At 6.10am this morning, I was sent this email by tech support:

Hi,

I have changed the IP to 78.129.222.51 and it is looking much better now. Please do verify from your end.

This was done in relation to the trace routes and pings you all sent to me, and hopefully if there was lag spikes sticking out, they should be resolved now.

The server is connectable at that IP address, however to connect to server.crazy-fools.co.uk may take up to an additional 24 hours.

NEW SERVER IP: 78.129.222.51

Bukkit updates will be provided to the server tonight, downtime should only be 10-15 minutes.

In reference to the last news post, we have updated bukkit and now are monitoring the server with mobs re-enabled.

Mobs have had to be disabled - it seems to hang the server.

We'll re-enable them once the bug has been confirmde to have been fixed.

The server will be down later tonight for a quick upgrade

Due to the new nature of how groups work, new donators will be processed manually nightly from 6PM - 10PM GMT.

For your personal viewing pleasure, you can now download the old map:

http://web.crazy-fools.co.uk/download.php?view.1

Included is a readme file, and of course the map itself.

Password for uncompressing is: CrazyFoolsUK

To uncompress this file, you will require this application too: http://www.7-zip.org/

Thats us all set up with bukkit now, we'll still be making a few changes as we see fit.

I'd like to thank a certain member for helping out tonight, however he would like his identity to kept hidden, but he will be playing with all of you on the server

Good news for donators, all expiry dates have been frozen for 2 weeks, so if you were due to expire in the past 2 weeks, you can have another 2 weeks to play!

We'll also be accepting donations again shortly - since the server is now again in a playable state.
