Fairly new to Minetown. I came by word of mouth. I started minecraft on a Departed server run by ZakDank (no longer running) became a global admin to watch out for my now 11 year old nephew and 12 year old son. I'm not much of a gamer these days (when I was a teenager I was, but I am 31 now). Zak told me about MT when my son told me he wanted to find a vanilla server with an economy. So far I have been pretty impressed with this server, and hopefully my family and I will stick around a while. I rock the original Steve skin, and yes, I know that makes me look like a newb, but it suits me. I didn't change it originally (almost 4 years ago) because I didn't go on any forums, and I always wear armor, so I didn't see the point. I haven't changed it because it grew on me. I am Steve, hear me roar!

I appreciate it rubberchicken007. As far as the chicken farm goes, it is not mine, nor my sons (nor my nephews). My understanding of that "contraption" is limited. From what I do know, at least last I heard. it isn't even producing anymore, I was told "it is as full as it gets". I hate the chicken farm, the sound haunts my dreams. Unfortunately when I first joined MT, and ZakDank's clan (I was global admin on his servers to protect my son and nephew, he is the one that told us about Minetown), I burrowed myself in under the enchanting area (because books of enchantment are my thing).

To top it all off, my son just told me he was reading a warning message for AFK farming as well (which he doesn't do if it has anything to do with farming or production) and was booted while trying to reply with the message "Alt of banned player" or something close to that. Starting to understand why there aren't many people on this server I was told "was once the place to be.". I'm not even a gamer. I only started minecraft to bond with my son and my nephew.

After reading a few other appeals, I'm beginning to wonder what AFK farming actually is.. I don't own any farms, animals, or any other form of automated production if that is what AFK farming is related to so....

To clarify, I'm not trying to be "smart", the last bit is a sincere question.
