Oh and to further add onto the "mod bloat" accusation.

90% of the servers mods were added At the request of the player base.

I Didn't demand anything personally, or attack you or your person in anyway. Everything I said is true, and your reply mostly agrees with what I said. I just feel it should be made more abundantly clear so as people know exactly what they are getting into. Evidently, from the current state of the server, most of the player base did not understand this and hence why they have left.

The performance metric there is just a straight lie. I have played on the server a fair amount, and have interacted with the entire community. Three of my friends that all have 32+ gigs of ram all have the same freezing issue, at the same time. Blaming a servers performance on a clients ram is technical illiteracy.

I'm not going to argue on a public forum when your response is to whinge about it in discord looking for validation, and attempt to gleam any information you possibly can about who I am from my profile. I know the kind of person you are and that is why I set it to private, and you proved me correct.

I don't think anything I've said here is said with malice, its just information for potential players so they can truly understand what kind of server they are joining. From the reactions of the players, this was not made clear enough in the post.

Edit:) You also make the entire community look bad when you interact poorly in other communities, and barre the entire server from being able to be advertised in the main vintage discord. You do not only act this way in your own community, but everywhere.

Vaelgrim · September 25, 2025

First off, It was made incredibly and abundantly clear. It is not my job to spell it out for you time and time again.

Secondly, Now posting false information and attempting to discredit me and my server shows malice.

Thirdly, The fact you hide who you are also shows your sole intent is lurk and spy and use it to help better your case.

Fourth, 247 mentions of lag in an almost 3 month time span doesn't really compute to an overall basis.

I take everything you mention here as a temper tantrum because it's how it looks. You joined a server that had ENTIRELY clear rules and standards and yet you complain about it here and there. I'm a grown man, I say and do as I please regardless of who I am in front of or around. It is not my job to halt myself, pause, or rethink how I choose to act or what I choose to say just because people lack the ability to ignore something they choose to make a problem out of.

And "the great purge" I acommidated to the very request of the mods the community asked to remove. Including ones I personally had wished to keep.

In the image below you can see how the server performs even AFTER I downgraded it back to 30gb.

So again everything you say will be taken as a child throwing a fit over something he himself doesn't like instead of choosing to ignore it and move foward.

Vaelgrim · September 25, 2025

This was also posted in the servers advertisement and even within the discord itself.

If this isn't clear enough for you then I don't know what it.

Thee Medieval is not just a name it’s a philosophy. A digital stronghold forged by and for adult gamers who stand on the pillars of authenticity, resilience, and raw, unfiltered conversation. We don’t exist to follow trends or cater to emotional fragility. We exist to carve out a space where truth is valued more than comfort, and where strength of mind is the sharpest weapon you can wield.

We've said things that some might wrong, offensive, or immoral. We’ve joked. We’ve laughed. We’ve spoken our minds without a filter and without asking for permission. That’s who we are and we don’t apologize for it.

But let’s be clear our words have never come with the intent to harm. We don’t target, we don’t bully, and we don’t tear others down for sport. What we do is speak freely sometimes recklessly, sometimes bluntly, but always authentically.

If, at any point, that offends you or if it stirs up pain or discomfort that reaction is yours to own. That pain lives in your interpretation, not in our intent. If you choose to be hurt by words never aimed to harm, that’s not a burden we carry. That’s a burden you’ve chosen to bear.

We're not responsible for anyone's inability to separate jokes from attacks, banter from bullying, or blunt honesty from cruelty. In a world increasingly ruled by emotional fragility, Thee Medieval is a bastion of accountability, not victimhood.

We believe in freedom and that includes the freedom to be offended. But we don’t bend because someone else broke.

Freedom of Speech is Sacred – In our halls, your voice is your own. Speak boldly, think critically, and don’t be afraid to clash swords in debate. We believe the free exchange of ideas is the bedrock of growth — not censorship.

Mental Fortitude is a Must – This community doesn’t break under pressure, and it doesn’t bend for every passing mood. Thick skin isn’t optional — it’s part of the armor. Emotions are human, but here, we expect you to own yours, not offload them onto others.

We’re Not Here to Babysit – This isn’t a support group, a therapy session, or a sensitivity seminar. We don’t hand out tissues, we hand out truth. If you’re looking for validation over realism, there are other places for that.

Fun is the Mission, Realness is the Method – We game to escape, to compete, to conquer but above all, to have fun. That fun doesn't come from sugarcoating reality or walking on eggshells it comes from being around people who are genuine, strong-willed, and fully themselves.

