Thanks Franklin and Kennuckle. I've whitelisted a lot of new people the last few days so I'm going to stop for the time being. I don't want too many new people at once, we need a chance to get to know each other.
Most likely some of them won't work out, if so I'll come back here and review your applications.
Sorry, I need to stick to the 18+ rule. If I start to make exceptions it just gets messy and is too much trouble. I won't even let my own nephew on the server until he is 18
There are a lot of players over 18. It's true that recruiting on this forum has not been very successful, but I keep trying! I've had good success recruiting elsewhere. The 18+ model does work.
You may be interested in my vanilla gnarCraft server. 15 slots. There isn't a separate PvP world, but one of the rules of the server is no PvP without all parties agreeing to it. Several of us like PvP games but not everyone is interested in that. You have to be 18+, though. Check out my thread and see if you quality and apply there if you are interested. http://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/post1776729.html
