Taking over the forums or not???

Hey guys, i have a question for you, Owengraven hasn't been online for over 2 years on the forums, so i suggest that i would take over the forums, ofcourse i wont do it without you guys accepting this.
So pleas post below if you accept or not.

Greetings,
alfa_overlord (Sven).

Yes, please!

I will try to contact some people from the old server.

YES YES YES SO MUTCH YES. Been looking for a server like gravenia for ages and still haven't found one. How flippin' awesome would it be to hang around with you guys again!   So excited! By the way, if you do end up making the server, PLEASE. Make it have the same plugins as gravenia. As in, a claim system, no factions, maybe sprinkle in a few minigames, but that comes with time. As long as we manage to get back online on a gravenia like server with my old buddies, I'll be happy.
but pls no factions doe i hate dem


EDIT: I can reach Polleidon. I'll try to get in touch with him

Hello guys!

I must say that I miss you all! I don't really play Minecraft anymore, not that I don't like it, but I just don't have all that much time to play video games (little up date on my life, I am in college taking a nursing degree, three years from now I'll be a RN ) although I am more than available to spend time with you all not only here but on the new server if it comes to exist. 

With this being said I won't be all that active untill 24th on june because I'll be doing an internship and it is out of town, that and I'll need to study everyday and do two written works each week. 

Besides this, and like I said, I miss you and I can't wait to hear updates of your lifes! How is everyone doing?!

im great, im gonna stop school soon and im gonna start on a child farm(idk how to type it XD). i will guide classes and help on the field.

OK guys, im gonna move the forums to my name and email so this is all official.

ok, ive contacted owen and hes gonna get the administration on my name.

Hello! I'm doing great. School is almost out for summer in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to trap myself in my house for a month or so until I go back to school. Anyway, I can't believe we're all kind of reconnecting right now, which is really great. Hopefully we can put life back into this once prosperous community.

You might not remember him, but my cousin (IGN: Titarta) was just as mutch of a fan of the server as I was. I told him we might get back on our feet and he was just as excited as I was when I found out (Sent me a total of 12 smiles. That's pure happiness right there!). With him, we have a total of 5 old gravenia members getting back here. All of them being staff members xD (Titarta was an architect). I MIGHT be able to get jackonell back. But I'd have to go full stalker mode just like I did with Poll. My only contact to him is this forum and an old youtube comment he made on one of my gravenia videos. Maybe he'll see the notification?...

Bad boy bad boy, what ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when he stalks on you 

I can easily maintain a non 24/7 through most of the day. It would most likely be held up from about 8 AM to 9:30 PM (I live in Europe, Portugal). I WOULD have plugins, and it's very easy to maintain. It could be a solution while we don't get a decent host  What do you guys think?

EDIT: We could then transfer the temp server's world to the host server

that would be epic, i hope to see this realize ver soon.

I'll be running some tests to see if the server works. Please do tell me what plugins to get on the server. I'll install a basic warp system and a home system, maybe some more. As I mentioned, it won't be 24/7, though whenever I can I'll have it up. I'll be using a website called ATERNOS. The way this website works is it allows you to create a free server, not hosted by you, and it lets you choose a variety of options, such as version, slots, whitelist, plugins, etc. However the website got very famous so whenever I turn the server on I have to get on a half hour queue. They also have a system so that if less than two slots are being used, the server shuts itself down. The way I see it I have 2 options: either I have two cracked launchers running or 2 bots allways running. Unfortunately, having the bots would mean I need 2 launchers and the bots open, so it would be more consuming. I'll just have to make a lil' sacrifice and have the two launchers. For this reason, I'll stop the server for 5 minutes every hour, with the exception of the mournings that I'm not home. Also, the server won't be operative during weekeds, as the internet I'm limited to drops down to 63 KB/s download ON GOOD WEEKENDS. But during the week I'm fine Yeah, it's really bad. And having two launchers constantly connected to a server would just hog the internet, and as you can guess I'm not the only one using it. I think I covered most of it. This seems like a viable option while we don't have our 24/7 host. Maybe, if I can get it running for long enough, we can get some players on and MAYBE some donations. From there, we can get an actual decent paid host (though a very cheap one) and with THAT one we can get even more players and even more donations. Yes, it would be very difficult to get the very first donations on the aternos host, but maybe we can. 
Here's to hoping gravenia comes back!

Edit: Jesus christ that's a long post. I'll underline the important stuff >_>

Edit nr2: I can't stop laughing. I don't know what you meant Sven, but child farm sounds like child slavery xD

its like a farm where children learn about farms.
and that would be great for the server, how will the payment be done??? cause the donations cant give ya /fly or /creative. 
the first donation would be hard indeed but time will show us if we succeed.
as for the plugins, essentials and griefprevention plugin are the basic ones we will need.
as for the others, idk yet. i hope for suggestions from others to, i will make a topic for it.

By the way, due to 1.9 being recent certain plugins might not work very well. I think I can install those two you mentioned, Sven, but others might be hard. We'll also be running 1.9 EXACTLY. Anything above that, even 1.9.2, might not work. This is because some important things seemed to have changed from 1.9 to 1.9.1+, and I can only find plugins with 1.9.

Thats perfectly fine.

Lets start with those 2 and we can still ad another one if needed.

Server requires more than two slots: It requires for me to have all but one slots full! Ill find a way to get around this, but it'll be hard...

EDIT: I found another host. It limits me to 10 plugins (More than enough for the essentials) and also to 0.5 GB. I think Sven saw this one already, and for a tempo solution it's decent. Only problem is it seems to be hourly... I still don't quite understand what they mean by that, but I'm going to check it out. For this host I only need 1 bot online to keep server almost up  IP will be given as soon as a temp spawn is made.
