Updating Issues-- Legals Have Possibly Thrown Bukkit Into a Bucket

I'm trying as hard as I can to get the server updated to version 1.8-- but Bukkit is in some trouble right now.  1.8 will still be coming out, according to Dinnerbone.. but getting everything sorted out will take some time. It's super confusing, but here's what I got:

"Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and the Bukkit project has run its course, leaving me to make one final - incredibly difficult - decision to shut down the project I’ve poured 3 and a half years of my life into which means so much to me. "
-EvilSeph

"Warren over at bukkit seems to have forgotten that the project was bought by Mojang over two years ago, and isn't his to discontinue."
 -Jeb_

 "One of the ex-developer[s], Wesley Wolfe, is attempting to bring bukkit, mojang and spigot down, by taking them to court, and appealing for a DMCA"

Taking a Little Off Thing

Think of it as a potty break.
Actually, don't. But do.

I've got a few things to take care of, so the next few days I won't be on the server. Lottery will still be run, and rules upheld (trust me here.), so don't goof off. (I'm running on 0 hours of sleep, honestly just bear with me here) Library will be closed and Publishing services halted until I return to the server. Don't fight, and be nice. I'm still accessible-- just contact me. If it's urgent, talk to ThatOneNob, ZeroHeZitation or Ember_Fox for quick contact info. I'll be here. I'll talk to you. It doesn't even have to be server related.
Daily lotteries will be drawn and reset around 9 PM daily during this period. Don't be late! If you happen to have any issues or problems, ask one of the senior members of the server (I'd say Ember_Fox or Byty789).
Please don't mess up. You've got a few days. It can't be too hard.
Be seeing you!
~tron95.

P.S. Sorry for the horrible grammar, sentence structure, and off terms-- I'm slightly loopy due to a night of literally no sleep. xo peace out

Server's Back Up, Lottery and Discussion

(Note: This update requires feedback.)
So (as of 6:06 PM last night) the server's finally back up!! Since the server died on the day of the 4th of July party, do you think we should still have one? (Tell us in the comments, or side chat thing!)
Lottery's finally updated.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TIRED I'LL FINISH THIS POST LATER BYEE
