Fake server alert




 
Our resident crazy Italian
Steve taught us admin much since he first took a couple of noobs and chose them to be the admin on his server, his frustration when I just didn’t understand or get what he was talking about while he was trying to teach me something was funny and frustrating at the same time, we hadn’t been playing the game for that long really, now it seems like a lifetime.  We have grown into the admin role, learning as we went, every now and then Steve would teach us something new, guide us in what we did until he was confident enough in our ability to care for the server and players, then he went back to what he loved doing, tweaking the technical side of things to keep the server running how it should do, he often threw ideas at us for different things knowing full well most of the time we didn’t understand what he was saying to us, all or at least most of what he said went over our heads but we were just his way of working things out for himself, I will miss that about him.

The SONO survival server was created on 14th November 2018, it was created after the PI server wouldn’t restart after a update, in that very short time we have had some great builders, some not so much but most tried, true the small cobble boxes were a eyesore but most spruced up their abodes and made them look greater than they started, if I could name all of the beautiful builders I would but I have a terrible memory and although I want to name you all I have done what I can to take pictures of player builds, at least you will be able to say ‘Oh hey, that is mine’.

oMikekiMo and Hyrum_of_FreePizza  two of Steve’s friends from the ‘Free Pizza’ Server, when they were all online together would often be found talking about the good old days on pizza.
President_StampyCat and emma2014 ah our little Stampy always on the lookout for his emma, it was always endearing watching you two.
 
Player build
Today we had a little troll on the server bragging about a new server with the same name as ours, going against our wishes that the server be left alone to end, some nasty thief has copied all of the map and builds that we all worked to get where it is, I am both disgusted and extremely sad by the news of it, they know nothing of the love we all have poured into the server with our builds, instead they have copied (stolen) what they want, I won’t name them, I know who the trolls are as do they, may they forever get bugs in their software, be aware Steve doesn’t trust the person who has stolen the map and builds, he would never have given permission for it to be copied and used by them, they obviously have no morals, we prided ourselves on keeping our players safe, which is what Steve wanted all along, they have ignored our wishes totally for their own gain.
