Hello everyone! While my management team has been tormenting under my rule and working on the Minecraft servers, and expanding to other games, I have been just having fun creating new gaymer dad content to expand on the dad jokes! There will be new content coming regularly including Patch Notes: Fatherhood Edition, Screenshot Tuesdays, and more! You can see it all on https://aethro.net/gaymerdad Hopefully this makes you laugh, cringe, roll your eyes or ask WTF PAUL as Jack does normally all the time with every dad joke I make! Note: No staff are actually being tormented...normally

Hey folks! We’ve been doing a little spring cleaning around the server—fixing, updating, and yeeting anything that wasn’t up to par. Here’s what’s new: ✨ Plugin Updates Galore: These plugins just got a fresh coat of code: ajLeaderboards – now with 100% more leaderboard flex. Anticheat – better anti-cheat to catch all the sneaky creeps. AuraSkills – skills rebalanced and smoothed out. AxTrade & AxVaults – trading and storing, now less janky. BetterFarming – fewer bugs, better crops. ChestProtect – because griefers suck. Citizens – your NPCs are now slightly less brain-dead. CMILib – tech magic that keeps everything else alive. DecentHolograms – cleaner floating text, now 50% sassier. EconomyShopGUI – shopping should feel good, not buggy. EpicRename – name your gear stupid things without errors. Essentials + EssentialsSpawn – the lifeblood of civilization. GSit – now sit, lay, and vibe without hiccups. Jobs – earn that cash with fewer annoyances. Mclogs – better logging = better server support. Multiverse-Inventories – cleaning up your alt world chaos. Nightcore – your world’s aesthetic just got sharper. Pl-Hide-Free – hiding backend nonsense like a ninja. 💀 Minions: FIRED. They were glitchy freeloaders who refused to work half the time. They’re gone. Get a job, Minions. 🎨 COMING LATER TODAY: New Creative World! Yep, you read that right—we’re launching a Creative World later today! Inventories will not carry over from survival. No item dupes. No funny business. Ask a staff member to claim your own protected WorldGuard zone—your builds, your space, no griefing. Let your creativity go wild without wrecking the main world. Come build, explore, and enjoy the updates! More chaos, content, and caffeine-fueled improvements soon. — The Aethro Team, professionally breaking and fixing things since day one

The Aethro Discord has been fully overhauled, and we’ve officially started rebuilding Aethro Listings from the ground up. This is a full-scale shift—not just cleanup. We’re aligning everything with what actually works, cutting the bloat, and rebuilding based on purpose, not tradition. Here’s what’s live now—and what’s still on the way. 🧱 Discord Rebuilt From ScratchThe entire server has been reorganized with clarity and purpose. The new layout is clean, functional, and ready for growth. ✅ What’s Done:New, streamlined Gaming hub Community section trimmed and refreshed Unified ticket system (Listings + Gaming support) New roles with real purpose Opt-in roles for Listings and updates Flair roles for identity and fun (LGBTQ+, Builder, etc.) The server no longer reads like a forgotten wiki page. It works. 🌍 Aethro Listings — In ProgressAethro Listings is shifting away from being just another Minecraft vote list. We're building something better: a curated showcase platform that highlights high-quality, inclusive, community-driven servers. But it’s not ready yet. ⚠️ What’s Coming Soon:A completely rebuilt AethroListings.com Website-based server submissions and updates Curated listings with screenshots, tags, and profiles Featured Servers handpicked by the Listings team Right now, the Listings section of the Discord is still under construction, and the website is not yet live. We’ll post a full announcement when it opens to users. 🎮 Aethro Gaming — Streamlined and StableMinecraft players can now access the Gaming hub through a single role. No more scattered channels or inactive side rooms. What’s included: #aethro-discussion for all Minecraft server chat #downloads-area for modpacks and info #feedback for bugs/suggestions #player-screenshots for build sharing #event-hall for in-game or Discord events 🧠 Why This MattersWe’re not just changing structure—we’re changing direction. No more fake voting systems, no more role bloat, no more confusing server sprawl. This is a cleaner, more useful Aethro—focused on real community, real games, and real value. 🛠️ What You Can Do Right NowJoin the convo in #community-chat Apply for staff via #join-the-team Open a ticket in #support-tickets if you need help Keep an eye on announcements for the Listings site launch Thanks for your patience while we finish this rebuild. This isn’t a patch. It’s a whole new foundation. – Paul
