    To get it out of the way, I'm bringing the shoutbox up first. I don’t know if Freedsuniverse ever had it, but the Orcworm site had this nifty little box on the home page that allowed people to make a public announcement without making a thread. I think someone may have brought this up in the early merging days, but I don’t remember how it might have gone. Anyway, it might bring down posting of useless threads because it’s easier to get small questions answered. It can also let someone see if a larger subject has already been brought up, before making another thread for it.

    It’s been brought up more than once that there be an admin shop where people can sell their good for half as much as they can buy for. Someone told me that dirt and cobblestone should not be something to sell, because it would cause major eye-sores, which I agree with. Stone however, could be sold.

    Getting money for killing mobs, while nice and all, easily causes huge class shifts. No middle class is bad, simple. Mob killing is the only renewable resource for getting money, so getting rid of that would bring the need for a new source. As said above, things other than dirt and cobble could be something to sell in an admin shop. This especially applies to crops, which is a renewable resource, and is something worth much more than camping a spawner all day. The economy should encompass the entire Minecraft experience, not just specific things like spawner camping.

    Alright, I have seen some stupidly huge spawner rooms. Selling things like rotten flesh and bones in the shop still encourages spawner campers. But not being able to sell these things would also hurt those who honestly just went out on a 3 MC night killing binge and got all their drops from natural mobs. So would it be possible to make Creaturebox so that it either has very low normal drops (excluding the rare drops), or just not have any normal drops, and it be used for those 30 levels for an enchantment?

    Specific to spawners now. I heard that Freedsuniverse doesn’t let people take a mob egg, punch a redstone torch, and create a spawner for that mob. I don’t know if people can mine a spawner into an egg though. If an admin shop is going up, then I don’t think spawner eggs should be something sold there. Spawn eggs should be a non-renewable resource. Going and actually hunting them down sound like a fun part of the game.

    I'm pretty sure the shoutbox was available because of the different type of forum that Orc had...I forget what it was though.

    I actually liked the shoutbox a great deal on orcworm's old server website...

    We have a teamspeak server if you want to use that as a chatroom.

    For better or worse, there will probably be more people on after the map reset. Hopefully the same people, not a ton of new people.

    Pat, do you think we'd be able to keep turning eggs into spawners if they are not sold in any kind of admin shop?

    Shoutbox was primarily used to spam and for new members to spam their appeal thread in a flawed attempt to become unbanned.

    And because of that, we had nearly no new threads, which is why we have a forum in the first place.
