    Scheduled Events
    Note: The links below are in US Central time by default. Check the Events page for a full list of events. The timezone of that list is then displayed on the lower left of the page, and should be the same timezone you've set for use on the forums.

    We've unscheduled a lot of our previously scheduled events. This is due to our staff entering the school year and the times no longer being convenient for them. While these events are not yet re-scheduled to specific times, they may still occur. Hang around often for your chance at joining special events held by the staff!

    MineZ Spook-Tacular Scavenger Hunt
    A very special scavenger hunt is active this October! Please see either the Event Details or the original announcement for specific requirements. All prizes have been claimed, but don't let that stop you from finishing the hunt!

    The new lobby looks absolutely fantastic! (spooktastic?) It looks much better than the Halloween lobbies in years past. Can't wait to see what they do for Christmas! :wink:

    Could the leaderboard showing where you place be moved a tiny bit away from the top 20?

    Like this with or without the line?

    I got a bit confused seeing myself below 20 with no visual separation from the top 20

    My favourite thing with the Halloween lobby is every gamemode sign was changed... and then you have Ghostcraft...
