This is my formal apology and (in all likelihood) last message to the server. At the beginning, when I joined the server in May of 11', I was still rather new to Minecraft. After getting killed several times on my way to try to find a suitable place to build a house, a mod (sorry, I don't remember who) gave me some (albeit slightly damaged) armor and tools to fend for myself that night. It was then and there that I realized that CFUK was something different. Early that summer, my friend told me about a mod pack, called Zombe's mod pack. Upon further inspection of it, I realized it had a cheat function, which, unfortunately, included x-ray mod. For the next 3 or so months, I went on a diamond mining rampage. Around the beginning of August, I learned that mods of this type were banned, and immediately ditched the mod, because I didn't want to jeopardize my place on the server. I think I would have ditched the mod soon after any ways, because illegitimately acquired diamonds are a lot less rewarding than finding diamonds the hard way. For the next 5 months after that, I had lot's of good times. We went through a map change, 1.0 came out, as well as Christmas and many sever map border expansions. Then, just last month, I had to start a month long English project, so I didn't get on the server that much. Then, just this week, I finished the project and decided to get on the server to celebrate. When I tried to get on, though, I was told I was banned. After digging around a little (no pun intended) I learned I was banned for my alleged x-ray mod use all those months ago. I feel that it is my duty to apologize to Broonie, the mods, and a couple of good friends I made on the server (Qotsa, tacospwn), as well as the entire server in general. Through this whole ordeal, I've recently learned that I was apparently considered a respected member, and I owed you guys more. To put it bluntly, I let you all down. I'm not asking to get unbanned because
1: My ban appeal has already been denied
2: I respect the rules as much as everybody else and know that this example must be made to warn others on the server.
I also give a warning to any new players on the server who may be reading this: don't use x-ray mods. I know, the temptation may be great, and maybe for a while, you may be legitimately having fun. But as seen here, the mods will always eventually catch you (even if it is months after you last used an x-ray mod, as seen by my case). As I also said earlier, finding diamonds the hard way is a lot more rewarding than cheating for them. If you are joining the server purely to use it as a place to mine a lot of diamond and show off, then either leave now or reconsider your position. This server is amazing. It has extraordinary people, fun community builds, and a goofy all-around experience, while still keeping the survival aspect of Minecraft intact. To me, there will never be another server that I will play on that was quite as good as CFUK. I will truly miss playing here and wish you all the best of luck for the rest of your lives in whatever endeavors you may undertake. Once again, I apologize to Broonie and the mods. You guys trusted me, deserved more from me, and I let you all down. Goodbye everybody, I wish you all good futures.
Sorry to see you go mate but just one quick point.
If you said you got rid of xray before the new map. then how come there is very obvious evidence of xray use on the current map, yet evidence shows that when you were last on (7 days ago) there is evidence of X-ray use.
Im sorry but i think you've been lying to us...
I will miss you...
I still remember when I did that contest and won 2 diamond blocks from you. You were kind and gave your diamonds away even when you cheated for them.
Lets hope we meet again someday
