As has been stated many times before, it is not our fault that the server is having bugs. Many different servers are, and it is not our fault.
We do not develop the plugins used on the server, nor do we develop Bukkit, nor can we mess with the coding to try to fix it ourselves, nor are we allowed to either unless we wanted a lawsuit on our hands for tampering with something that we have no legal right to.
Many people are DDOSing things on Minecraft, the skindex, Bukkit, and several other things are hit daily so that they can hardly stay up let alone update. If you want to complain to someone, then find these DDOSers and complain to them, because they are a major part of the problem of plugins not being able to update.
Secondly, if we had not updated you must realize that there are many people who would not want to be on an un-updated server for as long as this one has been in 1.3 dealing with the various bugs. People were complaining within a few days of 1.3 release for us to update even if it wasn't possible, holding off further would have been completely foolish. We could not know what would happen, nor would we go back even now as we would be behind many other servers that updated which people were flocking to.
You're missing the fact that Fatnoob and the other admins are trying hard every single day to work on what little has been updated daily, so that they can fix all the bugs. Every time a major bug comes on that could wreck the server us mods make a quick report to them so they can take the server down to fix the problem. If we didn't care about you all, if we weren't taking our time to look out for you all, then we wouldn't fix it. We'd continue to let it happen and ruin the economy, player experiences, everything. But we don't.
It's hardly fair to blame every single thing on us, and you should realize just how little control we actually have over anything and everything updated. If we waited on every single plugin who knows how long it would actually take.
So please. Have some patience and kindness towards us, we are trying our best here along with the rest of the Minecraft community.
