Thread: Formal Apology (Off Topic Discussion) Posted on 11 Feb : 18:29
This is my formal apology and (in all likelihood) last message to the server. At the beginning, when I joined the server in May of 11', I was still rather new to Minecraft. After getting killed several times on my way to try to find a suitable place to build a house, a mod (sorry, I don't remember who) gave me some (albeit slightly damaged) armor and tools to fend for myself that night. It was then and there that I realized that CFUK was something different. Early that summer, my friend told me about a mod pack, called Zombe's mod pack. Upon further inspection of it, I realized it had a cheat function, which, unfortunately, included x-ray mod. For the next 3 or so months, I went on a diamond mining rampage. Around the beginning of August, I learned that mods of this type were banned, and immediately ditched the mod, because I didn't want to jeopardize my place on the server. I think I would have ditched the mod soon after any ways, because illegitimately acquired diamonds are a lot less rewarding than finding diamonds the hard way. For the next 5 months after that, I had lot's of good times. We went through a map change, 1.0 came out, as well as Christmas and many sever map border expansions. Then, just last month, I had to start a month long English project, so I didn't get on the server that much. Then, just this week, I finished the project and decided to get on the server to celebrate. When I tried to get on, though, I was told I was banned. After digging around a little (no pun intended) I learned I was banned for my alleged x-ray mod use all those months ago. I feel that it is my duty to apologize to Broonie, the mods, and a couple of good friends I made on the server (Qotsa, tacospwn), as well as the entire server in general. Through this whole ordeal, I've recently learned that I was apparently considered a respected member, and I owed you guys more. To put it bluntly, I let you all down. I'm not asking to get unbanned because
1: My ban appeal has already been denied
2: I respect the rules as much as everybody else and know that this example must be made to warn others on the server.
I also give a warning to any new players on the server who may be reading this: don't use x-ray mods. I know, the temptation may be great, and maybe for a while, you may be legitimately having fun. But as seen here, the mods will always eventually catch you (even if it is months after you last used an x-ray mod, as seen by my case). As I also said earlier, finding diamonds the hard way is a lot more rewarding than cheating for them. If you are joining the server purely to use it as a place to mine a lot of diamond and show off, then either leave now or reconsider your position. This server is amazing. It has extraordinary people, fun community builds, and a goofy all-around experience, while still keeping the survival aspect of Minecraft intact. To me, there will never be another server that I will play on that was quite as good as CFUK. I will truly miss playing here and wish you all the best of luck for the rest of your lives in whatever endeavors you may undertake. Once again, I apologize to Broonie and the mods. You guys trusted me, deserved more from me, and I let you all down. Goodbye everybody, I wish you all good futures.

Umm, is it just me or is the server down?
