I prefer modded but can't view the blog because blogspot is blocked where I am now. Back in the US next weekend...
I should have also said, so I'll try out the vanilla one till then.
I normally play SP. Any guidelines on separation, like 200 from spawn etc?
Is it survival or creative? Allow mode switches or not? Some of the screenshots look like flying.
Hey dave! Welcome to MS. Both servers are survival only. As far as separation, people like to keep spawntown (on Vanilla) looking nice, so I usually go out about 100 blocks or so because I'm not a great builder, but there's no firm rule on that, as long as there isn't like, a wooden box in the center of spawntown.
Basic rules for any community apply, really, just don't be a jerk (i.e. no griefing, stealing, building in other people's property, etc.)
For modded, same basic rules, but nothing really about spawn. We all go out on our own pretty much and visit each other from time to time
You've been added to the whitelist for Vanilla for now.

AFAIK, a player actively loads a 3x3 chunk area around their position. Unless he, or someone else, is in the area for the entire growth cycle, he won't see any changes.

What? They only grow if you're around them? What the fuck?
yep. To keep the server from disintegrating, essentially, the game unloads areas if no one is in them. Otherwise you'd have areas loaded all the time, be unable to have an infinite world/map, and serious lag pretty much constantly.

What you need to do is make sure that you are standing directly on top of the melon stalk. If you can't get up on there, just keep.jumping. Then watch them for 3 hours give or take an hour.

Space above where the melon grows can't be blocked (no idea why). Putting the pistons under the dirt where the melon will grow will harvest them and keep the stalks intact.
They need to be sticky pistons.
The other way you could this is a line of regular pistons facing the grow space.
xyz
Where x is the stalk, y is the melon, and z is the piston facing y. If you don't have slime balls, that's the way I'd think to do it. You'd need to increase the width by at least... 5 in the center. 2 spaces for each line of pistons, 2 spaces for each line of repeaters, and one space for the redstone down the middle. There's probably a more efficient design though - I'm a caveman at redstone.
This person would receive OP rights for the purpose of adding people to the whitelist when/if necessary (I'm pretty good about seeing these quickly but if you're already around that's awesome too), helping out with bugs/glitches, refunding oopsies, etc. Preferably it should be someone who spends a lot of time on the Vanilla server and is easy for me and others to reach. Also someone responsible so there's no OP ABOOS.
I just finished work on a pretty huge maze... I think it's something like ~4000 blocks? I ended up blocking myself in while finishing it and it took me 25 minutes to find my way out. Lol. I'm going to finish the roofing/cosmetics/victory room tomorrow...
@MODS: Any way we can get some sort of prizes put in chests at the end of the maze?
That's what we did on the old server and it was really great

Spoiler: Some screenies from the modded server
These are just mine, cuz I don't know what other people want to share.
This is how I started. Just enough walls to protect me at night, a hole in the ground for initial mining of resources, and a little farm.
The idea I had was to make a floating base above water. I wanted something with enough space to hold everything I wanted. This is the initial outline for the platform. It has a radius of 32.5 (counting the center block).
Then I added a power hub underneath, to hold my main power generation for machines (a Big Reactor):
Under that is the first observation deck, where I'm growing sugar cane.
Looking up from the next deck down.
I sectioned off the quadrants for different purposes. Top left is farms. Top right is tech and magic. Bottom left is displays (armor, hats, trophies, etc) and enchanting. And the bottom right will be storage and an airship dock.
As you can see in the last one, I started adding petals to the outer edge. They will go all the way around. The base will be called "The Lotus". I also finally capped off the water flow under the sugar cane. The next deck will be surrounded by a tree orchard, with many of the fruit trees from Pam's Harvestcraft.
Edit: Orchard deck complete.
And switched the old tree area over to a Pam's garden.

Does anyone object to a reorganization of the OP?
I'd like to remove the PE/Xbox info because neither of our servers are accessible from those platforms and I don't know why it's there. Also wanted to clean it up a bit. It's rather cluttered.
Does anyone object to me spoilering in the current whitelist/player usernames in the OP?
Otherwise, I will output a list to google docs weekly and distribute the link to the co-admins. I hate rebuilding these things/searching the thread for usernames, and if or when someone else takes over, I want to make it easy for them to pick it up without issue.

In addition to the aforementioned randomness of user pages, I've used the wiki to create pages for MishMash Survivor games, and much Song Contest information is stored there. I don't think one page for MS's Minecraft community should hurt anything.
This now exists under Minecraft (probably something better to call it... but.. this will do).
Feel free to spiff it up with your mad wiki skillz if you have em - just don't edit the lists.

Lol those are wisps from thaumcraft. The little guys with backpacks are pechs. Also thaumcraft. The wisps are hostile mobs. The oechs are only hostile if you mess with them, but they'll trade thaumstuff for expensive things like gold.

Rhi - Dav is directly east of spawn, and I'm a little farther east. If you hit the volcano biome, go north and you'll find my place.
You should spawn with a book from Tinker's Construct. My advice would be to start with Tinkers For power, mekanism is the easiest and best to start with. easily upgradeable once you get some resources going, has the diginiminer and the ultimate processing items (can up to 5x ores!)

About how long should it take? Hmm... well.. if you just go straight to mining, rather than prettifying shelter, maybe a few hours or so to get from nothing to basic processing and intro power.

Look up aroma1997 in NEI as well and make the portal. dav, oso and I have one. iLooks like stone bricks with bright cyan molding. It leads to the mining dimension that is eternal day and mob-free
edit: it's also super flat but has caves and stuff!

Modded Server:
Hi hi! Someone is pulling things out of an enderchest with the code white-white-white, which is generally reserved for community use. This isn't really a rule or anything so it's not like you would have known, but another enderchest and a sacred oak sapling have been lost into it because someone has it hooked up to some system that is removing the items. Please don't do that Change the code or put a diamond on it, and let me know who you are so I can recover the enderchest and sapling from you.

Modded can't really function properly without them working, this is pretty serious
For now, MFR chunkloaders are being provided along with a power and essence frequency on a tesseract (777)

mk -
If you need to replace a chicken chunks chunkloader, admin anchors are located at spawn. If you haven't made one yet but later on need one, just make a chicken chunks chunk loader and trade it with an anchor from the chest.
