MindCrack

MindCrack is a network of YouTubers and a Minecraft server.
==History==
MindCrack was founded by Guude in 2010 as the branding for his Minecraft videos, and in December it expanded to a multiplayer server with some of his friends from real life and his World of Warcraft guild. It then began growing to add people he met online and fans that won contests, and started becoming incredibly successful. Guude had a vision that every member of the server would make YouTube videos and began inviting other content producers, Kurt was invited in January 2012. The server rapidly grew, and the idea of MindCrack spawned the MindCrack Ultra Hardcore series, creating the Ultra Hardcore gamemode that is ubiquitous in Minecraft circles. Eventually MindCrack outgrew the server and had to create a stronger group that was not linked just by Minecraft and were all linked by a shared network. Because of this membership fell from a peak of 30 to the 24 it is now, but MindCrack solidified itself as a group of collaborators and friends. 
Three Mindcrack Marathons raising money for charitable causes have been held, and members attend many conventions and have their own personal projects, Kurt's long running Far Lands or Bust series being an example.
