Here are some of the topics discussed during the meeting today for those who were not able to attend: - For PVP, Instead of giving and item up after you have lost, we could install a plugin that would cause you to give up your player head as a trophy. Or if that not enough we could set up a wager chest.
- A UHC/Mini Game server might be in the works for everyone to play on.
- Have a different chat setup for us to use instead of Skype. They one thrown out there were: TeamSpeak, Discord, Mumble, Raidcall.
- Have people submit more idea for a server banner/logo.
- Maybe move the forum from Pro Boards to something like Reddit.
- Keep Nether Hub as unspawnable as possible, also have people design the front of their nether tunnels.
- Come up with a name for spawn town and have a vote.
- Clean spawn town up (Hide torches under leaves, create a path way or a road)
- Finally, we are still looking for new people, so If you know someone let them know about the server!
Thanks guys!

The other thing we mentioned was the idea of changing these meetings to be at around 9PM GMT on Sundays to accommodate a wider range of timezones (NZ included!) though I now realise that pushes it to Monday morning for NZ which might not be great - could maybe do the same time on Saturday?
So the main two points I have much to say on are replacing Skype and forums.
The Skype replacement app I wanna put forward is called Discord (https://discordapp.com/) and it seems really fit for purpose here. Its targeted specifically at gamers and is completely free, and has clients on PC, Mac, OSX and Android. It also has channels so it will help keep the discussions a little less spammy. It's really slick and does both text and voice chat well. I know a lot of people like to keep their Skype for personal use and a lot of other people just hate it because it's shit.
I'm more than happy to create us a discord server we people can join if they wanna try it out and see how they like it.
The changing forums idea came from the fact that I had never heard of proboards, and have no real reason to visit it other than this. Where as a lot of people use reddit and check there anyway - it's also a lot simpler. A forum like proboards seems geared towards larger communities as far as I can tell and seems a little overkill for this many people. I'll admit that if nobody else here uses reddit this point falls flat on its arse though. I've moderated subreddits before so would be happy to help out/take care of that.
Let us know what you think about this (and all the other points here too!)

Im all for trying out a new chat alternative so if its free it would seem prudish to not at least try it out! If you set one up let me know and ill download/install it.
The forum idea, well im pretty easy going about that. As i said ive never used reddit before but if its easier to use and more suited to our needs then why not create one at least and let the people decide which one they prefer.

I created a Discord server, here is the invite link (should last 24 hours): discord.gg/0oYYYbVsQ10MFAhAAfter that we can easily invite whoever needs to be invited. You can use the web version or download the client for your computer of phone - give it a go, i'll post the link in Skype too.

hi I'm all for trying out the new Skype alternative. But as for moving from proboards I'm unconvinced. Swab spent a lot of time working on the forum and I doubt there is any real need to move to a reddit based forum. I became familiar with pro boards having used it with the last server we were all on and to be honest I'm comfortable with it. There's no point having people orientate themselves with move new apps if this one is fulfilling our forum component. Besides that, the only time I need reddit is when I'm advertising for the server or trying to find info on 1.9 release date so ultimately I'm against this idea. sorry! -the laziest person on the server <3

I bet this thread would have gotten more responses if it were on reddit though But fair enough, was worth a shot!

sorry about that I wasn't there so I kinda had to piece it together with the skype chat.
