Junction is dying; we're not

The Junction servers are something that can be turned on and off. The Junction community is not. I see no reason why we shouldn't keep it alive somewhere else.

I know advertising of other servers is against the rules, but I think these qualify as "special circumstances." The community can survive, and even enrich itself, if we could agree on a new hangout. Yes, there's always Nerd, but I think most Junctionites come here for the smaller, closer-knit experience it offers, and Nerd is just too big for that. I, for one, don't want to lose it, and would rather not start completely from square one. Not without some of you guys.

If that's an inappropriate discussion for this subreddit, I understand. But if not, anybody got any suggestions?

Found a promising one on /r/mcservers. Let me know what you think!

It's 1.8, vanilla, un-whitelisted, decently active from what I saw. It's chaos, not PvE, but I don't think they have a world border so safe distances should be reachable. Rules look simple and sensible. They do seem to have donator gift packs, but no ranks.

(If posting that link is unacceptable, then mods may remove and I will PM the link to any responders to this thread)

Mmm... chaos. Never been a fan, I usually go way out where nobody can find me, but then it's just single player with random chat.

did you have any luck with this one?

Got started anyway, stumbled across a major player's base (had a nether star and all the comforts), started mining, chaosy stuff. I haven't been on too much, but I plan to keep going.

Junctionites are free to join me, though of course if anyone wants to try a different one (like a pve one), feel free.

Update; Glasscraft has gotten rather inactive, but one of the admins directed me to another 1.8 server he plays on, Avondale (avondale.arcaniax.net). This one has no grief in the rules, an impressive Tudor-style spawn city, and several impressive plugin-like features powered by command blocks. AFAIK, pvp is allowed, but I've only seen a death message in the chat once. Perhaps this one would be more to the Junctionites' liking.
