Hey all you sleepy heads. It's 1:50 am here in the boring city of Indianapolis and to make it exciting...i've been reading logs for funny snippets for 3 hours! Alright, that's the end of my sob story. The real reason I'm writing this is because if there's one thing I've learned while reading these logs, is that reading logs is a pain in the butt but it's a great way to put yourself to sleep if you're having trouble sleeping. Got me thinking, I'm only scratching the surface of what owners do all the time so next time you see an owner online, (don't worry about surf, he'll be afk anyways) thank them.

Over the next days/weeks, can't really know, I will be trying my best to post some logs from way back when this server started (December/January) so all you old timers can reminisce on your days of youth and the rest of you can see the incredible immaturity this server has managed to maintain :D! Hope you enjoy them and if not, just act like you do.

Its the 4th of July and that means we American players go party all day, hang out with family and friends, eat to many hamburgers, and shoot bottle rockets at each other. and maybe if we have a second,  stop to remember that on this day in 1776, 13 people signed a official document that said to great Britain "F*** you guys. We're done!" at this point in history one group of people only broke away from another more powerful nation when the more powerful nation collapsed.  so the rep's of the colones knew that this having any chance of working were slim ant that by signing, there lives where forfeit should thy lose.

So on this day we celebrate not just the fun of explosive, but people having balls . because if thy didn't the world would look completely different today. that was over 200 years ago and its been one hell of a ride.

So its independence day! Get wasted and blow crap up!

UPDATE FROM SURF! Here's my ghetto video of the event!

EDIT: Surf here, when I made kermit an author on the website I told him "Minecraft Pics Only."  When he posted these, rather than pull them, I thought "let's make them minecraft related instead."  I think this is a happy compromise :D

Server is upgraded to version 1.7.2 with bukkit installed! Grab your shears and pistons, and lets get building! Ian~ Here's the Official 1.7 Changelist and here's the Minepedia version.  

ANOTHER UPDATE FROM SURF: Holy Moley We're Back Up!

UPDATE FROM SURF: Yes it's down, dunno why, looking into it :D

I know that, if you have a question, it is best to ask an admin or owner who will probably know. I know that it is not one individual who is asking multiple questions that is causing the problem but the combination of multiple individuals asking one question. And I know it's not the same question every time, but there is one question that I don't think we need to ask over and over again:

Why is the server down and why is it giving me a message saying "(insert random message here)"?

There can be multiple possibilities but, please, before you ask the question, consider this.

1. If you haven't been able to access the server for 1-2 minutes, there could be a plethora of reasons that have nothing to do with the server actually being down.

2. If you got banned, you'll see message saying you were banned. If you got kicked then get the fuck back on the server and asked the people who are on rather then whining about it to an admin who isn't even on minecraft

3. Even if the server IS down, even if you can't figure out why you specifically can't get on, couldn't you at least spend a few minutes outside, getting some fresh air, maybe some exercise. I'm not saying that you're fat but maybe you're just spending so much time on this game that your brain is not processing the irritating question you are about to ask one of the ops (I'm serious, this happens to everyone)

Please, if you are someone reading this who is or was about to ask this kind of question, please take it into account. If you are an admin or owner reading this, the next time someone asks you this exact kind of question, please send them this link (https://teh3l3m3nts.com/?p=1107) and tell them to read the article posted.

Thanks
