The Sandlot is celebrating 10 amazing years online! Thank you!

I joined the sandlot April 25 2015.
Sandlot means… literally everything to me. It is so friendly, amazing, helpful, funny and it’s like my family/home to me.

My favorite thing to do here is build with friends on creative. I love spending time with them and getting inspired by their builds!

 

Sandlot means a lot to me, its the only server I've been in and ever since 2016-2018, (whenever I joined idk anymore,) I've loved it ever since then, the people are nice and fun to be around. There's just so much I could talk about and I am thankful for this server. My favorites are Easy and Creative. Creative mainly because of how much work I put into that one skywars map. And Easy because Ive spent so much time in it. Im glad this server exists.

 

Happy 10 years!! Here's to 10 more!!

I joined in October 2013, and it's been my favorite safe space to play in Minecraft ever since! I absolutely love the community and being free from the toxicity and cyberbullying present on pretty much every other Minecraft server. I enjoy building in Easy Survival, in my own private spot in the End Dimension, but still being able to invite others to hang out with (versus being alone in singleplayer!) I also love flying around and seeing all of the amazing builds on the Easy server, and going to help others with their own builds! Also throwing extravagant Minecraft parties!!

 

I joined November 20th, 2018, so 3 years just passed! I enjoy the sandlot greatly because it is a nice escape to work on fun projects and to take a break from life for a while. One of my favorite things I do around here is play the survival worlds. Hardcore, SvS, and easy are really fun to play (especially hardcore) because each of them have new and different elements to bring to the table. The sandlot is awesome, and it has been a great way to spend my time these past few years!

 

I joined this server on March 26th, 2016! When my mom and I first found the Sandlot, we were looking for family friendly servers for my 8 year old self to be entertained by; we figured it'd be temporary fun and then I'd move on like I did with most of my phases P). Clearly this was not the case, I'm very thankful that I returned and am still as active as I can be today. I never expected a Minecraft server to have such an influence on my life, but it's absolutely a positive one and I don't know where I would be without it now. It's very comforting to have a place to turn to for support, safety, and overall positive energy. I know I can always rely on the community here- it has never failed to cheer me up after a bad day, cause me to laugh until I cry, and give me the best experience possible. The Sandlot is very special place, thanks to all of you guys. :,)

It's so cool to see how the Sandlot has progressed over the years, even if I haven't been here since the beginning. The server has evolved with us, and it's great to see how the community's builds, suggestions, and hard work has shaped the server in addition to the insane amount of hard work put in by cheracc, c0w, was, and the mod team. I seriously can't thank you guys enough, your patience, determination, dedication to the server and so much more is such a huge reason the Sandlot is as wonderful as it is today!

It's so difficult to choose a favorite thing, but interacting with the community has to be at the top of my list. I've met so many people here who have had such drastic impacts on me (positively, of course). I've learned a lot from all of you and am very grateful for y'all putting up with me, especially during my younger years.

The 10th Anniversary is immensely exciting and I can't wait for all of the events planned! Except maybe the return of 00JQ... although, I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle. Thank you guys for putting this together, I'm extremely hyped and the time put into all of these events is very appreciated. Happy (almost) 10th birthday, Sandlot!

 

I joined the Sandlot in May of 2015, when I was still a wee little lad, and soon after I had gotten Minecraft. I didn’t do much back then besides ruin my KDR in hungergames and just mess around on some of the servers. I was sometimes inactive for a while then I’d jump back on for some time. It wasn’t until April of 2020 that I actually joined forums (which is a relief, because who knows what cringey posts I might have made) and became consistently active on Sandlot. For me Sandlot means a wonderful chill place with lots of other cool people to hangout with. I can’t decide my most favorite server (I like all the servers) but I really like easy, skywars, and hard. Easy for an easy place to build cool things in survival, skywars for the pvp, and hard for the monthly challenge. To ten years of so much fun on Sandlot and to many more to come.

 

just came back for my monthly forum check and found that this exists

thanks for 10 years of fun memories! ive been enjoying the 3 years i've been on and all the funny, sad, and wild adventures and memories ive had.

i joined the sandlot in june 2018, some time before my birthday, and since then ive had so much fun (even though i was very cringe and broke the rules a few times ).
of course, now im inactive, but im still grateful for everything the sandlot has given me. from friendships, imagination, trust, and even forgiveness when i did something wrong.

so once again, (and im making a long post because i just dont post a lot lol) i say
thank you.

