darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Hello, I have been thinking long and hard of what to do about the future of YAMS and I have finally decided. I would like to announce that I am stepping down as the administrator of YAMS and that as part of this process I have invited TheTimeMeddler to become the new Administrator of YAMS. He is a very good friend and has some good ideas for the future of YAMS so I wish him all of the best in administrating YAMS, I’m sure he will do everything in his power to make the future of the YAMS experience as enjoyable as possible. I have every bit of faith in him! Signing off, Darren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTimeMeddler 9 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Hi Everyone, It is with great pleasure to meet you all, as the new administrator for YAMS my first steps in bringing our server more in line with other servers out there will be: Restructure of all staff, all staff to be re-interviewed regarding their position with YAMS, those who do not comply will be demoted. Move over from Bukkit to Spigot to improve on server performance, this will help us handle the amount of changes which could cause server lag. Remove whitelist and unban all previous players to allow them to enjoy our new play style. Increase difficulty to hardcore gamemode, if a player dies they will be banned, at the end of the month the bans will be reset. Open the creative world so we can finally have some freedom. Enable TNT and creeper explosions in the main world. Convert main world water into lava to darken the feel of the server. Make it permanently night. Alter the rules to define ourselves as a Minecraft Anarchy server, with PVP, Griefing and Looting allowed. Setup new domain name and retitle the server name from YAMS to something that reflects our new play style. Long live the dark future of YAMS, I can not wait!

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Hello everyone, As I'm sure you are all aware yesterday was April Fools day and I played the joke of stepping down and promoting TheTimeMeddler, had any YAMS player been on in the morning I would have got them to become joke admin but no one was on so TheTimeMeddler was used which actually worked quite well with his previous antics! I can safely say that while it was funny writing the list of changes, most of them will not be happening.... Mostly being, that one of them is... has! Lucky its not a bad change, but rather last weekend I changed us over from CraftBukkit to Spigot to improve our server performance, this actually appears to have helped for lag around spawn, at least for me when I tested without Optifine. Hope you enjoyed the bit of fun and if you would like to see the nether version of spawn you may go to /spawn and step on the random pressure plate in the middle of the quartz floor on top. Long live the bright future of YAMS, I can not wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 Last chance to see the lava version of YAMS Spawn, I will be removing this world very soon. To get there just go to /spawn and find the pressure plate on the quartz floor and stand on it. P.S.
