Hey Guys, Poch here. I'm not sure exactly where to start, but there's good news and bad news, so I may as well start with the bad news first.

CFWr is closing.

Now, before you all throw your monitors away and uninstall minecraft forever, let me explain why.
1. We've lost most of our player base, seeing as we have a maximum of 2-4 people on at once nowadays, and it isnt cost effective to host a $32 a month server for 4 people
2. None of our staff are ever online, barre maybe a mod or two.
3. Es, (and waha to my knowledge), along with at least 2 of the supers, are taking a hiatus from the server/minecraft because of various reasons.

Now, for the first bit of good news. We wont be shutting down right away, we're going to keep the server up until November 7th, and in that time, we plan to have lots of things going on.

All you people that are going BUT THE SERVER IS DOWN NOW!!! DON'T LIE TO ME!!! That was on purpose, because I knew the only reason people would look at the forums is if there was a problem, and if you are one of those people, it worked. XD

But anyways, for the first week or so, its just going to be normal server stuff. Then, sometime around halloween we're going to try and get all of the old maps, including the original CFW maps, up and running on the server for us to party on, although that is mainly dependent on whether or not pinkeyes still has them. Then, on the last day, we have a huge party, and then we out with a bang: Nuke the spawn.
And then the server closes.

But that's not all.

Jc, 3nd and I have decided to open up a new server that will be open as soon as CFWr closes, designed to be almost exactly like the Original CFW, with the same name. No economy; barter-trade system, just like the good old days. Nice, cozy spawn, not too overbearing and such. Simple plugins to start out with, that means no movecraft or cannonsigns for the moment, unfortunately. We will be keeping mcmmo, WE, LB, towny, and probably a few other ones. But for the most part, no new plugins. We will have new staff, with Jc, 3nd and I being admins, the supers and mods have already been chosen, but over time, as the player base increases, we will probably have more. Donations towards the server are encouraged, and the tier of server we get depends on how many donations we get, but most likely we're going to get the gold tier from Redstone hosting.
HOWEVER, don't donate yet, as we haven't set up a paypal for the new server. Right now, we're still getting things set up and sorted, so there will be more information on the way. I'll make sure to keep you guys posted on the specifics as we decide on them. All people already signed up for the server will get Regular rank, so make sure to post your username below so we can add you! Thanks for the support!
