			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone! While we are idling why not share where you are in life?<br />
<br />
For me personally a lot has changed!<br />
<br />
For one I'm in my 40's now. Still in the IT business. I got remarried! I do silly things like exercise 3-5 times a week. I do crazy things like backpacking and hiking, kind of like exploring the real world like I used to in Minecraft. Last year I backpacked 30 miles solo overnight on the Appalachian trail. I've tried putting some of my hikes on YouTube but then I dislocated my shoulder while hiking and haven't really done much since, but I'm almost healed up and ready to get back out there! <br />
<br />
Currently playing Tears of the Kingdom and I'm about half way through. Before that Red Dead 2 and BOTW. I have not played anything multiplayer in a while, but we need a Tears of the Kingdom no-kill build server immediately! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">I</span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">f you're still out there, where are </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">you at in life</span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">?

<br />
Side note: To keep the site healthy, I'll be doing some updates and try I'll to put some of the older websites back on here for a nice dose of nostalgia. Right now, email is busted so password resets, etc. won't be sent out.]]></description>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;" class="mycode_align">I was thinking recently about mR and how over the past few months its had very few to no one online on the minecraft server, and I think I may have realised why. On the past maps and free build servers, there has always been a spawn area with almost every item in the game for free, except for a few items that are understandably not going to be free. This, I believe, was a huge appeal to mR; a server where you can build on a natural map with all blocks at your disposal while maintaining a survival aspect to the server, which is lost if it were simply to be a creative mode server. That uniqueness was itself an appeal, and it has been lost over the past year due to one simple problem; the new spawn has not been finished and refined. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;" class="mycode_align">So having recognised this problem, I think it would be a good idea to finish it. However, I'd like suggestions on how we can build the new spawn; themes, designs, etc. If you could pitch any ideas before I reconstruct it, or want to work along with me in building it, it would be greatly appreciated. Once we've finished building the new spawn, I think we should start advertising a little bit more, and hopefully the server should flourish again.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;" class="mycode_align">If you have any other thoughts on what we could do to increase the amount of people coming onto mR, please comment them as well.</div>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So for the past few years we've gone through a company called Crissic.net for the Website's VPS.  On November 5th they posted this announcement to their website:<br />
<br />
http://my.crissic.net/announcements.php?id=83<br />
<br />
They did NOT send this announcement out via email.  So I never saw it.  On 12/5 I noticed the site was down, and I created a ticket with them and got this lovely response:<br />
<br />
** This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email/ticket. The Crissic brand is now closed down as of December 4, 2016 and will no longer be existent. We are keeping the Crissic website online for a few more days, however a<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ll infrastructure has already been decommissioned in full and all client data has been securely wiped out of our drives.</span> **<br />
<br />
So I moved the VPS over to a company that wont go under any time soon.  (Digital Ocean)  And thanks to .Lb's planning and foresight we had a backup from from Feb 2016 to restore from.   The last backup I had was from 2013 so we lost way less than we would have!  Thanks LB!!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">TLDR:  We outlived our hosting company and had to restore the site from backups. </span>]]></description>
