Due to issues of server performance going done in the last MC/CB updates, we're doing an overhaul on the plugins. Many will be removed, replaced, tweaked, or possibly not even touched.
Many less used plugins will be removed. If only a user, or two, uses a plugin, like JSONAPI for their iPhone connection to the server, will be removed. Many plugins will be left to the server either for security or large importance or use. Such examples would be Spout/SpoutCraft and Dynmap.
A couple nights ago I have removed 15 plugins. A few of which I can either replace with others, or just not used by much.
We would upgrade to more memory or slots, but with the limitations of HGS for current upgrades, are not feasible with current donation and referral income. Please note we pay $2 per slot, and when paying for 6 months, we get a 10% discount. Not counting donations and referral, that's $108 or $18 a month.
We last payed for 3 months, in the end, only I had to pay $12, not bad. I'm not aiming for not paying for the server at all, but such would be quite helpful. Not every person donates every month, but I spend a lot of time to make sure the plugins and the server stays up and running at all times. I don't expect to get paid, but expect not to spend much out of my own pocket. I would like to aim for not paying for more than 1/4 (about $25) of the server for the 6 months. If we can do this, not only will it help keep the server up, if we are donated more, upgrades to the server will be possible and could happen. If anything, the extra would be carried over to the next bill payment.
I have been looking around at other hosts, a couple has caught my attention, but either their servers are full, or how they calculate stuff is a bit screwy. many base their calculations on either Slots or Ram, then jack up the price on other needless features. We don't use Vent on our server, but it's "free". I'm tempted of asking for a discount it's removal. Some hosts charge more for plugins, let alone if you use CB. I even saw a host that would limit the server to 100GB of data network use.
I like the whole backup every day, some server backup only once a week ( a lot can happen in just a day ). Some servers only allow one port, the MC port. No Dynmap, no plugins that allows seeing other details, like MilkAdmin or Chest Shop. Even some servers only limit you to harddrive space. This I can truely understand. Large worlds take up space. Our main world, Earth, I think is taking up 200MB, I think, I'd have to double check.
With all the interesting complications, I'd rather just host the server myself. But I live in the dorms where the internet fluctuates far too much, let alone we've had a few internet and power outages. Once I move out, I'm limited to where I live for internet. Cities sound great, taxes and rent not so much. Smaller towns are good enough for me, but internet is either expensive or not high priority to the ISP. Too much to gamble along for a decent yet reliable server.
After I post this, I will begin going through the plugins list, putting notes next to plugins either being removed, or kept for certain events. The point I'm looking at is no more than 50 plugins, top.
Server Hosts Suggestions Are Welcomed. Currently interested in Envious Host if we do move from HGS.

Updates as I can keep up and being creative in their use...
As you see in the picture, you can now place logs in different locations. That is related to the a spout plugin. Normal users (non-spoutcraft) will see stone. The direction of logs are like placing pistons. Picky as heck.
Second change is placment of "step" blocks. You can place one down, then one on top, now you can have one on top without the one on the bottom. Normal users will see glass. (Slight lighting issue currently.)
I'm still working on mixed slabs, but there seems to be a conflict with dynmap in that plugin.

Lastly, buying "animal" eggs can be found at spawn. No monsters. Squid, chicken, sheep, cow, pig, and wolves can be bought. Click the ground to spawn them. The eggs don't act like normal chicken eggs.

MC 1.1 CB RB
We are now using MC 1.1 and a dev build of Spout. It is suggested you use the SpoutCraft build 1081.
Please report any issues here or on the FB group. So far no known issues. I will wait a day or two before assuming everything is running cleanly.
Note: New SpoutCraft builds has new video settings, some are reset to default. Check Them BEFORE Complaining Of Lagg!

Expanding and Advancing
Though we're still on MC 1.0.1 and not the new MC 1.1, I've been working on updated, tweaking, and fine-tuning the security.
As mentioned before, SkyLands will be available on our server when we are able to update to MC 1.1 with Recommended builds of both CraftBukkit and Spout.
As another tease for the players that donate, expect something big on the 1 year anniversary of our server. Can you guess when that was and what's being added?
For Backup Use, We're Going To Start Using DropBox. Help Us Expand It's Space. Get it and have 2GB free Storage For Yourself! http://db.tt/lxC4K7F6

Sledge Hammer Anyone?
I've been getting a bit, upset, lack for a nicer term as such, at a few plugins not listening to permissions. First I had issues with TelePlusPlus not allowing people to TP to people of a higher rank, now XWarp is letting people exceed their max warp creation limit (known for a while) but now people can warp between worlds.
I figured I'd just put in a secondary permissions plugin. It seems a lot of permission plugins have been having issues and the authors of many have gone unheard. Even xwarp has been quiet.
For now, I'm letting the issues slide.
Votifier is up. What MC Server listings I can get it to work on works. If you vote for our server with your MC name exactly as it appears when you log into the MC client/site, you will get your reward.
If there is any other popular server listing I missed adding to the side bar to the right, let me know.
I would like to remind everyone that only donators can CREATE SPOUT ITEMS. This includes Chain for Chain-Mail armor and Stained Glass. Buying, selling, and trading of the items are allowed with no problems. This is in attempt to increase what little donations we get for the server. So far only the mods have helped donate, let alone I. If this does not increase donations, I will attempt one more idea. Then that's it. I will pay for what I can, then if the server goes down, then sorry. I'm a student in college. I'm trying to pay for what I need while trying to save up to move out of the dorms.
Lastly, and I swear I hear another person ask I'll kill them (in game), I can not host the server myself because of two reasons: I have only one good computer that I use a LOT. The internet where I am is known to randomly go slow and go out without notice. If I move out and get good internet service that is reliable during the first 6 months, then maybe.
But the only problem there is which am I saving money on? The $20 a month for the server, or the outrageous costs of having fast internet in the middle of no where in Oklahoma. Besides, I don't want to ruin someone's fun when I or my g/f are watching Netflix movies or downloading games off the internet. I play Xbox and have Steam as well.

