    Hey there!

    This is BBGun2821. My wife and I had a minecraft itch again and wanted to come back to our home server again with you all! However, with the recent conversion with Mojang and Microsoft, I lost my account under the name BBGun2821. I've since created a new account under the name Keith2821, and am waiting for the username switch timer to uplift so I can claim the username again. (Took a while to get into the old account and change the name.)

    If you're willing to whitelist my name until I can acquire the old username, I would appreciate it! I'm waiting about a month for it.

    As a conclusion:
    Old account: BBGun2821, lost account, already whitelisted.
    New account: Keith2821

    Thanks so much; let me know what you need from me to make it happen! Excited to see some of you again!

    There are some moderators online in-game but afk. Hopefully by a day or two, this account can get whitelisted by a moderator. Good to see you back even though I haven't seen you yet! Do you want to carry over your player data or forum data to this account or start fresh?

    If player data exists with my old account by all means, I'd love to have it transferred. I'm not sure what all is left of the SVS server, which is pretty much what I spent all my time on. I was the one that built the Billie Eilish "Bad Guy" redstone contraption a few years ago, if you've ever heard of that.

    The SVS or Normal has got reset in 2022. So, you have to start again. For more infomation about the new normal, click this link: https://www.sandlotminecraft.com/threads/normal-server-2022-reset-back-to-basics.37417/

    Welcome back! Please fill out a new whitelist for this account. You can add “+username“ before the @ to your email address to create a new one that is still the old one but works for this purpose. The new account will need a new forums account to whitelist it. Also, if you’re on a switch, you’ll be a bedrock account.
    I’m afk in-game atm but trying to watch.

    I am not entirely sure what platform you're referencing with the instructions for "+username". However, I've just created a new account under a different email I have, and I suppose that will work too. Just let me know if that's what you needed from me, otherwise if able please clarify the first part of your instructions.

    Thanks!

    One of the difficulties players have during the application process is to have more than one email for another account. "username" or "gamertag" are other ways of referring to the account name; Bedrock players usually use a "gamertag". To create an extra email account that will automatically send all mail to the main account you can do the "+name" before the @ to end up with a unique email for whitelisting. The "name" can be anything, really, or the player account name, as you wish. No specific platform is referred to in this.
    Also, you will notice that as a bedrock account, you'll have a "." added to your account name when you log into the server. It is only for our server and is unique to bedrock players.

    I think I understand. I use the Java edition and am on PC. So I'm assuming that if I already have another email I use that it's no issue just signing up here with that one?

    Agree.
    For some reason I had the impression you would be using a switch(which uses the bedrock version).
