Please note that I was having a break and my hard drive was broken and I was unable to get on.

I have stated that events are a problem, not only that, they could make new operators and keep them inline so you only have to worry about the SMP mods. They would take weight off your shoulders so you don't have to worry about two servers. They could help implement plugins.

2. Edit: Basically, all a Classic admin would do that we don't have already is organize events, but we don't need a separate admin for that.

1. That would be better, having someone that actually knows how to code instead of finding an admin that knows how to code and can be an admin at the same time. Perhaps there could be a plugin developer.

Nick watches over classic through IRC sometimes (I know because I try checking up classic through it everyday). So I'm pretty sure he's keeping an eye on classic and making sure everything runs smoothly.

I don't think a new set of admins is absolutely necessary but we do need to focus a little more effort on classic. Funny thing is that there are times of the day when we have like 7 operators on (happened a few days ago but there was barely any guests lol). I know a few operators are trying their absolute best to spend some time on classic, so classic isn't technically a "lost cause" yet (everyone seems to over-dramatize that classic is forgotten). Classic is not forgotten but operators are still necessary at certain times.

To be honest, there are times late at night when no moderators or trusteds (except me) are online on smp. The problem for both classic and smp is that we need more operators/mods with a specific time zone, so we can be able to moderate the servers at all times.

Also Mr, there are a lot of us that still want to go for classic operator (including me) so I don't understand where you got that from? Many of the builders are applying for Operator, but some are still not yet fit for the job, so they are rejected for now. I would apply myself and attempt to help out, but I still need to achieve builder (builder is like a lost cause to me lol). I personally love the classic server. It was the first minecraft server I ever came to and I have never forgotten about it. However, recently I lost interest in attempting to build because I struggle with building (call me lazy if you want but I honestly just can't build). I planned on building something this week since I'm on spring break so I'll try. Anyways, I'm going offtopic.

The point is, despite everyone's interest in SMP, all of us are doing our best to spend some time on classic and the admins, although overwhelmed with work, do not need to be seperated into seperate categories. Optical trusted Nick and Relkeb to be admins over everything, SMP and Classic. Who would he appoint to take their place in classic, if not them?

Guys we DONT need another admin.

You lot might disagree with me but I feel that having another admin wont do much. I see where you are all coming for, classic is losing attention from many staff and its not really been looked after but its ok. The way its treated now could be improved but how come we can still get 200+ people online. Its because its a great server as it is.

But SMP had recently gone live again, and with the constant updates from mojang and bukkit new bugs appear every week. These bugs need to be sorted out as SMP is a different server, where people have paid to play minecraft and expect a server to be running the way it should. Also recently we had gone up in popularity on the SMP server meaning that the server is struggling to keep up. This means that Opti is spending most of his time trying to either improve the server to run better or to upgrade the server. This also means we need all our admins to help Opti to improve the server.

Because of this reasoning i feel that Classic can survive on its own right now, and some Ops (those thinking we need events and other competitions) should rise to the opportunity and show that they can run an event. This means that our two current admins should be focusing on the SMP server until that is good enough to not need as much "tender loving care" and can stand on its own two feet.

When all of this is added up, I see no reason a need admin is needed to be appointed, and I hope you can as well.

I don't think I need to say anything else, or do I?

As far as I know, there hasnt been any major problems on classic since smp started that would require us to have new Admins.
