Happy 6th Birthday, Famcraft!

 I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the players and all the staff members who have made Famcraft such an amazing place over the years.

 In theory, Famcraft sounds too good to be true. A community based on friendliness, fair play and respect. A community with strict rules and wholesome morals filled with incredible people who strive to offer one another friendship and support. A safe place where players and their families and friends can enjoy playing Minecraft together, or just hang out and enjoy the conversation.

 In reality, Famcraft is all of this and more. Famcraft is a community with a life and a personality of it's own. It's silly, like our funny Famcrafters and their puns, and sweet like our kind-hearted players who are always eager to lend a hand to those in need. It's strict- like our rules, forever helping to keep the server safe.
 
 Famcraft is always growing and changing and each new player makes their own contribution to the overall atmosphere of the server, giving Famcraft it's amazing personality. It's an honor to be here with you all.

 Famcraft exists so that everyone who is willing to follow the rules and be kind to one another can have a safe and happy place of their very own. The maps are permanent, the rules are here for good. No matter where you go or how much time has passed you can always log in on Famcraft and be home.

 Over the years we've watched many of you grow up. We've seen some of you go from barely able to play Minecraft or hold a full conversation to being Famstaff team members. We've seen little rule-breakers grow into incredible players who now help others to understand the rules better. Our Famcrafters have never ceased to impress me. Many of the people I have met here have had a huge impact on my life. I know my world is a better place because of Famcraft. 
 
We love it when you log in to share the special moments in your life like a great report card or getting a new puppy. We always love to hear about the happiness in your lives. We also like to serve as a safe distraction when things are less-than-sunny and you need to relax and play a game.

 Thank you to every player who has logged into Famcraft, followed the rules and helped us build this incredible home. You are Famcraft. <3

 Thank you to the staff team. Our beloved Famstaff team is made up of some of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Each member of the staff team has the best interest of every player in mind. They give up personal irl time as well as in game play time to be here with us and help keep us safe.
 
The Famcraft team genuinely cares about our players and always makes the effort to treat them like family and friends.
 
 Famcraft is not a job, it's a lifestyle. Some people are under the impression that the staff team is paid or otherwise compensated for their time here, they are not. The care and devotion you see from the staff is real, and out of the kindness of their own hearts. They expect nothing in return other than to be able to enjoy time in the community that they help to build and maintain.
 
Thank you, Famstaff Team. You are Famcraft. <3

 Thank you to our owner. While you may rarely see Micah in chat, he is always around to take care of us. He stays in the background, quietly. He never comes forth to take the credit he is due. He never asks for anything in return for providing Famcraft for us but he keeps us up and running. We know it means a great deal to him to know you all have a safe, happy, family friendly place to enjoy Minecraft. I know he might thinks it sounds a bit silly to say, but I think he love us, yall. :3
 
Micah - You are Famcraft. <3

 Thank you to the other admins, Kealper and Thoatt. They are the heartbeat of the server. They keep everything running as smooth as silk. This takes a LOT more work than you'd ever guess. Maintaining Famcraft is absolutely a full time job, and one the whole team is entirely devoted to. Each of us checks on the server around the clock. It is very much a  priority for us to know Famcraft is safe and running well. We know we will be here till the last player logs in. We're in this for the long haul so yall are kinda stuck with us.

 Kealper and Thoatt, You are Famcraft. <3

 On a personal note, without going into too much detail- this has been an incredibly rough past year for me. Some days have been particularly difficult. I've not been able to be as active here as I like to be. When I am here, I am not always up to a great deal of direct interaction but I want you all to know that even on my darkest days you've somehow managed to put a smile on my face. Seeing chat, quietly checking out your builds and new skyblocks, or hearing plans for your upcoming projects or clans, it all brightens my life. Famcraft is my safe place too. Thank you all for making it such a beautiful place to be. I love you all. <3333333333333333

 Thank you all so much for these six incredible years. I look forward to many more.
 
 We are Famcraft. <33333333333

 Happy 6th Birthday, Famcraft!
 
 

 Each time we unban this account chat gets turned back on and she spams and spams. Is there some way you can keep an extra close eye on things if we try this again? It can be quite disruptive.

 Thank you for posting a plea.

 Anytime you break or place in another player's area without their permission, it is considered griefing. Griefing is never allowed on Famcraft.
 I will unban you now but I do ask that you return to the home and remove any and all signs you placed there. Thank you. Please remember to always be respectful of your fellow Famcrafters.
 See you on the server.

 The Famcraft family of servers is currently experiencing some connection issues. We are aware of this and are working to get the servers back online as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

UPDATE: While we work through the connection problems for the regular servers, you'll now be put into a temporary creative world where you can play in creative until the main servers are back up!
Please read the signs at spawn when you log in, they explain everything in detail!

FINAL UPDATE: The servers are back to normal again. Sorry about the disruption and happy Famcrafting!

 Nah. You had enough issues here we're comfortable leaving you banned. Farewell.

The times vary daily. It's all according to staff availability and the player population over the course of the day.

We are aware of the current server issues. The admin team is working to restore server functionality now. We should be back up shortly. Thanks for your patience!
