Work had me occupied for most of the day. I'll address all the issues I can.
Technic launcher is worthless for the server at the moment.
tesfan.mchost.org = Vanilla Minecraft launcher -or- Spoutcraft
tesfan.mchost.org:25566 = Tekkit 1.0 Minecraft Install Launcher
Let me know if you have any issues/crashing while using that setup. If you've lost the Tekkit 1.0 install, or would like info on getting a clean, working install, let me know in a PM.
Which is why I don't like the 'join our forum=insta access to the server' idea. >_>
Server hasn't been posted anywhere publicly, but this site. Most issues should be solvable in short by a mod or Admin, or can be reversed. A more robust system for access will be setup before any kind of public listing occurs. A populated server is more fun than an empty server, and we'll never have a busy population with our current member size. Sure, a few griefers will eventually come, but they won't stay long. There really isn't a difference from the current whitelist from the last, other than it being easier to get added to it, and having a direct forum that translates to your minecraft name.
