See, SMP was made with the intention for players to download the vanilla console, run it, then play with friends thru port forwarded ports or thru the use of a VPN like Hamachi. It was supposed to be for small groups who were friends and wanted to experience multiplayer together.

Notch is probably very disappointed with his users.
You're talking about PUBLIC servers. If you set up a private SMP server with a few of your friends, playing together is really fun. Because it's people you know, you can trust them not to grief you. Going caving with friends is great, because for whatever reason, no matter what you do, there's always that moment when everyone goes from being dead serious to laughing their blocky head off.
AGHHHH i hate servers now. the ones that are good are whitlisted after two days due to a griefer. and the bad ones are just not fun and you get BANNED! So many admins BAN me because they think it maked their problembs go away. i hate bans

thatsssss a very nice- oh wait everyone makes this joke
I don't like multi-player anymore mainly because nothing you make is safe. I mean, every now and then the entire map is restarted. Wasn't the POINT of adding thing like charcoal to the game so people didn't need to do that? There was/is the world downloader mod, but you have to remember to turn it on all the time and go around everywhere.
Don't get me started on admins that get bored and start trolling. That stuff is the worst.
I generally play on a private server with my friends that one of my friends hosts so I don't have any of your problems though...
I occasionally host a private vanilla server and play with one or two friends that I know personally. That's the only SMP that I'll tolerate.
As for the few saying I pick bad servers: I do pick bad servers. Statistically speaking, from my point of view most SMP servers are awful ****, as at least 9/10 of them have all the problems I described.
On the very rare occasion I find a decent server - no plugins except for anti-griefing or administrative stuff, good staff that doesn't drop 100 diamonds at spawn every hour and ban you for not agreeing with everything they say - then yes, I prefer it over SSP because having other people around is nice. Of course, finding one like that's a one in a million chance, and I'd rather play SP than most servers.
EDIT: Yeah, private servers with friends are nice except I hardly know anyone who plays Minecraft.
Multiplayer can be pretty fun when you play on white-listed Vanilla servers. Only problem is that if griefing is found, the first option is /ban Socknic29, and not "Probably a hacker got on!"
SMP on a whitelisted server run by myself and a few IRL friends. I got a taste of the crap you mentioned when I tried playing SMP on some random server about a year ago. I've never tried a public server since then. The only time I played SSP in the last six months or so was when I didn't have access to the internet for whatever reason.
Before I destroy the reputation of these other dumbasses, let me begin by saying OP is entirely and utterly incorrect.
I have never visited an MP server with any of the described problems. Especially not as bad as you say they are.
I hate SP because it's boring (as said earlier) and you're alone.
MP is fun because you can talk to people, work with others to survive, build cities, and so much more!
Give it a chance on the following servers:
Killion Detention Center
Minecraft Omega
MCCTF
University of Autumn
the server i play on has about 150 dumbasses who spawn killed me to death then when they were offline i got creative and nuked the **** out of the server never going there again
You're the kind of stupid **** that makes OP's ridiculous claim about all servers seem true.
Which, of course, it's not.
Prove me wrong, OP.
I like to think there are just two kinds of server;
THE PRIVATE SERVER
This server is good. This server was created for you and a few friends to play Vanilla Survival together and have a blast.
THE PUBLIC SERVER
9.99999999 times out of 10 this type of server sucks. Let's examine why:
Op's who are incapable of using the responsibility that has been trusted to them. Their favourite words are "BAN" and "UMAD".
Frequented by noobs who ask everyone to do everything for them.
Every existing plugin under the sun is installed.
Non-dedicated admins. Seriously, if the server is gonna be down every other day because you're too busy to keep it up then why the **** have you decided to make a server?
Overall, SMP was intended for, and started out as, something nice and interactive, but was soon abused by the braindead's who thought they could make a really cool server that everyone would love to play on. Hurr de durr.
I don't think you understand multiplayer servers at all.
Have you ever been to Killion Detention Server, Minecraft Omega, MCCTF, or the University of Autumn Server?
Those servers are all what we call public servers and have none of the problems you have described here.
AGHHHH i hate servers now. the ones that are good are whitlisted after two days due to a griefer. and the bad ones are just not fun and you get BANNED! So many admins BAN me because they think it maked their problembs go away. i hate bans
If you're banned, it's your own fault, dumbass.
Don't complain about your own stupidity as if it was someone else's fault.

You silly ****, server owners reset maps because new updates are released with brand new terrain generators.
Do you think we want to reset our worlds? No! It's simply essential to get the latest and greatest terrain generation.
Also, why the **** are you complaining about charcoal? Get the **** out of this thread if you're going to complain about completely unrelated things.
Lastly, the majority of administrators of any and all public servers are not abusive.
Again, have you ever been to Killion Detention Server, Minecraft Omega, MCCTF, or the University of Autumn server?
Ohoho, your computer is obviously **** in the case of FPS lag.
There has never once in the history of mankind been a case of FPS lag that was related to server lag.
Server lag only applies to packet latency (Google it if you're stupid) so server lag is only chat delay and block place/destroy delay.
Since 1.2.4 there were alot of Bug Fixes
I Was playing in a server that today i hate
People could grief you
People could steal you
But in mine opinion both are cool
SMP Is kinda better
You can make a community
But it depends from the server
I Like server that has at least LWC Plugins and protections
And actually i love being owner of my server :3
Being a server owner, I could prove you wrong on all those points that you put as to why SMP isn't fun for you. PM me if you want to accept my challenge...
You chose horrible servers, sure there are a odd handful that have abusive admins and bad players, but the majority of servers have good staff and are fun to play, if minecraft only had singleplayer I would probably not play it. Singleplayer makes me feel as if there's no one that will ever see my creation, and I like to work with others on smp.
SMP all the way. I have met many good friends from playing SMP and it always depends on which server that you join. The most enjoyable servers are the medium slotted ones with a small community.
I like them both. the only problem with smp is griefers, and bad admins. but that is why it's best to join a very small server that is not lpoking to grow big and has good dedica ted hardware.

THIIS ^^^^
But you can't always control the community. Put more blame on the players than you do the server structures.
