We resolved some issues:

• People in the "Members," "Admins," and "Owners" groups can now go into the nether at will. The command /world will bring you to the spawn point inside or outside the nether...depending on which you're currently in.
• For a while, only ops could place liquids. I think we have that ironed out.
• Permissions should be tied to op/non-op, and they were. I think I've fully untangled them, and permissions should now be FULLY working correctly. Let me know if there are any command issues left, I'll fix 'em.

Who here is a Star Wars fan? Wisonfam built an EPIC AT-AT walker, complete with interior rooms. Check it out:

New owner Gorghoppurr has been busy lighting up and completing an almost-natural cave he found. With the exception of some of the glass, he found a natural and HUGE dome shaped cave and lit it up, and lived in it for a while. Check it out:

What a week folks! Obsidian died, we moved to a new hosting company, we got bukkit installed and painstakingly configured its setup, got our most recent backup restored, and are off and running! Here's a list of stuff you need to know:

We've officially committed to the new domain name, www.teh3l3m3nts.com, for this website and the server address (you still need to add the port to the server address in minecraft, so mc.teh3l3m3nts.com:1489).

We've set up the permission structure based on groups, and you can see the official list of commands per-group in the spreadsheet linked to on the sidebar. To see what group you're in, type /list.

Our map got uploaded, but we lost like 3 days of work from the last backup I downloaded. At this point it's been a week since any of us have worked on it, so hopefully it isn't too much of a shock :(

We'll be better about making backups public, you can see the link to the backup AND it's age on the sidebar. They're hosted to my (surf) dropbox in the public folder, so I'm not too concerned about data-loss. They're like 900MB, but whatev.

With the new control of the permissions and such, we're finally gonna list the server and see if we can't get some new players in. Hopefully we'll meet some cool people and get some epic structures going.

That's pretty much it, get the word out for the new address, if you haven't e-mailed us with contact info hit us up at minecraftpisspants@gmail.com and let's get back to some mining!

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.
