Hey everyone. The server kind of chugged along in my server rack for years and I didn't touch it. Carian and Cnc had it up with mcmyadmin for a while, then it had a hard drive failure, then it kind of powered off for a while and I didn't notice...bad on me.

BUT. Then something crazy happened. My kid, Lucas, turned 5, and I got super sick and was hospitalized and took 3 weeks off of work, and we just accidentally discovered Minecraft. Now he's obsessed, we're playing a single player game, then he'll probably join the big server. Because of this, we needed to make sure the server was revived, and I rebuilt it. New MORE POWERFUL hardware, new OS, using Spigot...just in general refreshed. I was able to revive most worlds, though it looks like we lost some time since the last backup I have due to the hard drive failure :(

Still, it's all back up. The worlds have been renamed based on the generation they existed (so, the oldest world is 1-world, then 2-world, then 3-world, etc). The current world has no number. The backups are re-posted here on the website in the sidebar, and this time backups go offsite so it should be more secure. We've rebuilt things with newer versions of plugins but there's still some tweaks to make. All user ranks were reset, so they need to be re-done as people join.

Once the kid and I beat the ender dragon, we'll be playing too. Until then I'll pop in and out (like when he's a punk and loses Minecraft for a few days :P ).

Yo, surf here. Potential brief downtime today...I'm having some work done on my house. Getting a new 70 amp sub-panel put in for the server room! Good news is vacuuming won't trip the breaker in the server closet anymore; bad news is they may have to shut the power down today for some time. I have a UPS which will keep it alive for 30-45 minutes, but it's possible we may go down for a bit.

BTW...I'm obsessed with Lego Marvel Super Heroes on the 360, you all need to play it.

Do you? Do you? DO YOU???

Well...I just put 4 more GB of RAM in the server, upping the amount the java process gets from 3400M -> 7000M.

That much.

I have updated the server to 1.6.2.

No ones been playing since 1.6 came out so now that we have been able to update, you can come back and play!

We look forward to seeing you.

-Also

Since Omo kept greifing my spawn message board I setup the first day of the new map, I'll post it here.
We need more spawn built. We are looking for cool buildings, no cobble or dirt buildings, and no personal houses.

We are looking for Shops, towers, public buildings, epic builds, cool stuff etc  --- No creative please - That includes Admins and Owners.
You may build within 3 blocks of an established build, any closer you should ask its builder or an Owner.
Walkways, roads, bushes, trees, gardens or landscaping is permit-able, as long as it doesn't interfere with the aesthetic look of any building
that you don't own. Spawn is considered a 1000 block radius. Tunnels and underground activity is OK as long as it doesn't interfere with
some other building/underground structure.

Any epic builds or super cool looking builds at spawn and you could earn a reward. Please contact Owner cnc, show me your build to collect if it meets my expectations - Admins not eligible.

-Lastly

I updated our graphic at the top, its now our more recent teh3l3m3nts sign with the evil hand.
The previous one was from our previous main world which is old world now.

Sup all, Surf here! I'll be brief. Monitoring status of bukkit dev builds, hopefully we'll upgrade to 1.6.2 soon, but not yet.

I was with family over the weekend, so I was off...I got back, and no one was on...so I took the opportunity to update some hardware. Take a look at the video below:
