After 8.75 long and tireless years of begging, spying, schmoozing, being annoying, reporting, and selling my soul, it turns out all I needed to get (rightfully) promoted was to go inactive and touch grass. Who knew!

Important mod announcement. The hamster running our mod permission servers has quit unexpectedly leading to permissions getting messed up.
We are hiring for Lead Wheel Runner with a minimum of 0 years experience. This is an integral role in the operations of PMC and the position comes with a hefty benefits package that includes free dental and treats. Work hours are 24/7. If you are interested in this position, please contact Paril on his guestbook asking for the position. We look forward to hearing from you!
I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(
As always, thank you to all the participants this season! SSPBL isn't possible without all of you (participants, voters, and organizers). Thank you for making this yet another fantastic season.
Keep those palette skills sharp, we will see you in the next season!
Today is my 12 year PMC anniversary. Give it one more year and there will be people on this site who were born after I had joined PMC. Someone make the clock stop please.
Zitz here with a bit of PMC history for newer members. This song can never die. A good reminder of how many people have passed through PMC over the years. The friendships formed, the collaborations made, and the Minecraft played.
Yes I have shared this before, but that was 3 years ago now.
A few interesting notes about this video that really show how old it is now:
You don't see drop parties being a big thing anymore in the MC community. They still exist but they aren't a hot topic anymore.
Really old PMC UI and forums back before Paril reworked them. I can remember it feeling like the forums were being worked on for years before there was an update. And now, I can barely remember the old forums.
Terms like "haxor", and other old-school gaming terms that seemed to have faded over the years.
More than just PMC, this video is a good snapshot at what the gaming community was like back then.
We'll be starting off ASAW with the label aromantic! 💚🤍🤎🖤
Aromantic, often shortened to "aro", is used by a person who may experience little or no romantic attraction. It exists across a spectrum, creating the aromantic spectrum we are celebrating this week.
Occasionally paired with the label asexual to create the term "aroace", a person who experiences little or no sexual and romantic attraction. Although they are often used together (and therefore easily get mixed up.), they do not mean the same thing, as one is for romantic orientation and the other for sexual orientation.
A common misconception is that aromantics cannot feel love- though they may not frequently experience romantic attraction, they can feel other types of love like familial love and platonic love, which are all as valid as romantic love. To add on, being aro has nothing to do with one's personality traits. They still feel emotions like every other person and are capable of being affectionate.
Why do we need to learn about these labels? Aren't they divisive? Of course, everybody has their preferences. There is absolutely no need to identify with a label, which is totally fine! However, some people may find identifying with a label more empowering, and it's important to respect that. We here just hope to educate people on these identities! :]
Disclaimer: If there's anything I got wrong, please please please let me know in the comments! These are all based on articles and my personal knowledge, so it may not be accurate.
Today marks the beginning of the Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! 💚🤍🤎🖤
This is an awareness period created to celebrate, raise awareness of, and bring acceptance to aromantic spectrum identities and the issues people on the aromantic spectrum face. If you want to dive more into the different types of attractions, I highly recommend a super quick read of this article!
We, as the staff team, will be featuring an identity on this spectrum a day, so you all can learn more about the aromantic spectrum :]
