Announcements

Hello members of MC-Market! So here I am, writing another announcement just like a while ago. And oh yes, it's a very exciting one! :) So most of you can agree on the fact that MC-Market has seen brighter days. It's been a real rollercoaster the past few weeks. I'm pleased to announce that I am the new owner and administrator of MC-Market! :tup: It was official on the 1st of April but just to avoid any confusion, we've decided to announce it a day later. Just to make it clear, this is NOT an April fools joke! Now... I have quickly decided to perform some small changes which should make...

Hello folks, As you have probably noticed, we’ve made a few changes around here. The purpose of this announcement is to inform you of those changes. The resources systems has been updated. The Resources section has changed slightly. We recently fixed up the issue prevents members from adding prices to their resources. Premium and Supreme members can now add prices to their resources again. In addition, resource authors may now add terms and conditions that a member must accept when purchasing their resource. We’ve added a TeamSpeak integration. You may or may not have noticed this...

Hello everyone, This is just a short notice announcement to let you know that we have planned some emergency server maintenance 29th of February. We have been getting a excessive amount of DDoS attacks for the past week which our infrastructure simply can't hold. As we'll be going through full server resets the expected downtime is 4 hours. We will be doing some heavy improvements on our server and software. These upgrades should make our general server infrastructure much safer and faster. For you techy geeks: We'll be doing a full reinstall, upgrading to PHP7, MariaDB 10+ and all other...

Hello fellow community members, This is just a quick announcement to let you know that the administration team has planned some server and website maintenance and updates on February 28, 2016 at 3am EST. We estimate that the downtime that will experienced during this time should be no more than 2 hours, assuming all goes as planned. Here's a countdown to the maintenance: http://itsalmo.st/#mcmarketmaintenance. That's all for now.

Hello fellow community members, We haven't written up one of these update type announcements in a while, so I figured I would write one up for you guys to give you some updates on what's been happening, why it's been happening and stuff like that. I plan to do these more often for you guys to keep you in the loop about what kinds of stuff that we are doing, as I know we haven't been doing the best job on that. With that being said, let's hop right into it shall we? Lost Data As most of you are aware, MC-Market suffered from data loss on January 25, 2015. On this day, the most important...

Hello, On January 31, 2016 we will doing some maintenance to our infrastructure to fix the recent performance issues on the forum. MC-Market will be completely inaccessible during the maintenance period. The maintenance being performed is all backend related, so although you most likely won't be seeing anything different in terms of features, you will hopefully notice a performance increase. The maintenance will be held at 11AM CET or 5AM EST. As this quite the project and there is a possibility things may not go as planned, we aren't able to know how long the maintenance will take...

Hello, On the 18th of January we will have a short amount of downtime for some maintenance. MC-Market will be unaccessible during that time. This shouldn't take long. The maintenance will be held at 1PM EST or 7PM CET. A countdown can be found here. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, So after roughly an hour of downtime we're back with a update! And oh boy, it's a big one. Kappa Find a list of feature additions & changes below. New shoutbox - This might still be bad looking on some themes but it should be much more efficient than the last one! Up Addon - From now on, when you want to bump your thread you can do this with a "bump" button. Regular & Premium can do this once every 24 hours. Supreme can do this every 18 hours. Ticket system - From now on, instead of PM'ing a staff member, you're able to create a ticket. This will give you much faster responses...

Hello fellow members, First of all, happy new year! I hope all of you are enjoying your New Year's Day. How fast time does fly. With a brand new year come a brand new set of rules. We took the current rules and completely rewrote them from scratch to give them a more clear and concise meaning. We feel that these new rules will make it very clear as to what is allowed and what is not allowed and we feel that these new rules will be best for the community. However, we want to hear your feedback on the new rules. These rules are in no way set in stone and we are happy to consider the...

Hello there. Just as 2015 wraps up it’s time for an announcement. Over the past 101 days of me owning MC-Market it has been quite a journey and I have not expected any of it to turn out like it has. Over the past 100 days, there have been many mistakes made and I take full responsibility for them all. Going into MC-Market from an administrator’s perspective, I could never begin to imagine how difficult it was going to be to try and keep the whole community happy. In the past week or so, I have made many terrible decisions and failed to be transparent to all of you, which is the worst...

Merry Christmas, MC-Market! Emergency Two-Factor Unfortunately, this Christmas came with a few presents which we would rather not receive. However, we have received them and due to this, we have determined that it is best to force all Premium and Supreme members to enable two-factor authentication. We want to assure you that we did not do this to be a pain to you in any way. Rather, it is for the security of our members and for MC-Market as a whole. Departing Staff After over a year of being a staff member on MC-Market, Affixes has stepped down from his moderation duties. Christmas...

Hey everyone, As you may or may not know, there has been a couple of incidents here on MC-Market lately. We need to work together in order to ensure this doesn't happen again. I believe that this is a good opportunity to highly encourage everyone to change their passwords and enable two-step verification on your account to ensure its security. Changing your password is easy and takes only a minute. Simply go to http://www.mc-market.org/account/security to change your password. The instructions should be self-explanatory. Try to choose a strong password that's at least 8 characters long...
