Actually, nether portals are, and will remain disabled. Having to mainy problems with them right now.
I realize we can't completely go back to the good ol' days completely. I just want us to narrow our focus a bit. No server can provide everything. That's why I feel we shouldn't have a PvP dedicated world. There's a reason dedicated PvP servers exist (their main focus is PvP, and they can do a much better job of it than we can). I'm also slightly annoyed with the tekkit server, since while it is fun (or drama creating) for those who use it, it is helping to divide our community.
We will always remain family friendly. I don't want to change our philosophy regarding that. We have taken it a little too far by adding on anything that anyone has ever asked for (it seems we were seriously considering a Pokemon world at one point...). We can still remain a family friendly server. I just think it would be wise to refocus ourselves as a family friendly building server aimed at people of all ages (as long as they follow our rules).
