    Survival - ezeiger92 promoted to Lead Admin of Survival
    This change has been long coming, but I delayed pulling the trigger on this out of respect to NDV's seniority in the role. This change is mostly symbolic and doesn't really change much other than recognizing officially all the hard work Erik has been putting into the survival server. It also kinda enables Erik more to make some key decisions faster and move the server forward faster. Of course this means Erik will have to communicate his vision for the server more (*wink*) and keep people informed of all the changes he'd got brewing up in his head.

    Survival - Looking for Staff / Staff Requirements
    We've slowly been thinning out the staff list based on who has and has not been very active. We want our staff ranks to be filled with people who are passionate about the server, the game they are admins for, and in general are contributing to the level that their title requires them to be. Also, you may have noticed over the last year and a half since I took over lead of the community, we've had older and more mature staff. I plan to continue that trend. Our average age is now 23 among all staff. I want to keep as a *general* rule 16 for Mods, 18 for admins, and 21 for admins with console / db / file access. Again this is a general rule, but just wanted to convey that to everyone. If you are interested in joining our staff, you can post and application in our requests forum. Other than age (and obvious maturity), you need to be active on the server you are intending on being staff, know the rules of that server very well, work / play well with others, and intend on actually committing a lot of time to being staff (it's not just a cool kids club, it's work).

    Space Engineers - DirectX 11
    This week's weekly update included an update to DirectX 11. This has added a lot of beauty to the game, but unfortunately a lot of mods need to be updated to meet the new DX11 requirements. If there are some mods which never get updated, we might need to replace them with new versions of the mod or get rid of them entirely. If there specific mods you notice have issues, please let me know on the forums. I'll periodically re-patch all the mods.

    General - Advertising / Marketing
    As a humble reminder, please whenever possible bump these threads. This is as important in the case of MC Forums MORE IMPORTANT than voting. Seriously! Please post in the MC Forums threads. Don't just say "bump", just post random stuff about what you are doing and how you like the server. Takes less time than voting. Screenshots are fun too. http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6088/

    It means that, in general, the minimum age requirement for mod is 16, admin is 18, and console admin is 21.

    Xanna01: Originally, ndvenckus1 put "minum". After GingerSwan pointed it out, Random0ne changed ndvenckus1's post to "minimum", which made GingerSwan's post loose context. Random0ne added "it looks fine to me" because he is a cheeky little devil. Then Xanna01 came in late and missed the whole joke, and I made a post explaining what happened, which went something like this...
