Today, the newest version of hMod was put onto the server (134) and so far it seems to be working perfectly. Although, please bear in mind this is not an "official" version of hMod, so there may be other problems some time down the line.
Although, as a result, we have been able to set up the server to a state similar to what it was before the last major update. What has changed you asked?
Well, moderating powers that had more purpose as "cheats" than as actual tools have been removed or limited, so we will not be seeing anymore adminium structures popping up anymore, aswell as this, teleporting and warping has been disabled (as it made the game too easy and was the cause of several unfortunate - but hillarious - deaths).
Another good side to this new version of hMod, is that it appears to have reduced the chunk errors everyone has been seeing.
Also, one of the mods that we decided keep (craftbook) appears to not be functioning correctly, although I doubt anyone will notice the difference there. Sadly though, due to this version of hMod being unofficial, it is unlikely that alot of mods will work, so those will have to wait for a while.

Little update about the new website.
Currently got it hosted but still being made, got about half the pages done.
Currently working on a monthly newsletter which you can subscribe to which will contain all the latest news, steam deals and competitions if I can get some sponsors.
Also if I can find the right code for it I'm gonna put a membership up, free and premium.
Stay tuned for more updates.

Notch is currently working on moving the servers to the Amazon cloud so during this time you may be unable to connect.
But from what we have seen it seems it's almost done as login now takes far less attempts to get in. (Average 2 attempts compared to 10).
If your still having problems signing in then until Notch finishes the transfer there isn't much we can do.
Also for those who do get on, we do realise that a lot of you are seeing more frequent chunk errors.
We do not know what is the cause yet, although there are two possibilities, it is either the temp fix Notch has done or the server movement is causing the problem, either way we will know more in the coming days.
On another note, those who hate typing my use or new MineCraft specific Mumble server to talk over.
Enjoy.

For those who use our MC server you may notice sudden lag or the inability to log in to our server.
This is nothing to do with our server, the cause is MC.net is being flaky, we do not know as of yet why this is happening but if you do manage to log into our server we suggest that you stay logged in even if your not currently playing.
In other news, yesterday we once again reset the map and today I decided to put a vote out towards the use of hMod or Bukkit on our server, so far there has been 2 votes against putting it back on. Now if we decide to not put it back on and Multiplay allow us not to use it then it's going.
If we cannot then we will disable all / commands.
