Well that is exactly the poll i wanted to make a while ago, and somehow i mange to forget it.
Anyway, this is a great idea,
but even if fatnoob decide to create another server, it may take a while, as he will need to get new map/spawn, plugins, and maybe even more staff.

I think with Foob is that he likes his servers to be available to play for anyone. Not everybody can play with mods on their computer. I believe you need 6gb of RAM at least, allowing you to allocate four of them to FTB, that's also with minimal settings, you'd need a more than decent computer to get anything above 35fps at normal settings methinks. I personally haven't played FTB, but it's just what I've read or heard, sorry if it's wrong .

Well a lot of people on the server can barely play Vanilla Minecraft as well, so it's really their own choice :p Most people got a good enough computer to run FTB at decent fps.

Also FTB will only hit your FPS if you make big machinery, I get about 130fps on Vanilla and 120 on FTB with just a new generated world, so it's not an insane difference.

this would be fun, tho I don't see ho it would work...

i also don't know how to install mods, and that's a major problem right there...

While we really appreciate that you seem to like the way we run things and are making suggestions to us we really have no plans at this time to venture away from Vanilla Minecraft servers at this time. We don't like the limited access that using a modded version of Minecraft means for players who aren't really sure how to use/install mods (what you think is really easy to do might be extremely confusing to some).

When using features such as those offered by Feed the Beast you are really in the control of the mod creators and as has been seen with many of those similar packages issues result in compatabilty issues and lack of continued development support; that causes problems like resets and crashes which are things we really want to avoid in a public server environment. As a result of the way modding is currently done it is likely to always be slightly unstable.

Once Minecraft's official plugin API is out this may change as the use/control of changes to clients will be much easier to add and control, but at this time we aren't going to spread into modded client servers.
