Just a short intro, I'm a father of two kids who both adore minecraft and play on our own home server, and within the last few months I've become mod-addicted. My son's neverending Minecraft video habit eventually led me to Direwolf20's work and over the last few days I've watched an absolute ton of his work, as well as some of Slowpoke's streaming. While I was familiar with a number of the mods they used, I dreaded keeping up with the upgrade/IRC hunt/compiling/wait cycle, and following every single mod author was becoming really tedious so Feed The Beast seems like the perfect fit! MAJOR thanks to all of you guys for bringing this to fruition, and I will definitely be looking for the contribute button for the mod authors who have brought me endless hours of fun so far.
