Destruction Day - When?
January 08, 2013
Let's get Destruction Day on the calendar! I chose my ideal dates and no-go dates at a Meetifyr page I created
here. Add your name and preferred dates (no login required!) and Meetifyr will automatically choose the best date for the group.
Minecraft v1.4.6
December 20, 2012
I've upgraded the server to v1.4.6, which includes a "Christmas Surprise" and fireworks(wtf?) according to Mojang. I'm not sure if v1.4.4 client will work with v1.4.6 server, so just update your client when you're prompted.
Destruction Day!
December 17, 2012
Have you evere felt like taking a grip of TNT and igniting it inside ShiftBox64's house? Killing MontyBoi's massive horde of domesticated animals? Bashing Its_n8_son with a sword because he's such a dink?
Well, now you can. I'm proposing a 24 hour window of pure chaos, destruction and pillaging after which the previous day's server backup will be restored. So don't build anything you don't want blown up, because the next day, it will be gone!
Friday and Saturday nights seem to be the busiest, so I'm proposing this event happens starting at 5am on Friday, December 21, ending at 5am on Saturday, December 22. This might not work due to people's holiday schedules, so please comment if you'd prefer a different date, or if this date works for you.
It might be dumb, it might be fun; let's give it a shot.
Downtime
December 19, 2012
Last night I plugged in a USB game controller and it must have caused a short because the system went down instantly. I had to replace the power supply to get it back up again. Joe & Dave-- sorry for wrecking your adventures last night. I got it back up at 9am this morning.
New Avatar Icons
December 12, 2012
The avatar icons on the site now reflect your current Minecraft skin in real time. Relic & MontyBoi, for some reason your skins are not available through the API I am using. How have you changed skins in the past? Would you please try uploading your skins via minecraft.net? (Log in, then go to "Profile" and upload the .png file for your skin) I'm hoping that will fix the broken images.
Slow Page Loads? Not Anymore.
December 04, 2012
Many of you have noticed that the Spangoria website response time has been quite slow since its inception. I got to the botom of the problem, and now pages load in 3-4 seconds as opposed to 30-60 seconds.
