Server Back Up
Howdy,
The server was down for a few hours today, but I just brought it back up. It looks like the nightly restart caused this. The server couldn't bind to the Minecraft port, so I believe the old process didn't cleanly exit before the new one started. This shouldn't have happened, but I believe this is due one of the plugins hanging up and stopping the clean shutdown.
I'll have to take a look at what's going on during the reboot to see what exactly happened. I may reboot the server a few times tonight in order to test. I can't do this on a test server, as I can't duplicate the environment exactly otherwise.

Eh, these things happen. It’s all part of maintenance.
Still, glad to know you’re taking a lot of time and effort into making this server as awesome as possible, Pete. Thanks. ^_^

Hi, I can’t access your server…… it keeps coming back with a timeout message…… I’ve tried over a couple of days now…… any ideas?

It could be one of four reasons: Right now, the server is on MC Version 1.5_02, not the current version. Read the latest post for details. The second reason is that you could not connect to http://www.minecraft.net at the time, giving the timeout. The third is that you or someone else at your IP address was banned from the server (which is not as likely).
The fourth (the most likely) is that you are just trying to get free ad time referring us to your website. If that’s the case, it’s not working at all. You picked a rather old post to do it on.
