    admin reacted to BashyBashy in Minecraft minigame server created by enthusiasts in Shetland - Seeking players for testing, and possibly moderators and helpers.   
    Hi,
    I fully realise this is a bit of a long shot, and I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but are there any Minecraft enthusiasts out there willing to come and help us test a java Minecraft minigame server we have been creating, by simply coming for a game and giving us some feedback?  Our team is 100% based in Shetland, and we would like to "seed" our server with a few kind people at the outset.  Shetland seems like a good place to start. 
    We started working on creating a minigame server because we felt that most of the servers out there are either far too toxic, and/or full of hackers/cheats.  We want to create a safer, fairer and more positive space for youngsters to enjoy online.  Also since the Hive closed down their java server in 2021 there are hardly any European java servers doing minigames for v1.8 onward, and the high latency ("ping") to the servers in the USA puts folk from here at a disadvantage.
    It's for the Java version only (for PC / Mac), unfortunately we are not going to do cross-platform for the Bedrock version like many other servers, because doing so would render our automated anticheat system almost completely useless.  So it can't accept players on consoles or mobile, who run Bedrock.  Sorry!  On the upside if you have a Bedrock MC account then you also automatically have free access to a java account, albeit you need a PC to access it.
    Key points:
    Access to the server is completely free.  It will never be put behind a paywall. We want our server to be safe, kind, non-toxic, child-friendly, and fun! Zero-tolerance of hackers, cheats & toxicity. A safe-haven for newer players. Server managed by enthusiasts from Shetland. Excellent anticheat.  Less-skilled players are given "encouragement" kits. Karma system gives in-game advantage to players who are kind, to help prevent toxicity. Game modes are all unique to our server and have been made from scratch.  They include:  Bedwars, Assault Course, Full Iron Armour, Survival multiplayer (SMP). If you're interested, you can find more details at our website:  https://bashybashy.com/ 
    We have not launched yet, but hope to do so shortly.  If you're keen to join in, or even to help in some way, please either reply to this post, or join our discord server and post there.  A link to our discord:  https://discord.gg/fMvutrvTk5
    We also have a Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/bashybashycom
    Hope some of you can come join us for a game some time!  Cheers.

    Yeah, terribly sad to hear of his passing, but not entirely surprised given his *ahem* lifestyle choices. There's many a dentist that's rubbed their hands at the thought of getting a grip of him. RIP... No chance!

    Some of you might have experienced problems accessing the site over the past few hours while we moved operations over to a new server - hopefully everything is back to normal now, and a couple of page refreshes should sort most issues.
    If you have any persistant problems then please do post to this thread.

    admin reacted to Gwyneth McBride in Grant Trailers   
    Grant Trailers Ltd is a genuine business, operating out of Aberdeen; my truck-driving neighbour vouched for them. I have just lost over £14500.00 of hard-saved money to what I thought was them, but a fraudster has a website, with the Aberdeen address, landline number for Aberdeen, as well as the Scottish company number for the legitimate business. I feel like a fool as I paid, as requested, via bank transfer on 18 August and was eventually given a delivery date of 5 September. The motorhome didn’t arrive; an email cited truck issues and gave a new delivery date of 7 September; needless to say, nothing arrived. Alarm bells had already started ringing for me and to my dismay, on checking the bank transfer details, I realised that the funds had been transferred to Grant Trailers Group Ltd, not Grant Trailers Ltd. The company is registered to a Romanian national, with a business address in London. The bank and police are now investigating. The cash I have lost represents over 4 years of saving hard and was meant to enable me, my adult, disabled son and our dog to visit my mum who we haven’t seen in over 4 years. The person who did this was made aware of our circumstances, but clearly has no conscience. I apologise for the length of this post, but do not want the genuine company to suffer, or, more importantly for anyone else to fall for this criminal scam.

    Thanks for pointing this out Rasmie.
    We've had a delve and a system upgrade we performed has changed some of the security functionality... (technical blah blah)... and for the meantime folk can only login using their email address, as opposed to their email address or username as before.
    It'll take a little reverse engineering, but we're on it.

    We've recently added interactive weather, shipping and flight pages - you'll find them in the top menu.
    You can grab the maps and move them about, and zoom in and out.
    The weather page lets you choose different views in the top right corner (wind and waves views is our favourite)
    On the shipping and flights pages you can click on the ship and aircraft icons and find out more info about them and what they're up to. We're finding it to be a peerie but addictive!
    We're still testing the pages out on different screensizes and devices, so please do let us know if you think something isn't working as well as it should. Mobile and tablet users, if you flip over to landscape view you should have a better experience.
    Cheers!

    @George. you've peppered this and many other threads with vague, inaccurate and often xenophobic posts about things being 'inflicted' on 'us' and how it is 'undemocratic' but have failed to offer any detail. You ignore questions directly posed to you about your accusations but you demand that other users justify their points. You're trolling, and it's tedious. You have also been warned and blocked several times so we're removing your repetitious posts and our fingers are hovering over the 'ban' button unless you back up your accusations with evidence or reasoning.
    So in an effort to move on positively, please do provide some evidence or reasoning why joining the EEC or EU was undemocratic, why Westminster is undemocratic or what exactly Ted Heath, Anthony Eden, James VI or whoever else did that you don't like. Thanks in advance, the Shetlink admins.

    Thanks for letting us know about the adverts Roachmill. It can be difficult to predict what Google will show to users. It should settle down once Google has crawled the new site properly.