What You’ll Find in Thee Medieval:
Laughter that’s loud, crude, and unapologetically real
Conversations that challenge you, not coddle you
A community where respect is earned, not assumed
An environment where gaming is about passion, not politics
Camaraderie forged in fire, not feelings

What You Won’t Find Here:

Censorship disguised as “safety”
Emotional micromanagement
Participation trophies
Thin-skinned entitlement
Fake personas and forced politeness

If you crave a space where you don’t have to pretend, where people speak their minds without fear, and where the only requirement is strength of character — welcome home.

This is Thee Medieval.
Not for everyone. And that’s exactly the point.

If there is a mass exodus from the server, with it currently averaging sub 5 people per day from ~15-20 when I joined they did not understand.
What false information have I posted?
I hid my profile for my own safety.
image.png.c88af8af1569024aedfd84ffbf519dc3.png (In response to you yourself posting the twitter profile of the mod that dealt with the advertisement thread)
247 specific instances of the word lag, not accounting for the word freeze, frozen, froze, etc since its hard to differentiate between people talking about the server freezing, and them freezing to death. I'm not trying to be disingenuous unlike you. The server has not been up for three months, it was started 7/23, two days over two months from today. that would equate to at least 4 instances of lag per day bad enough to be talked about.

You seem very confused as to why this post was originally made. You pay for your server, you run it however you personally see fit, I have no issue with that. I just think you need to articulate it a bit better, hence why I tried to do that.

On a completely separate note, you don't seem to believe in your own philosophy.

"But let’s be clear our words have never come with the intent to harm. We don’t target, we don’t bully, and we don’t tear others down for sport."
You called a person filth, and a unjust fuck wit hump monkey.
Keep comparing someone you don't agree with to a child throwing a temper tantrum.
Openly post peoples information in general chat to ridicule them.

Vaelgrim · September 25, 2025

"What false information have I posted?"

Posting photos without showing everything that was said in an attempt to make both me and my server look bad.

You hid your profile because you're avoiding direct confrontation over a post you created in an attempt to falsely discredit my server.

For the record, I meant to say 2 months. Not 3. But further to the point. A large abundance of people who join my server have made it clear they run on low end pcs or even laptops. Therefor it is not my servers fault nor my own that people experience lag. If I could properly upload images here I'd show you actual load on the server but the max total size of the files must be only 10.32kb which is ridiculous.

Now I'm not even remotely confused. You came here obviously to discredit my server. Whilst completely ignoring it's extremely clear standards and guidelines.

Keep comparing someone you don't agree with to a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Let's be clear on this. I refer to anyone who actively tries to discredit my server without understanding it's obvious standards and guidelines a child. I refer to anyone who hides within my server in an attempt to (what I presume) gather information to assist in furthering your points.

"But let’s be clear our words have never come with the intent to harm. We don’t target, we don’t bully, and we don’t tear others down for sport."

Correct. We don't do any of that FOR SPORT.

I however do openly do that to anyone who has deserved it and brought it upon themselves.

For reasons such as

Bias

Unjust actions

False discrediting

Actions made to harm my server or it's reputation

Insults made against my servers members.

Etc etc.

I will proudly and happily target/bully/tear down others should they deserve it and have it coming.

Now again I state once more. What my server is and what it's guidelines are, and what it's standards are have ALWAYS been perfectly clear.

Which can be proven by looking both within the server and within the servers advertisment on the main VS discord.

You don't like what is said or done by me or some others within my server and that's entirely fine. But understand the servers history and what we stand for before trying to discredit it. As what you're doing isn't "Warning" people about what they can find here. It's perfectly clear what people can find within my server and what to expect. As it I repeat myself again has been made ENTIRELY clear.

None of these are falsities. I did not edit or warp that screenshot. A correction you made minutes after you made after the original comment just shows you attempting to keep face.
Not sure how me protecting my identity from someone is a falsity.
The performance of the CLIENT does not effect the performance of the SERVER. This is basic stuff. I'm not sure what you mean by files? Do you mean the mods? Player data? The world?

Again, nothing I have posted is false, and you proved it by only providing two things you think could even be false, with neither of them being false. You DID say those things. That is a fact. That is not false. Unless you have evidence of you NOT stating those things, they are not false.
Me, hiding my profile, has absolutely nothing to do with spreading false information. This is an attempted straw man, and a very poor one at that. You are attempting to make me look like I have something to hide when I am just trying to protect myself from your known volatile community.

