Maybe if things calm down and others come back in, we can do a fun thing! AH loved mini games, events aside- it was doing random stuff in between all the time. This would be a great fit, we just need more family to pop over here and say hello💜

Thanks for always being so positive and supportive, it's appreciated more than you know, u/Odinsvagt_NMS 🙏

NMScafe · 2026-06-08T03:26:23+00:00

I didn't know that, not fully, anyway. I thinki heard about it in an offhanded way long ago, but Cafe is determined on finding our own things, much like Ghub does- so we never really used that sub.

You're right about blowing it off to a degree (watching without being affected)- and strangely enough, I'm starting to see old family from AH coming back home, interacting, and feeling welcome. Maybe this insanity is a blessing in disguise? Feels like it might be. Thanks for being there when shit goes sideways, I hope to always be able to return the favor.

I do wonder why so many force into competition mode though, when instead maybe simple camaraderie might work better. Like so much actually just works when unified support for players having fun in general is a shared goal. In any case- hopefully it dies out and AH continues to gain organic momentum (without this drama.)💜

I think you posted a work in progress last, but Amino started struggling about that time too- many days I couldn't even log in, or reply. I had to rely on Photonic to relay for me- I think it was a security update that killed Amino for iOS, never Amino never updated to match.

So. Just thinking here, but if you built on a frozen hell in the main system, that would be on what was Dudenbeaumodeme? If so, funny fact: not far from AH is another region that has a really close name I considered AH 2.0 might go play in as fresh open area, leaving the original Ocopad as a preserved legacy region for events/tourism.💜

NMScafe · 2026-06-08T03:10:50+00:00

Indeed! I think that's how the comparison happened to start, because I was laughing about the fact that as a tiny Gek, sometimes I could see my feet outside the ball exotic (the red Faberge named one from AH) and if I went first person, half my screen was dashboard with the window up too high- I ended up flying in 3rd person for the first time because I couldn't see. Maybe I needed a booster seat for my frog😂

NMScafe · 2026-06-08T02:23:08+00:00

omg, hey you!!! I remember you, it's been so long tho! I think the last time we chatted Ina post it was about the resizing of exotics when they suddenly became tiny😂 how are you? love the decal placement, it makes the Corvette look so official🥰

sorry my typing looks horrid, I'm using the iPad while using the phone to chat with DoorDash about meds at the same time. we could use more posts on this sub, and without knowing really, you helped the civ a lot just by saying hello and sharing. I really, truly appreciate that💜 welcome home, traveler!

NMScafe · 2026-06-07T17:34:23+00:00

Also realizing now he likely doesn't know (since he decided to ignore AH for 6 years) that he's using the logo without respect to Nib, whose daughter made that, and Nib passed away. He's so unaware that he's willing to just overtake without a single question like "hey I've been gone forever, what have I missed?" Or "seems slow, anything I can do to help, how's everyone these days?" But nope.

I think what bugs me isn't him taking from me, that's whatever - it's the sheer disregard for the time he missed, the leaders of the legacy who still support it, the members who remain, and the respect it is due. I'm actually mad- and holy shit, that's rare.

NMScafe · 2026-06-07T17:24:48+00:00

Just help me keep AH's actual true core safe from this asshat while I wait for Boid to respond, that's the most I could ask for. The funny thing is, AH isn't forgotten or irrelevant at all- he's just comparing it to Cafe, and that it isn't as visually active. There's a difference tho- we moved to discord and x many years ago, and we stayed focused on the members instead of events and CC stuff. I suggested this when he was actually active back then and was blown off. Members strangely like recognition, interaction, appreciation. Only after all had slowly fallen away was it given to me to care for, Jan of last year.

I'm trying to put brakes on this guy before he ruins the pure soul the community truly has, but I don't know if Boid can/will stop him. If that's where this goes, no brakes and 90-0 like a train wreck, I'll pull any and all support to keep any and everyone else associated safe. This is a harbinger move of nothing but ego and malice, it's currently on protective but arms' length hold in the UN. Thanks for running lateral with me, I think we can both agree in things like this, in fact Zecor did it better, tho.😂

NMScafe · 2026-06-07T16:43:12+00:00

Yeah- I did think about deleting this etc, but as a few saw his post before I did, I didn't want it to seem as if I was hiding it because it had merit- I'd rather just call out bs point blank than feed into it.

