Really nice and minimalistic design on the launcher, looking forward to that.
Also, a shame that I couldn't attend the buildcon, it looks really impressive. Hope that'll happen again some time.

Sweet, they used my photo! Now I feel like Im a part of something.

I'm making another map for the competition so look out for that! It should be done in the next 3-4 days.

The launcher looks amazing!

Suggestion for the launcher: Remove the "show news" function and set it to off/false, as I don't think it works anymore with the old website being gone, and is pretty much obsolete because of that.

Already done . That's an old picture of the launcher.

Every thing seems good I am just a bit mad I wasn't there to help make it but thats ok. Stack, the launcher should be a launcher in the sense that spadlle was a launcher. Instead of it launching the server page in your browser it should be on the launcher itself. This way in the future we can have more features like the clans and friends systems we were talking about earlier.

the Event were really awesome...you admins should do more events like that :) - maybe 1-2 hours earlier :D

oh and by the way, I really like the custom bns newsletter art. Maybe it could be a mini-comp for people to send in their own art and the best one would get chosen.