If you believe the things I have posted paint you and your community in a bad light, does that not mean you believe the actions you and your community have done are wrong?

Your inability to accept any form of even slight criticism, even when it comes from people I can only assume are close to you such a Burt, just lends credence to you having some form of a narcissism. Even going as far as to straight up insult and straw man on a public forum for potential new players to see.

Lets talk over these too since I deserve to be insulted apparently.

Bias - I am obviously biased, but much morose now that you are attacking my person because I disagreed with you. I've tried to enjoy the server, and make several friends from the server, but I just couldn't stand the constant freezing and people not being where they actually were from de sync. The constant pinging from the discord, forcing me to mute it so I no longer can see if events and such are happening was also quite annoying. Its such a shame because there were genuinely cool people on there but you've pretty well turned away anyone I was friends with.

Unjust actions - I'm exercising my right to free speech no? I'm not spreading false information, I'm not insulting, All I'm doing at this point is defending my character as you seem to think I'm trying to murder your server.

False discrediting - Again, what you said is what you said. I did not change, edit, or warp what you said in any way, shape, or form. If what you said discredits your server you probably should not have said it.

Actions made to harm my server or it's reputation - I honestly think you have done this more then anyone else in the entire community. Evidence of this is the banning of the server from adverting in the main Vintage discord due to you and a few members of the communities behavior.

Insults made against my servers members. - I haven't insulted anyone that I'm aware of.

Do you deny being unwilling to change yourself so your community is able to grow and advertise?
Do you deny that your community (including yourself) pulled one of the mods that removed your advertising and proceeded to insult them?
Do you deny that the server has performance issues and mod bloat, to the point of where a discussion had to be created to remove mods?
Do you deny stating the things you have said in the screenshots I have provided?

These are the things I originally stated, and that you are arguing against.
I again reiterate. If people CLEARLY understood what they were getting themselves into, then why has the server population died?

Vaelgrim · September 26, 2025

You keep coming back to this idea that somehow I need to change who I am or how I run my server just to keep people happy. That’s not how this works. I don’t, and I won’t.

From day one Thee Medieval has been crystal clear about what it is a blunt, unfiltered, no hand-holding server. This has been written in the Discord as well as written in the ads and talked about openly in the server. Nobody got tricked. If people joined saw it wasn’t for them and then left then that’s just how it goes. This is a server built around blunt honesty complete free speech and a refusal to coddle people. Not every community is for everyone and mine was never meant to be.

You say you’re just “warning” people, but let’s be honest you clipped screenshots, ignored the rest of the context, and tried to spin it to make me and the server look bad. That’s not warning that’s discrediting.

On the lag and “mod bloat” thing I have already dropped a pile of mods people asked me to take out. The server still runs the way I set it up to run. If some people with strong PCs still see issues, that doesn’t automatically mean the whole thing is broken. It’s Minecraft-style modding there’s always tradeoffs. I put together the tools and the world people decide if they want to be a part of it or not.

And about me being “toxic” or “insulting”. I talk blunt. I don’t sugarcoat. That doesn’t mean I’m out hunting people to bully. If someone wants to get offended because I don’t soften my words that’s their choice. It’s not on me or the community.

So no, I’m not changing myself or the way I run things just because you don’t like it. Thee Medieval is what it says it is, and it’s not meant for everyone. That’s by design.

I will never change to fit the expectations of you or any other.

My house. My rules. My standards. My way. This is the last I'll say on the matter.

popernickel011 · September 26, 2025

You are straw manning again. I said I don't care about how you run your server. You have the full right to do whatever you want. If you are stating I am discrediting you, what have I done to paint you in a negative picture myself. You avoided all the questions I asked even. What screenshots did I clip? Do I need to zoom out and post the entire days log? You mention screenshots as in multiple but you originally only had issue with a single one? You also gave the rest of the context so why is it still an issue?

I am NOT asking you to change your server. I could honestly care less. It is however a shame that all my friends are now gone because they were not aware of what this truly was. I am attempting to remedy this but you are fighting me because you think the things you have personally said are discrediting yourself.

If you removed mods, and the server performance is fixed, I retract my statement on performance. If I remember correctly it was theorized it was the entity mods that were creating the issues, and if those were removed I could easily see the issues being resolved, so even though I don't necessarily know if it is fixed, I do now know you removed a lot of mods so I will take your word that it is running better and apologize.
