We all love to play our minecraft when we should be doing other stuff...I dunno if I've ever heard of anything as serious as this one. Member BustaCapps was playing some minecraft...and shot this picture out the window...that's an effing tornado:

Evacuate? Hide? Meh, I have wolves to collect!

Hey everyone, looks like the hosting provider is having some issues. We can log into the admin panel, but the server version is back to 1.4, we can't update it to 1.5_02, and we can't get it to start. The error we're getting is that their host is under heavy load, meaning it's nothing wrong on our end.

We'll keep checking in every so often to see if we can't get it started, and you should do the same. Rest assured, I downloaded the latest backup, so EVERYTHING will still be there for you, your precious cubes are safe. For the time being, you'll just have to suffer through playing some Portal 2 :D

If it isn't already clear, 1.5 came out, and as with every update, we're vanilla for a while. Check out the feature list here. There's a bunch of cool features in 1.5, though a bunch of bugs too.

Bukkit is saying they're having some issues with compatibility, read about that here.

Finally, veterans, just know that because Noobs was the default group, noobspawn is now the default spawn. If you die, you'll be going to noobspawn. I think this is a good thing, seeing as we've had a FLOOD of new members and have less tools to control them in case they're griefers.

The dig is complete...here's a layer by layer snapshot of the map, from above. I like how it shows the double-helix-intertwined-cart system, which leads to the Y=6 Railroad.

As soon as he was here...WHOOOSH he was gone. Banned for griefing.