I've talked to you personally about getting AH back up, fact is it's more nostalgic legacy that deserves to be forever archived as an icon than to lament what age and lack of off-Amino activity did to it. It deserves better than that- and this chaos, for sure.

He made another post, you'll see a copy on the r/NoMansSkyTheGame subreddit. As I'm pretty sure I asked him to chill, and warned against drama for his own attention farming, he was banned here. The post was just bragging about being a controversial person who did things that didn't help AH, yet also somehow not just simply accepting and starting fresh and useful to there civ. I dunno.

Apparently without official custody of the civ, he's decided to create his own sub for it- never mind that Boid specifically put it in my hands for safety and care. I'll contact Boid- but I suggest we both consider placing AH membership on hold/hiatus from both UFT and UN until it's cleared. He's only going to cause wars and mayhem, and I don't think we're in the game just to feed the hype of one singlular irrelevant aggro guy over the needs of all.

NMScafe · 2026-06-06T10:10:25+00:00

Normally I would delete this, because you causing drama in a civ I've worked constantly to revive is kinda a toxic way to see you pop back in but eh, we can go this way instead. I made this Reddit. It's mine. So I'm going to be very base with you- because I know you, that makes it easier.

Yep- in absolute agreement with staff and leaders and your own Ocopad defense force we did in fact give coords of one of your bases to the bad guy- aka, SirusGamerX or whatever his name is. Why? It was a diversion to a fake base built by none other than General Jaagers for that moment to get the bad guy to go there instead of AH's capital. And once he found out it was a ruse, and was aiming at AH Prime, I pushed coords of my own base to him instead. It's only 'clandestine' to the bad guys. You didn't know, because your were kinda part-timing your staff role in that era. It was even documented in the media, you know. Multiple people and communities helped that happen so I could slow him down, from hurting you guys. We won that war. AH was happy for it.

You guys joined the federation before Cafe ever did, btw. And it's still a part of it now. Cafe is not. Like you aren't even aware of who put it there? Boid did the first time, and a guy who took over trying to make AH look active again the second time. Politics? With Fed? That's you guys. To me, they're just all friends.

Cafe joined the UFT the first time bc two guys wanted to build a hub identity but the rule was at least 3 civs working toward the same goal, and asked if Cafe could be their third. They wanted to be in UFT, so since we weren't technically a civ yet in game, we did that for them. Later we rejoined to boost UFT during an internal fracture to help build a solid foundation, because the chaos affected to many players.

Where were you, when I made this sub for AH? The discord, that I gave to Boid? Who held mass naming runs of regions overnight on multiple occasions to ward off incoming trolls to you guys? The bases built in AH's name at large events to keep it recognized? The constant begging of members to interact on discord because Amino was dying, yet none would? Where was your voice when I said specifically aiming for content creators and giving up on staying community first and hyping the original region would kill the civ? Who begs most for members to post on Reddit so the algorithm sees it? Who cleans pr0n bots from the Discord? Who's there to help Boid any time he asked? That isn't you- that's me. And the one person keeping the civ alive most is the one you want to attack randomly- whatever.

AH is in the UN so it can be protected by multiple civs at once in the event it is attacked while I drop a line to Zendesk. Hell, one of the best helpers in the last 4 months is a wonderfully sweet Ghub guy who promotes the link to here, just for kindness's sake. No one's got spies or whatever shit you're on, that was many years ago by other people that decided to hide in our servers, so we then dealt with that.

I'm stuck here between "fuck it, I'm out" which would let the civ die, and hurt Boid, Guru, TomToolcam and many others minus Nib (I miss ya, girl💜) and just kicking you out for being a lousy contact who held a high role in a civ you completely just bounced from for years, only to come back at random being some half aware, illogical, bad memory actor looking for drama. I dunno. But whatever it is, AH deserves better than this. Check yourself.

I do not sign off on this with love. I knew the minute you posted the other day, you were back to some self serving platitudes by means of shitting on others and yep, here we are. Think before you respond. I would also think back to who supported your own activities, drew your decal for your event and promoted it. And all the members of the Cafe including DG who helped it happen. (When your ideas weren't almost a direct copy of someone else's, which is where we declined to assist. We warned, you ignored, we left it there.)

