Also It shouldnt affect anyone because by the time bill gets it i should have all of you that are whitelisted added as builders. There are still some details to work out but i will keep you updated.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Other side of the waterfall.
What's worse is I'd just fallen down that waterfall, looked back and was like OH SHIT.
Thankfully the guy was stuck but he stared at me.
Stone cold. It was unnerving.
I seem to recall getting frustrated with the character creator and having dudes that I'd made in honor of various friends and relatives die after like 6 hours worth of gameplay.
there is no being coy, they want to get into a relationship with you
a death relationship
I shall not want;
He lettith me build in green pastures.
He lettith me build on still waters;
He backs up the map.
He makes huge renders
for our sake.
Yea though I walk through the valley
of sunless unsupported sand,
I fear no creeper;
For he is with me;
His mods and admin, they help me.
Surely diamond and lapis lazuli shall flow
all the day and night cycles;
and I shall dwell in the kick ass obsidian death fortress I built,
forever.
I get bored with sims. I get to a point where they get married and have a baby them im like MEH and start again.

when we can write things in bookcases, this is going in the hymn book racks in my church.
I do remember liking it though
The Family Man sounds fun.
His name shall be Glenn Quagmire, and his occupation shall be "pilot".
First the status of the server and render operations: there seems to be a corrupt file in the world folder, which was likely causing the lag issues today. I'm working on finding it and removing it, so the render will go through. This may take time, and I may mess up and move the wrong file (I'm just moving them to my personal computer, so I'll move things back if stuff is messed up).
Secondly, as many of you are aware, the server population seems to have outgrown the VPS we've been running it on. I've already upgraded it, but more people keep playing! This leads me to think it's time we consider a dedicated server. There are two options here:
1. I use my old computer (like, a year old, I literally just upgraded to an i5-2500k in January, so my old Phenom II is just sitting around collecting dust). I don't have any doubts it could handle the server better than the VPS, but the issue is it would be sharing bandwidth with my other gaming. It'd be on a 20/2 connection, so that may not be an issue, but only testing would confirm.
2. We actually rent a dedicated server. This is expensive, and it would probably need to be a group effort through donations etc. On the plus side, if we get a good one most issues would disappear entirely, and the population could keep growing.
I'll let people discuss things in the thread or on the server, and I'm sure ultimak/nuka will let me know what the preferred course of action is (HINT HINT).
I liked the Sims 2 a whole lot.
I was kind of disappointed by 3, it felt to me like they back-tracked.
just make sure its east coast pls
Could you price out a rental server? I wouldn't mind chipping in for one. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of minecraft for such a low price as it is.
If you need some one-time donations to beef up your server, though, bill, you should speak up (after running it by the mods).
IMPORTANT: If you see stuff missing, let me know immediately. The sooner I know I moved the wrong file, the faster I can fix things.
Also, because people have asked, right now the VPS we're using is about $80/month. This is mostly because it's a Linode, which is one of the best VPS providers (also one of the most expensive).

Edit: as bill said its already unlimited. It seems that it more only has to do the people on at one time, and the all the chunks that are loaded by those people rather then the size of the map. You could have a big map with few people on it and the server wouldnt care because its all about the number of chunks those players have loaded, which i didnt think of before now.
we could do that. easily.
but you have to do a direct debit/standing order thingumy i think, to guarantee that much
OR
we could try and raise enough money to pay for it for 6 months in one go or something.
They're just filled to bursting with [strike]un[/strike]dying love
edit: I can chip in a few bucks if we do the rental server thing, but not too much. I'm hurting for cash right now.

Edit: to those that have posted in the thread saying you would donate i will get you down.
Also updated the OP with info, and included Nukas texture pack post because its way better then anything i could do.
I was getting horrible lag once the server started saving, warping from place to place, and taking a minute to open chests.
