Congrats I like to say this is the best minecraft server as well! It is the only one I play on now! I adore you and everyone else and am glad to be a part of this celebration! Thank you for including us! We love you and thanks for all the hard work and dedication you put into this server! <3 Skitz
Congratz krysyy! Aikar's 5 years is coming soon also, right? Giving away likes is legal so dont worry =P
He's 3 days after me, which falls tomorrow I think. I have no idea if he's planning on anything though, since he's been busy.
I sure am glad that I logged into emc and found out what an awesome place it was but I wanna tell ya.. I'm sure glad Krysyy did that before me and helped Aikar make emc what it is today. I love this server and I know there is no way it would be as globally wonderful as it is today without Krysyy helping to steer and guide with a good and kind heart and Always! Always! having the players be the first priority. This is not a place you just luck out into making. It takes dedication and lots of hard work. Thank you to our Community Manager who more often than not goes above and beyond what most wouldn't bother with. We're so lucky to have her. You rock you Red Dragon. =]
To clarify, JustinGuy founded it along with IcecreamCow, who used to go by GamkribJEREMY. Justinguy stepped down and handed ownership over to Aikar, and IcecreamCow left later on.
... This is deep already for a server this size. Although I hope there will be many new members and (not) letting old ones go, it has to happen. Also, OMG. It is 1 year younger AT MOST than Minecraft 1.0. I am surprised you are not at #1 yet. I have some ideas but I won't post em here. Somewhere else.
EMC runs in the Eastern United States. Aikar is in New York, I think, and the server itself is in Florida (I can't check because the hard drive I used to store that information is broken).