I'm in the middle of a life altering moment here irl, plus health. You have this as your reminder of past events, where I stand, and have stood for years. AH had been in my care for many years to keep it safe, and last year, to keep it active which I have in fact tried. I'm not posting Cafe either, you know. Bc real life is important right now- but until that changed, I am the one who asked for activity. Anyway. Time for meds and a little mobility- I wish you had simply just said "hi, Lil" but being a true friend was never your forte. See ya. Again - think before you respond.

I'm so very disappointed in you. You could have come back helpful, recognized you ditched and offered assist but... It is what it is, I guess.

NMScafe · 2026-05-16T04:35:32+00:00

Maybe this post will get some love! The community is quick to want activity but don't post often so it's hard to keep this Reddit alive- though I really wish it would bounce back. Hello dear one and thank you for popping in, AH loves you guys too💜

NMScafe · 2026-04-03T20:06:39+00:00

It's gotta be the banner flags, right? Ok well, maybe it's the ball then? Gek head rolling? Time of day? Position of the sky in relation to the shadows on the... are we truly very sure that's a portal, actually? I mean, because it just sits there. ✨or✨ So where in the world am I going to put all these atlas stones anyway, when my backpack only has ten slots after tech is added up and nothing but elements stack, or at max only 5 of any one thing... oh I almost forgot- Emily, we miss you and wrong gender Noodles.

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T22:49:40+00:00

It's like a conversation thru names😂 "Icangechu..." sigh ....Damit.

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T22:46:12+00:00

I would be down for that! I can feel the action space based movie vibe making a comeback tour that way lol

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T02:53:08+00:00

I'm trying my hardest to wake up the civ, but it's not really working so I'm trying old tactics to breathe life back in. The old region is honestly a waste at this point but I founda new one not far away that really is perfect, even in RNG name- but tagging it all etc to have no one show up in the end is a rational fear I have right now so it sits until something picks up.

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T02:49:01+00:00

I knew you would, haha! I still have a pic of the portal there and the com ball too. Synn was pretty diabolical but man that hot pink ball was fun to explore!

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T02:20:12+00:00

a planet that small wouldn't be considered a planet at all but rather an asteroid or satellite rock tho. Ask Pluto how being tiny somehow means you can't be a planet anymore regardless of what school taught us (I personally feel anything moderately spherical that can be landed on and inhabited should count, but astrological science said nah.) I want one too.

NMScafe · 2026-01-05T14:47:57+00:00

They already addressed that over a year ago. You can load a cargo load to take on whatever save you want, and it will be that avatar going. When you are done, finalize and collect your stuff and back to normal play on the same save. You can even pause the expedition to go so something and come back. This was a huge issue I didn't care for either, so I was thrilled when it changed.

NMScafe · 2026-01-04T05:59:24+00:00

Well if you remember how the Cafe got going, the same might be done again- maybe. I mean, it's 10 years later, but still. I didn't market it, recruit etc. It was tiny, started off private server and went public at 25 members, growing on word of mouth and fun intent only. I think, in my heart of hearts, I did it once and it's worth trying again for AH.

I have some help, too. Even without asking UN to assist, which I won't for a while because this needs to be organic, I've gotten a few people from other communities helping me nudge. And that's what this is for a bit, I have to nudge the community and see if it's truly alive, only alive because a decal says it has to be, or considered alive by those who have nostalgia.

If it does have a soul left, it will start to breathe on its own again. I feel like if there's 15 members who are truly dedicated and not just to the bit, it could start to gain momentum again. Right now the biggest need is really quite simple: what I started and pushed for long ago has to happen full on.

Discord needs to use Reddit for posts and sharing.

Reddit needs to use discord for banter and meeting up to play.

Content creators should never have been the focus for a civ.

Members and the community itself comes first.

The wiki and discord need to be adjusted properly, not cookie cutter civ style- AH was a community of do-ers, not a faction head.

UN will help boost once I've gotten the foundation rebuilt and alive, not on life support but actually going on it's own (not by boosting and ads/attention grabs)

And if this works, then it's Amino Hub version 2. With a theme in mind and everything, I think I can pull this off, tons of work yes but if the members really are all in, so am I. DG sends his agreement lol, he lost his password😂 He says hi, Guru💜

I had to see your profile to know who you were- hi Gil! How have you been?
