The server really needs something new, no one comes on anymore and it's just feels abandoned. Here's a poll for you.

Answers will be acted up in 2 days (48 hours from this post).
I think in a couple of weeks but that's not an option so... I'll do 1.8
Since the most popular so far is 'now' that'll probably be it. But if so can you at least wait until wednesday when I get back from holiday? I like being on at the beginning so I know all the plug-ins and where everything is etc.

We're going to build a 1:4 scale replica of the Pyramid at Gisa.
36m high and 56m long and wide - going to need a lot of sandstone. I also need helpers to help dig out a large area for the pyramid.
I think I should help as it was my idea, where is it?

Also, we should find a snow biome place and build a giant igloo

Since the poll is mainly saying 'now' maybe we should leave the pyramid until the new world? We have done a lot on this world and it'll take a while to get to this stage from scratch. But oh well, the server is for fun, not for getting as much stuff and having the best buildings as a possible (though that's cool too).

As the server is getting a new world, may I request that I host the old world if people want to access it? They would need to be whitelisted by me or meew0 however. Thanks, SSSS/wulfmaster

Just made a small cacti farm at the side of MA. A full harvest (and replant) currently gives you 2 stacks of cacti (128).

A new world AGAIN? seriously?
Anyways, I've been on vacation since Monday, and will be coming back on Monday. I should be able to get back online on Tuesday. WHYYYYY? I finally became somewhat rich! I liked the server the way it was. I liked towns, I liked that there wasn't much PvP (but still the possibility), I liked my base, and I think that we should buckle down and get a map that will LAST, at least until the adventure update. I for one won't play much on a server that gets reset every couple of weeks. It's a good server, but I like to have something that lasts.
Also, could someone point me to the post where it was decided to make a new map, and could we wait until Tuesday? :3 (I've been off the grid for a week)
EDIT: Oh, it's 1.8 when we get a new map. anyways, I strongly support it as long as its at the update. New maps without update=lame

Is there a whitelist? Cause I want to get on.

Here's how I think the server's going to work after we get a new world (whenever that may be):
1. I'll make 2 or 3 trusted, active members into ops.
2. I'll remove the whitelist and advertise the server elsewhere.
3. The ops will have to be familiar with Big Brother commands to combat griefing, which we're no doubt going to get if we remove the whitelist.
4. Either a chest protection plugin will be added to prevent stealing or a zoning plugin will be added to protect houses and buildings.
5. Most current plugins will stay, not sure about Mob Arena.
Discuss, argue, call me names, etc.

That sounds unhappy. Veeeerrryyyy unhappy.
Srsly. Most people are just on vacation, that's why the server has a low amount of people on it.
And if you remove the whitelist, and advertise it elsewhere? >_< I might quit.
(Eh, probably a empty threat. Depends)
I like the people who are on now, they're nice, and not too PVP intense. But, if you remove the whitelist, people who swear, grief, and PVP everyone will flood the server. I know admins will stop the people who do the first two things, but what about when admins aren't on? It will be horrible. Reckless carnage everywhere.
And chest protection plugins are, well, meh.
They kinda ruin the arrsomenessyness of the server, like sharing by saying,
"Here, grab a pick from that chest and lets go mining."
Or,
"I have some torches, you can grab 'em from my chest."
And seriously, I know that MobArena gets you too many items, so just nerf it like before. If you just explain it, people will accept it. Besides, everyone loves it.
As it is, I think that the server is great as it is, it hasn't really gotten boring, which is amazing, because usually things lose fun after the first month or less for me.
(Overview of my views)
1. Change map at 1.8.
2. Keep MA, nerf drops.
3. No chest protection.
4. KEEP THE WHITELIST.
5. Keep the server Scratch.
6. Zoning plugin for houses?! AIE! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
7. More ops? Nah. Qaz, you're totally enough. And if you can't be on as much during the school year, make sure that you op someone completely trustworthy. Someone that you know that would not, even if they lost diamonds, even if they're the only ones on, won't use /back.
And make sure that they can get on the times you can't.
Woo! This is like, my longest post ever. (Don't you dare TL;DR)

So you removed all the town stuff? Aw, I liked that. Anyway I agree with Dia. Lots of people are away on holiday and can't get internet connection.

Once I've finished planting all the cacti a harvest and replant will get you 45 herbalism skill and 18 stacks of cacti.

Someone's stolen a bunch of gold and iron from my chest outside the arena. I looked in other chests nearby (to see if anything else was gone) and found a few others had stuff taken. Qaz's (assuming qaz has the double chest) has had stuff taken I think.s

My cacti farm outside the Mob Arena now has about 1,200 cacti!

It has come to my attention that the piston duplication glitch still works in the version of bukkit we're using, and SOME OF YOU may have been exploiting it. Therefore, pistons will be disabled until the glitch is fixed.
EDIT: Piston Dupe Glitch seems to be fixed as of Bukkit b1000.

We are currently rolling the latest version of Bukkit out to all our Minecraft servers (Bukkit #1000).
Simply restart your server to pick up the update.
Update: We are aware of issues with the update causing servers to crash. Please be patient, we are working on having all servers running again very soon.
The server will be down for an undefined amount of time because of this.
EDIT: Server's back up. Our uptime percentage fell to 99.92% though.
