I was looking for a good server (a small, 24/7, new one) and found SupraCraft. Tried it and love at first sight. Didn't talk much, and I went exploring.
Managed to find two dungeons. and I played so much with them underground. I eventually dug to the surface to see that someone built a village above me. :p I met the villagers and joined the village and played almost daily. After playing for a good time, getting veteran, meeting more people, the server was closed. Didn't know why, and I waited for about two weeks. I realized it was DOWN.
I went back to the thread by Year aka Nick on minecraft forum about SupraCraft and realized it was now 'BeardedCraft'. I joined again, and was greeted by other SupraCraft players. Then it closed. Then I went back to the thread awhile later to see it was open again. (BC 2) Joined, and played on it to where I am today.
