How long I have been playing Minecraft: just under a year.
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast: Since release :3
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are: Currently forestry bee keeping is my fav. but red power has a special place in my heart still
The thing I enjoy most about the game is: BUILDING! whatever i fancy :3
Unfortunately that may not be possible. The server is currently down until the issue is solved. Some of you may be aware that my internet speeds are terrible and bandwidth is minuscule; and those that have played on or ran servers before may realise what needs to be done to rectify this problem. Rest assured, the world has already been downloaded and a team of us are currently scouting for the location of the IO block. We will hopefully have the server restored shortly.
I'd like to also thank Wongger for his incredible honesty and maturity about the situation, and with his help the process has been a lot quicker. This whole issue was a complete accident, and accidents happen! I have no problems with this! Hey, even the official MindCrack does this (and more often than you'd think). Hope to see you all back on Arelia as soon as we can get you there. Thanks.
How long have I been playing MineCraft: I have been playing since a few versions prior to Alpha 1.2.6
How long have I been playing Feed the Beast: Not very long but I am ready to experience the new content and learn.
My favorite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack are: I enjoy ComputerCraft. I enjoy messing with the internal language to the mod and expanding capabilities farther than even I could have imagined. This mod allows me to express my true creativity in minecraft.
The thing I enjoy about the game is: I enjoy creating structures, programs, etc., and seeing them succeed and thriving of that success to begin a new project and further my development on whatever it may be I am putting my time towards.
I am ripcord1's friend and am working with him in the game. I look forward to expanding with the server. He referred me to this server.
I moved house! Again! Yay! Now my internet's download speed is... you excited for this?..
< 0.01Mbps! That's right folks! Try connecting to Skype at about 1KBps, or accessing a control panel. I'm going to have to work out a solution to this shortly. For now, Blockolot, can you add stirky on Skype if you haven't already and ask him to text me - my phone's also playing up.
Thanks to donations, the server has been able to get a rather nice upgrade. With myself (semi) out of the action, I'm entrusting Blockolot with server restarts when the server crashes, but I hope it won't do that as much as before. On a good note, I've finally found a 3G connection. (Yes, I have spent all of my Sunday scouring my entire house for the best place to put the mobile broadband router.) Hopefully it'll stay connected for the duration of my stay here, but I can't be too sure.

How long I have been playing Minecraft: since the beginning
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast: 9 months
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are: industrialcraft
The thing I enjoy most about the game is: building
This person clearly has put no time, thought or effort in to creating his application. His answers are very short, and flat out wrong! You'd be amazed and how many people say they've been playing Feed the Beast since before it came out!
Example of a better application that would be accepted:
My in-game name: Robbo905
How long I have been playing Minecraft: I have been playing Minecraft since Beta 1.3_01 and have played avidly since then.
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast: I've been playing FTB since around January, having picked up on it from the official Mindcrack players. I played a bit with Tekkit too.
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are: I enjoy all the basic industrial mods, such as IndustrialCraft, BuildCraft and GregTech. I love the automation they allow, and the sorting systems you can build with RedPower.
The thing I enjoy most about the game is: Community servers, where I can build how I want, when I want, but with a load of friends!
This person has put more time and thought into their application, and has produced nice sentences that make sense! It's a little short, but it'll do!
Example of an application that I would produce for a server:
My in-game name: Robbo905
How long I have been playing Minecraft: I have been playing Minecraft since Beta 1.3_01 and have been an addicted player since the word go. I played constantly through to beta 1.4 when I released my own server called 'Arelia' which now has over 60,000 views on the Minecraft Forums. Unfortunately, the server had to close down late last year. I continued to play, addicted, through until around the 1.1 release, where Minecraft had eventually lost it's interest in me. However, modpacks such as Tekkit gave the game a new life, and since Feed the Beast became the new norm, I've stuck at that ever since!
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast: I've been playing Feed the Beast since around January of this year, when some of my favourite YouTubers began playing on the official MindCrack FTB server. Having played a little bit of Tekkit, but finding it OP due to Equivelant Exchange, I thought Feed the Beast might be a little fun and re-inspire me... It did. I played a little in creative, getting a hang of some new mechanics; and then went insane and built a power plant that generated over 500,000 EU/t. Now I'm looking for a great community server where I can build in survival, and achieve something with a close knit friend group.
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are: MY favourite mods would have to be the standard, factory mods such as IndustrialCraft, BuildCraft and GregTech. The huge array of machinery that they provide, along with all the automation possibilities in RedPower make Feed the Beast an incredible mod. I actually really like GregTech because it feels 'official' and powerful, and it's really something that you can strive for in the long term. Less to my taste are mods such as ThaumCraft or the Bees from Forestry and ExtraBees, but this is perhaps I'm simply not as good at them! Who knows what I could get up to on your server!
The thing I enjoy most about the game is: About Minecraft in general? That would have to be the powerful community. And not just of a server! Minecraft has sold over 10,000,000 copies to dedicated players who go out of their way to create content, to create servers, to create fun videos to watch on YouTube and to generally socialise with! Without as powerful community as Minecraft has, it would be nothing! When a server whos primary purpose is not about special plugins, or 'wonderful' game mechanics (such as prison servers) but is purely about getting the best people on for an amazing community: That's where I want to be. I hope to have this application accepted and that I can bring more laughter, community spirity and friendly fun to Arelia!
Thanks,
Robbo905
Perhaps a little long, and some server owners may not accept this simply because they can't be bothered to read it! But if that's the case, I don't want to be on that server! I will always make sure to read all the way through an application and take it in.
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast:since it first came out
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are:some of my favourite mods thuamcraft buildcraft forestry IC2 and twilight forest
The thing I enjoy most about the game is:How much the game gives you it is really fun

Started my own vanilla minecraft server based at home, followed by the FTB servers. Friends gradually left and i'm almost alone in my server which wasn't very large to begin with. That's why i'm looking for a community based FTB server, figure if anyone actually bother to apply or start a server may have a longer attention span then my friends.
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are:
Gregtech as it gives the game more depth, harder to play basically In my server, my friends had me disable gregtech leading to a faster game pace which bores the game faster then it should.
The thing I enjoy most about the game is:
building projects big or small with a small community (eg: projects that a few can take part in )
My in-game name: Llogres
How long I have been playing Minecraft: I honestly have no idea, which probably means it has been a long time, more than 3 years at least
How long I have been playing Feed the Beast: I switched to FTB a few month after it came out, before that i had been playing Tekkit, offline and online
My favourite mods in the Mindcrack FTB pack and the reasons I like them are:
I love Thaumcraft because it provides new challenges and new possibilities for vanilla items. I tend to play with a good mix of many different mods but tend more to the magical part than to the technical.
The thing I enjoy most about the game is:
Exploration and building. I tend to start big projects as soon as I'm established on a server. I plan my building ahead quite a lot and i'm more focused on visual impact than beeing practical.
Even if i don't make much "progress" i still enjoy hanging out in the game and exploring. I'm looking forward to playing on your server and enjoy the community!

Both added! Unfortunately, I can't get to the console at the moment to add your membership, but I'll do that asap Just letting you both know that you will be officially members shortly
