This is a real problem, and I'm ashamed to think that my country's Gov't tried this once, nay, twice, but I'm even more ashamed to find that they're, idiotically, trying it AGAIN! I can't believe what this nation has come to! D:< And even worse, our representatives are not even listening to those of us who contact them saying "NO!", simply regarding us all with a detached kind of amusement saying, "Oh, look at you saying no to something that's going to be passed anyways."! And the REAL rich part, whereas businesses like Google spoke out against the likes of SOPA and PIPA, guess what? They're BACKING CISPA!!!! D:< EVERYONE should pay attention to this, whether you live in the US or not. If this passes in the US, what do you think is going to stop the governments of other nations from trying the same/similar thing, eh? This is scary and really needs attention worldwide. Unfortunately, unlike SOPA and PIPA, which had little backing and a LOT of opposition, this bill has a frighteningly good chance of passing, as it has all kinds of backing, including backing from major tech companies like Google, as well as a fair few major defense contractors that have a LOT of money to wave around, and we all know that when it comes to politics, even in the US, money speaks WAY louder than the voice of the people.

Hey, if anyone of you out there on this amazing server is a former member of the LonelyMC community like myself, stop by, and say hi! And feel free to discuss/reminisce here.

RIP, and long live the memory, of LonelyMC

Anyone that owns/runs/admins/moderates a server, as well as anyone that has ever considered trying a claimed ForceOp hack in Minecraft should read this very interesting tweet, and the link in it, from the original creator of Bukkit himself, EvilSeph: https://twitter.com/#!/EvilSeph/status/180003180355141632

There is no such thing as an actual ForceOp exploit for Minecraft!!! This is definitely something to be careful of.

Is it possible that we will ever be able to use /powertool? I know it's unlikely, but it would be very useful to be able to powertool commands available to us, particularly in instances, for example, where one might be locking/unlocking a large number of chests. Or, for that matter, in any other case where a command would be repeatedly and tediously typed out, eg. when selling cobble while mining...typing "/sellall" over and over quickly becomes time-consuming. Again, I doubt the probability of us being allowed access to the /powertool command and, in fact, I don't even know if there's an individual, assignable perm in Essentials for "/powertool", but it's a thought.

¡Hola a todos! ¿Como estan? ¡Puedo hablar en Español! ¿Y tú? Hello, I'm Dragon Soul Song. You can also call me by DSS or Dragon and I'll know you're talking to me. Heck, if we're ever in the same room, "Hey you!" might even work! XD In addition, as you may have been able to tell from my intro, you can speak at me in Spanish if you wish, as I'm fairly decent at it after 3 years of it in high school and will probably be able to understand you. I'm fairly good with math, science and computers and also enjoy many artistic pursuits, namely Jazz improvisation, drawing and sketching, poetry, and miscellaneous forms of digital art to include photography, image manipulation, and the occasional bit of sprite work. I'm currently attending college as a Computer Science major...and...yeah...that's kinda my life at times. I'm a moderately experienced Minecrafter, having played since 1.6 beta, and having played in multiplayer since 1.6.6 and 1.7.3 beta. I have been/am admin on several servers, including my own...oh lord...my poor server...I've been so mean to it...it's my plugin testbed. XD Oh yeah! That reminds me! I'm a Bukkit plugin developer, by the way! Myself, or my art, or both can be found in several places around the interwebs, namely Gaia, YouTube, DeviantArt, Dragon Adopters, GPX+, MinecraftForum, Planet Minecraft, and others under the same guise/guises that I use here, so look around for me, and if you do happen to find me, be sure to say hi! Also, I'm kinda terrible at introducing myself, so if there's anything else you'd like to know about me, be sure to ask! I'm always friendly and willing to listen and respond.
