

    That doesn't stop advertisers from continuing to operate in spite of work-arounds like AdBlock Plus and NoScript. ABP does completely remove YouTube adverts, FYI. So how in the world do they justify it? I'm pretty sure there's more to marketing than you're pretending to know.

    More news about FTB's Future. (Important announcement)

    Don't be so sure. Ever notice that FTB intro screen when you fire up Minecraft from the launcher? What if they injected an advert there, and you had to sit through that every time you start?

    The future of FTB Modpacks pt 2

    Important - For Users of Direwolf20_1_5 Modpack - Urgent feedback needed.

    While I love the idea of compatibility with existing worlds, the pack is extremely new and it sounds like the big plan is to keep it synchronized with others for speedy updates. The worlds made with the pack can't be that far along, so sacrificing them for the chance to nip the problems at the...
