	It depends on your definition of "server" and the criteria you are using to determine which is the oldest. We are "one of the oldest known Minecraft servers". The server went online the day of the release of Minecraft Multiplayer Wed Aug 04 10:12:39 PDT 2010, hosting [[rbos]]' infdev single-player world - and has not reset its' map since [1][2][3]. We also host a [[creative]] world with builds copied over from [[rbos]]' old Minecraft Classic server. The server has had limited downtime, mainly for server maintenance and when updating to a new patch.

			'''What are "Diamonds of Player Bribery"?<br>'''
			"Diamonds of Player Bribery" are regular diamonds that are given to new players upon spawning.


			'''How long does it take to obtain a green name?<br>'''
			Players can obtain a green name by playing a cumulative total of 2 hours. Players can check their playtime using the command /playtime.


			'''Can I become a moderator?<br>'''
			No.


			'''How many hoppers can I have in a chunk?<br>'''
			50 per chunk.


			'''Are flying machines allowed on the server?<br>'''
			It's a grey area. Typically, we allow them as long as they are not constantly running.


			'''Where can I find food on the server?<br>'''
			Players can use the command /dial noobfeeder or check the farm at /dial topside to find food.


			'''Why is the Discord in slowmode?<br>'''
			To prevent spam and make things more manageable for the moderators.


			'''What are your policies on language / age inappropriate content?'''

			It's very circumstantial, in the proper context some language is tolerated, but language for languages sake will not be tolerated. Please keep non-platonic content private.


			'''Is it okay to be racist, sexist, or any other kind of bigot on the server?'''

			Of course not, this server abides by the same rules as polite company.


			'''Is LAAAAGGG!!! the appropriate way to let us know you're experiencing lag?'''

			Absolutely not, it does nothing but frustrates the higher ups. Every server is plagued with issues from time to time, and the best was to handle it is to politely state the issue. (Block lag? Warping Lag? Loading Lag?) Try /tps to see if maybe it is YOU who lags.


			'''Can I have free stuff?'''

			No. Unless you can type, then do /kit.


			'''Who runs this server?'''

			Rbos is the owner, the day to day stuff is handled by the mod team.


			'''Will the LagBeast punish the souls of those who do not follow the rules of the server?'''

			Yes.


			'''If I go on a hike and am forced to drink unfiltered/untreated water, will I have the most painful diarrhea I've ever experienced?'''

			Yes. Giardia Lamblia is a bitch.
