Login at HomeTown

Zany, Lex, and I came together and decided to make a HomeTown Tumblr! After our previous attempts (and fails), we've made a brand new, finished (for now, at least) version of the HomeTown Tumblr. On this account, we will be posting screenshots from recent events, updates on the server/forums, etc.

The semi-offical Tumblr:

Server you were banned on (SMP): home town

Minecraft name: 155lightning

Reason for your ban: Using X-Ray mod

Who banned you: Star

Why should you be unbanned: I think I should be unbanned from home town because I sincerely love this server and I realized that my use of X-Ray mod was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made in Minecraft. I was playing with my friend on 1/2/16 and we were talking about how we both just installed the X-Ray mod and I was learning how to use the mod, and I accidentally hit the button for it and found out how to use it. As a result of me finding out how to use the mod, I went mining and used it to mine something like 42 diamonds or something around that number. I am sincerely sorry about using X-Ray mod and I would like to just forget about this incident and be able to come back on the server because me and some of my friends also got banned on the server and we all feel that this was one of the best semi vanilla servers we have ever been on. I realize that I made a terrible mistake and if I am lucky enough then I will be granted a second chance and I will never make the same mistake. So I if granted the ability to gain access once again on home town will never make the mistake and i will burn the items in lava that I got from using the mod, if I am not fortunate enough to gain access to hometown then I will forever leave this site alone and never bother anyone associated with this site again.

Why do you want to come back: As I stated above, because my friends and I used this server as like a meeting place to play semi vanilla Minecraft and just have fun together. Also I stated above and will restate it, that my friends and I believe that this was one of the best and if not the best semi vanilla server we have ever played on. So please consider my appeal and hopefully I will once again be on the great server of home town. Thank you so much for reading and considering my appeal.
Sincerely,
155lightning

doors dont close on right click
I am having issues with doors not closing on right click.
I have tried rebuilding new doors and placing them differently and still the same thing happens.

As there is no current page to view all the member ranks on the forum I decided to look at a mybb forum I am admin on and take a look at the default ranks and then share them.

The forum ranks order for the default mybb forum is:

Newbie - 0 posts

Junior Member - 1 post

Member - 50 posts 

Senior Member - 250 posts

Posting Freak - 750 posts

(Tempted to put this in the Problems section, but it's usually only a minority who have voting problems and there's not really anything to do about voting glitches anyway, so...yeah. Putting it here because Why do you do this to me, Sites?!)

I've been trying to vote every day each month on all three voting links.  Usually I'll get a glitch once in a while where the site lets me vote but then doesn't carry over to the server's Top Votes list.  However, this month has to be the strangest glitch yet for me. 
So there have been five days of voting so far.  The first day I voted on all three sites.  Everything was good.  The second day I voted on the first two sites, but the third insisted that I had already voted. Not only that, but when typing in the address or going to my favourites for it the site forwarded me to the Main Site with its list of servers and no voting for HT. It took me directly clicking the voting link from HT's site to get told I'd already voted. Okay, so maybe it had a different time reset and I'd gone over into the next day. Frustrating that I'd messed my voting for the month up, but it must be my fault, right? Well, move onto the third day.  First two links; Everything good.  Third link? Same. Thing. Once again, it seems convinced that I'd already voted and said Nope.  Meanwhile, Top Vote count kept going down for me since I could only vote twice a day thanks to Site Three. But okay. It's just a glitchy voting site. Maybe it will fix itself. Fourth day, nothing's changed. First two let me work, third took a direct click from the HT site to get to and still says I've voted already.  But I noticed something (and this is what really is weird to me). I've voted once on the third site this month. One vote on the Third Site has been counted on Top Votes. But the Third Site's personal vote count shows this:

Apparently my ghost has been voting for me and I've four votes on the Third Site over four days. They still don't show up on Top Votes, sure, but this site sees them. Here would be the Top Votes list at the same time, bearing in mind I've voted every day on two sites and once on the third, but all think I've voted every day:

So yeah. I have no idea, but the Third voting site is having fun fluffing me over and laughing while it does it.  Thought I'd share my meaningless frustration on here so you all have to know it too now ^-^ Good luck to all those trying for Top Voter!

Server you were banned on (SMP): SMP

Minecraft name: Evilpig920

Reason for your ban: Using alts during a temp ban

Who banned you: DK

Why should you be unbanned: I was having a lot of fun on the winter event, but I got temp banned for cheating, so I used an ALT account to bypass the temp ban. I was not planning on cheating with the alt account (Because I couldn't, and ill get banned). But I really wanted to play the winter event because it was fun. Hometown is a very good server because it is run very well and it has a stable economy. I am truly sorry and I will not do it again. 

Why do you want to come back: I really like hometown because there is a lot of potential for players to succeed. The economy is stable, and it is run well. I have quite a lot of friends on the server and they want me back. Lets hope we can get this conflict solved so we can learn to trust each other again.

Server you were banned on (SMP): Hometown

Minecraft name: Avhox

Reason for your ban: Grief

Who banned you: vilneas

Why should you be unbanned: It was abandoned I didn't feel like I was harming any one's work. I broke some haybale block because I wanted some wheat. Its first offence I've committed and I've learn my lesson. I won't happen again.

Why do you want to come back: Obviously because I like this server and enjoy it. It took a while to find a good server and I feel like this is it. 

i havent been online for a while now, even tough its a vacation, but ive started to think, that minecraft isnt so exciting anymore. Its another of those games i play for few years, and then get bored to it. Now, this community has become more important than minecraft, which means that this isnt a goodbye. It is more like "see you soon", and i just need to make stuff to happen in real life. Im going on a tough break, and im sure you can see me on the server chat sometimes. I will see you soon,and hope you all have great day!

Sorry from the mispelled words, i wrote this with laggy iphone, and it was 0.20 at morning

Hi Jelly here,

I am an anarchist, but when it comes to minecraft, living peacefully and keeping harmony, I am not so brutal. 
I have (most likely) found a way to improve your town (does not apply to every town), old or new. 

Follow the suggestions:

As the Owner of the town you should:
1. Build a public tree farm
2. Build a public farm (every single thing that can be grown) 
3. Build a public animal farm (a bit hard to manage and keep safe)
4. Build one public tool (auto brewer, furnace array, infinite water, rail system, public mine, etc....)
5. Add a shared junk area. One man's junk is another man's treasure. 
6. Assign each player to a job (food delivery, mail delivery, farmer, etc...)


Everyone who enters the town must do the following:
1. Expand upon the public tree farm by X amount. 
2. Expand upon the public farm by X amount. 
3. Expand upon the public animal farm by X amount. 
4. Build another non-existing public tool.
5. Organize public events, with the town staff's help. 

Town Rules:
1. You must replant or replenish what you harvested, 
    and return any public tool used to original condition (if possible).
2. You must provide clear instructions for the public tools you built. 
3. Report any suspicious activities, grief, and problems. 
4. Provide any resources necessary to fix public stuff (Ex. if the public anvils run out, everyone provide X iron).

You see, anyone who goes to harvest resources will allow time for more resources to grow (the player loads the chunks) and anyone who uses the public tools will only improve its condition (by rule 1. Unless you have bad residents). 

I believe charging a subscription fee to the town will keep stuff from being grieved, or only allow players above certain rank to join, or even stricter, allow only players you know very well to join. 
This is the closest I can get (think of) to a perfect public town. 

This is not communism of any sense (nobody shares their own resources, they add to the public one). This is just a closely knitted community with tons of resources and good harmony. 

What do you guys think? Is this Viable?
