Might be worth posting some more information. What are you looking for in staff? What are the requirements? What kind of server are you running? etc.

There's Bukkit plugins that do this. It's fun for a little while, but then it just gets kind of annoying. Syncing time is even worse...

For players, I don't think there can be too many servers. But for server owners, I think there can...

Not really an expert, but I'll try to give you some help with a bit of what I know.

First off, it's almost always a good idea to build a computer yourself if you feel comfortable with doing so. You mentioned putting in some RAM yourself, so you seem to at least be comfortable with opening your computer and doing minor maintenance. In most cases, you can get a lot better bang for you buck. At least keep that open as an option if you're comfortable with it.

Second, you mentioned about putting in your own ram at some point. RAM works best when they're paired with similar RAM. Keep that in mind when you upgrade your RAM. It'd be better to go with two 4gb DDR3 than 2gb and 4gb sticks.

Lastly, if you're going to be playing mostly Minecraft, it may be worth looking into getting a computer with an APU instead of a video card, and then upgrading to a video card at a later time. You can invest more money in the CPU which *should* give you a performance boost in Minecraft. However, games like Skyrim (which I see you mentioned) would see a performance drop.

Like I said, I'm not really a pro, and may be wrong in a few cases, so it'd probably be worth getting a second opinion.

2) We have the required licensing for our radio station.


Do you mind if I ask what type of licenses you have? I'm only wondering because I wanted to broadcast Minecraft songs (rather than all music), but I can't figure out what type of licenses are needed.

Hello, I've tried doing something similar called Redstone Radio, and I have a few questions for you.

1) I see you're also playing music. Is it Minecraft music, or just any music?
2) Do you have licenses for said music?
3) Do you have any daily/weekly shows or anything of the sort?

Thanks for the feedback! Like I said in my OP post, I'm trying to focus more time on functionality than design like you said. As long as it doesn't look bad, I'm ok.

I do know a little bit of CSS, and I could always learn more about it on my own. My main problem is, I don't really have a good eye for what looks nice. I seem to have two choices. Either hire someone to come up with a design for me, or to use a pre-built theme. That's why I've chosen to use a pre-built theme. As for the donate button, I think you're right. It just doesn't fit. I added a link instead, and I think it looks much nicer, and less noticeable (I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing). Again, thank you very much for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback everybody! For those who haven't already noticed, I'm just using Wordpress. I'll admit, not a ton of work has gone into this. Just a few hours. Also, for anyone who's curious, I am planning on adding more to my site.

To answer your question, I'd personally go with the Macbook Pro. That's what I have, and it's still ultra portable. It's light enough to carry in one hand, and really thin. I have novels that are heavier and thicker than this thing. I really like my Mac, but to be honest, you'd probably be better off with a Windows laptop.

I've gone ahead and done some simple renders with Maya on my Macbook Pro. Seems pretty solid. Again, I've just been doing simple shapes and models, but I was able to render at 4k in a few seconds.

Also, to the fellow above me, most 3D modeling software I've found, works on Mac (Blender, Maya, 3ds max, Google Sketchup, Cinema 4D, etc).

@OP what I don't get, is that you already have a laptop. Can't you use that for travel, and then get a more powerful desktop for at home?

I also see that you mentioned programming as well. What are you going to be programming? Are you going to be using something such as Unity? I haven't tried Unity on here yet, but I did try Unreal Engine 4. It wasn't great. Usable maybe, but hard to use. Also bare in mind the screen size of the 13 inch Mac. It makes it hard to see everything sometimes.

I'm on a Macbook pro right now, installing Maya. I kind of have my doubts about it working well, but I'll report back to you.

I'm not going to be applying (can't really a ton of time right now), but I just wanted to thank you for writing a good recruiting post. I know this may sound lame, but you have no idea how many times I've seen someone asking for help, and their topic literally says "I need plugin devs and builders. Add me on Skype". It's nice to get some information about your server, and what you're looking for. Props to you! Also, you really know what to look for in a dev. "Must know your own code". It's amazing how many people don't actually know what they're doing.

Anyways, I know this is a goofy post, but I just wanted to say this xD

What CPU do you have right now?

Going to intel would be an upgrade, yes and you can find a i5 + z/h97 for around 300. Might even be able to fit in a cooler and be able to overclock the i5, but you'd be fine without overclocking.

My CPU is a Pentium E5400 @ 2.7GHz. I feel like going either AMD or Intel would give me a pretty big performance boost, but is my price range enough to move to Intel?

Yes, at newegg, it comes out right at 296.
