1.4 is out! Read about it here. What does this mean for us? ALL COMMANDS AND PLUGINS ARE BROKEN. Here's the order of events:

1. Bukkit will need to be updated. Timeframe unknown, ask them, they assume hours or days
2. Updated bukkit will have to be installed...that's at the mercy of our server.
3. Each plugin will be tested and will likely be somewhat broken. As they're fixed, we'll activate them
4. Once plugins are active, we need to make sure our configs aren't broke.

So that's the deal, no need to keep asking, clearly most of the wait is on the end of the coders and we're at their mercy. As soon as something is available we'll get it goin.

Greetings patient pups!

We're working on a new structure of groups and command permissions. There will be 5 groups:

• Owners: The people with backed access
• Admins: In-game moderators
• Members: The peanut gallery
• Noobs: New members, limited permissions, the default group
• Retards: People on punishment who can't change the world in any way.

Each group has fewer permissions than the group above it. We're finalizing the permissions structure, and you can view what we're proposing here: Permissions Spreadsheet. Hopefully all this will get rolled out in the next day or 2.

We've been hard at work behind the scenes, trying to get this thing back up to play. Some brief notes:

1. We heard from the obsidian guys...about 6-7 times they said we'd have access within 20 minutes. Never happened. We hope to get that last backup out of there, but let's be honest...they're dead to us.
2. We have a 7 day trial of a new hosting provider, and are working on some setup stuff. We will have bukkit, but bukkit out of the box isn't what we need, it needs to be set up. We're working on getting a bukkit configuration together before unleashing the server to the masses.
3. We're also negotiating things to do about the old map restores, we'll poll everyone before doing anything.

Despite our recent issues with Obsidian Hosting, we had submitted a ticket to them almost a week ago to have bukkit activated in order to install some griefer protection. We wish to poll you all, the users, about which plugins you'd like to see installed.

There are 2 groups of plugins we're talking about: Essential server-management plugins which don't change the gameplay that much, and fun plugins like minecart mania that change the function of the game. We've split them into 2 separate polls.