Many ODD bugs since world revertion. All found has been fixed
So far a small list of odd bugs have come along since I reverted the worlds to a backup.
- Every login took you back to spawn. - Fixed. Any people logging in since before the revertion will appear there once more still.
- World Portals, exception of nether portals, were disabled. - Fixed
- Teleporting from one world to another without a portal. - Partly Fixed. /home and /tp fixed, /warp not yet. I've checked permissions and settings. Nothing is out of place. Asked for help from author and other players. No answers. Looking for alternative Warp plugins.
We now have '/pvp toggle' again. If you don't want to receive or send pvp damage, just enable/disable it via /pvp toggle.
If you want to dual, just enable it. Warning: There is cooldowns and warmups.
Added Votifier. Currently setting it up for users that vote for the server receive items in game.
Chainmail plugin is working. Waiting for an update to Spout-materials to allow recipes of spout items into vanilla items. Once done, we will remove chainmail plugin and have the feature go through Spout-materials.
Fixed textures for items and blocks. You burgers will now look like burgers, not flint anymore.

New MineCraft Update, DON'T UPDATE CLIENT!
As I stated in the the MCDen Twitter, there is an MC update. DO NOT UPDATE your client until the server can update. The delay for us is due to CraftBukkit and Spout/SpoutCraft.
I will update this post as soon as the server is updated.
I'm keeping an eye on CraftBukkit via their twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/CraftBukkit
Once Craftbukkit is updated to a recommended build, Spout will follow suit shortly after.

We are writing to inform you that there was absolutely NO breach in our "extensive" security measures that could allow your personal information and all the API keys to be leaked, because of this we DO NOT suggest you change yourmcbans.com password. This breach DID NOT affect anyone. If your Minecraft password is the same as any password you use for MCBans you should not give a fuck. Our server is protected by an expired version of Norton Antivirus from 2007 and thus is absolutely hacker-proof.
For further support go to support.mcbans.com and open a ticket or contact us on IRC at irc://irc.esper.net:55s5 on #mcbans or #yesyourinformationwascompromised. You may verify that your information WAS NOT COMPROMISED by searching for it in our uncompromised database which we have temporarily mirrored publicly for verification purposes:
http://ddoscom.in/d0ng$.sql
As you should see, your information is still in our uncompromised database and thus has not been stolen.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and use of mcbans.com
and we apologize for any inconvenience this has not caused. Rest assured that if there ever were a breach of our systems, the kind Nigerian prince who funds our operation would be more than willing to offer you 7 figure restitution if you can just help him out a bit. Hell, he's probably about to make you this offer just because he loves you.
I hope you all want Viagra because our associates have plenty to sell.
Kind Regards,
The MCBans Badministration Totalitarian Regime and Führer Firestar
Remember:
- Firestar likes cocks.
- Denial is the best security measure ever and lying through your teeth is the truest display of integrity.
- Also, we have never ever been hacked, if someone claims otherwise they are bullshitting you.
- And to re-iterate once more, Firestar likes cocks.

Why Use Spout for Security?
I'll get the whole chat log (minus the other server log details) later. But a quick screenshot of a recent issue.
He followed the procedure to join and have membership by agreeing to the rules and getting spout.
Then he kept getting disconnected with SpoutCraft. He'd get on his Vanilla MC then have issues getting Membership again. We kept telling him he has to use SpoutCraft. After about 30-45 mins, the chat in the image happened. He is now banned and reported to MCBans.
His X-Ray mod or such was causing connection issues with Spout.

Alot of changes in the last few days
Many changes has come along in the last few days after our spike in new people joining the server. Some staying, some unsure, others banned for disobeying rules.
Rules has been updated to help with either better understanding or fixing exploits. Anti-cheat and detections have been added. Death Chests updated as well.
We are now enforcing the use of SpoutCraft for security reasons.
If you were once a Member or higher on the server, and you log in without SpoutCraft, you will have guest permissions on the spot. You will regain your previous status by logging in with SpoutCraft.
There is NO exceptions, No excuses. Even if you say it doesn't work on your computer or some of your favorite plugins don't work, we don't care. We are tired of cheats, hacks, exploits, etc. that we have to do this. We have even re-added MCBans.
If SpoutCraft laggs on your computer. The reasons could be as followed:
- Video settings set too high. SpoutCraft allows for finer tweaking of settings. I suggest using the optimize button.
- Your computer either has too much running on it or the hardware is getting old. I am currently running 58 processes on my Windows 7 64bit computer. Hardware specs found on my xfire profile linked to the right.
