Alright. Let's sum things up a bit cause people keep asking the same questions.
For those who think Xnator is incapable of owning a server and that he is just power hungry:

here made by him. It's his response.
For those who think that the server is going to be a disaster cause they past 2 servers were a failure:

Now, on to responding to the people who are talking about the mistakes of the past owners:
The past owners are not us
We are completely different people, not using what they have done, and we have spent time planning all of this. We are also all HIGHLY unlikely to end up in a situation like the old owners (if you know me, you will likely know that I am very chill, and hazzenator is just never angry at anything).
All that we can do for you at the moment is show you what we have made and what our time has gone into, giving you our ideas and making you promises. You can never know exactly what the final outcome will be, but you should not try to define what we will make of this out of what the past owners did wrong. Think about what was good from the past servers, and think about what we want to do and what we can do. Forget what happened in the past, since all that still remains of that is the memories that you guys have of it. Myself and hazzenator both have experience with staffing / running Minecraft servers (hazzenator more so with experience staffing in high positions, I am the one who is more experienced in the actual making of servers and coding for them).
Hopefully you can realise that the past does not define the future, and you will not know how this will go down until you can see it. If you are willing to give us a chance, I assure you that you will not be disappointed.
I see that many people are thinking about the past. Do you remember the TTT server before Max, Tyler and Captain came? It barely had 5 active players a day from what i have heard and it was about to be shut down. But the new owners learnt from the past owners' mistakes, suggested some new ideas (like the 24/7 Minecraft map) and look at the server now. At peak times, it usually has 34/36 players. That's why in my opinion we should not instantly deny this new Minecraft server suggestion. Even if it gets accepted, that wouldn't mean that the whole ZARP community will die. In the worse case scenario, the Minecraft server will just have 0 players. But if Xnator's promises are true, they will keep suggesting new ideas, they will not resign and eventually Minecraft could become like today's TTT. If this gets accepted, i suggest that Xnator, Hazzenator and Aspect should discuss about the past server's mistakes. Make sure they don't happen on the new one and in my opinion it will not go that badly. Also for the people who think there has not been enough work put in the server, i can ensure you that even if the community accept this idea, the new Minecraft server will launch in atleast 4 months from now. So with the help of the community, this idea can build up to a pretty decent server that the majority will like.
This reply is based on the information i got from other people. If i mentioned stuff that didn't happen, then you have my apologies.
