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 ).
