There are two reasons.
1. I am moving the server to CraftBukkit (an in development server software mod called Bukkit, a successor to the highly popular hMod), and therefore I have to move everything such as groups, permissions, and plugins one at a time. Might take a few hours to a day or two.
2. Just this morning, my main ISP (Charter Communications) decided to flip out on me and cut off my service so that means I'm stuck going back to my old sucky Cricket modem. Besides, since the server relies on my router; then that means the server won't be up for a while anyway.
Despite said both circumstances, I'm working hard to get the server back up as soon as possible. Sorry for the delay, guys.
Status update:
Server is still down for the time being. The server will be back up around the 23th or so. Server will probably be vanilla software unless Bukkit is already ready.
The server is down currently (or is Inf3rnal still hosting it? Dunno.) but I will be able to host it again by the end of this month, or if not; the third of next month. I'm also hoping things will get more stable for me and I'll be able to get some things I've been meaning to do done. Btw, we're still switching to Bukkit.
Also, from a suggestion from Derek; we are considering changing the server's map, and we have a selection of: Skylands, Planetoids, Golden Tunnels, or Primordial Desert. If we are going with Skylands, I think I might make some modifications to the map (mainly the spawn area, but I may finish the un-named watery region and name it too possibly...) so suggestions for the Skylands map are welcome and encouraged. PS, if you can't vote and you already did; delete your vote and you should be good.
Also, we'll have some new policies to be enforced when the server re-opens:
1. There will be no spawning items, only by staff for BUILDING PUBLIC AREAS such as the spawn point. So if your staff, do not spawn items unless you are helping with a public area.
2. Zero tolerance policy on griefing (You grief, you will be pernemantly banned!)
3. Any non-griefing/other rule breaking such as continous fights/arguments or stealing from other players will be reviewed by staff, possibly with a temp ban or perma ban.
4. We will also have more focus on maturity, respect, and common sense. I.e, only take what you need in regards to chests and if there's no sign regarding it as public, don't take from it at all!

Just to let you know, I'm running vanilla software right now. So, no mods or whitelist until Bukkit is odne.