I'm not sure of the exactly when I joined, but I have clear memory of in 2015, I was beyond excited to hop on to Easy after school and play with my friends, and I don't remember still learning my way around the server, so my best guess is that I joined between mid to late 2014. Wow... seven years. The Sandlot means many things to me, but I'll try not to make this TOO long. (I'll probably throw this out the window later)
The Sandlot has been a huge part of my childhood. There are people here that I've known for years. The Sandlot is the best server I'm aware of, and for many years, it was the only one I had! Up until earlier this year, I had no other servers in my list, because the Sandlot contented me perfectly. (Others are for irl friends/school.) And, really, it still does. The Sandlot offers me a place to step away when life gets crazy. To have a laugh with friends, or just take a moment to calm down and focus on something that really makes me happy. Here, I make new friends. (I have more friends here than I actually do in-person.) It brings me so much joy. I've gotten to be a part of this wonderful, growing server for seven years... that absolutely blows my mind. Thank you, to all of the mods. To everyone who has contributed to this server. You've helped bring me more joy than I could express.
There are too many amazing things to do here to choose one. A few years ago, my favourite activity was to role-play in Creative, or to play with CheetahDog in the old Easy. Now, I love spectating hunger games (and occasionally participating in them,) progressing in SkyBlock, and trying to continue nyankour3 with @cxttoncandy ... I still haven't finished it and I started in April, but it's good fun!
I love this server. This is an amazing place.

 

I joined The Sandlot on July 8th 2020 and since then I have played at LEAST once a week, and I have met so many great people and friends, and I am so grateful for it and it has helped me through these tough couple of years for all of us. <3

 

I joined on December 27th, 2017- So nearly four years! After about 4-5 years of constantly playing minecraft on my single player world, I decided I should be social and join a server. The Sandlot was the first minecraft server I joined, and the only one I've stuck around on for four years.

I honestly don't know where I would be right now if it wasn't for The Sandlot. I've met so many incredible people on this server, and the community really does feel like a family to me. This community has never failed to cheer me up if I've had a bad day, and I've made many great memories on this server. I'm so grateful to be able to play on a server like this one, and I'm so thankful to the mods and everyone who work so hard to make this server a safe and positive place for us to play on. Thank you all.

 

• I joined in August 2016, after playing a bit of Minecraft solo.
• This was back when Pyros was still big, and I hated them. They always killed the small players. It was an on and off battle for 3 years.
• I love PVP still, especially skywars. It's very fun.
• I'll probably never become a Helper or Mod, due to my ban history (mainly due to me being kind of a jerk when I was younger, sorry.), but I still have some hope.

 

I joined Sandlot December 23, 2020, I remember the Christmas lobby last year like it was yesterday.

I found myself being very bored playing single player alone on Minecraft, and then I found myself playing multiplayer with my friends, and they stopped playing on [that] and I was left back to single player when my friends (@RonnieRolled and @Phoenix__Queen_ ) told me about the Sandlot.

- I started playing on easy survival for a time and I then I got too busy to play
- I then jumped from server to server and discovered that I really liked Arenas (though I usually can't find a lot of people to play arenas with.)
- So at the moment I am pretty active on forums (not on the server as much) and I'm trying my best to help out and also socialize with people. Sandlot really means a lot to me because there are so many kind and supportive people, and that it is such a safe server. I thank you all for making the Sandlot experience truly amazing. After all, when I play Minecraft, I always look forward to meet you guys on the servers. Thank you so much for making the Sandlot experience truly the best!

The sandlot means so much to be. It's changed me as a person! The sandlot has had a huge impact on my life, even just for a year of being here. I joined July 8th, 2020. The sandlot is like a second family, as those above have mentioned.
The sandlot is in incredible place and I'm thrilled to be apart of the stunning and wonderful comunity. If you're having a rough day, the sandlot will ALWAYS cheer you up, no matter what. It's just an incredible place to be in, and I'm more than grateful for it. It's so fun to hang out with the people in the sandlot and do all kinds of wonderous things - even the odd times!
I love to hang out with people that I talk to in any server and do all kinds of things! I enjoy going around in creative and chatting, as well as finding inspo builds from the builds I see dotted around. I love easy, hard, and all the severs! The Sandlot is so amazing and I'm so thankful for it! 10 years is HUGE!!! <3

I joined sandlot back in september 24, 2020. And sandlot meant a lot to me because i had new friends on there and amazing builds to make And my favorite thing to do is playing hardcore survival with friends because december hard is always amazing ( and so is other months but december mostly always has snow in it )

 

I have a feeling that the admins have agreed with this, and it's all planned... ?
