Does this affect all SMF forums, or is it unique to us?

Thanks for sorting it, by the way.

/auction sell (blockID) (ammount) (starting bid)

I don't know about you, but I personally have no idea of half the blockIDs of stuff I'd want to sell. Perhaps have it put the things in your active hand slot up with /auction sell (starting bid) (optional amount, default is everything in hand)

Claw, did you conquer the minecraft world, or not yet??

Getting close!

Ya it would work well that way but as of right now, I don't know if it is possible to distinguish where the mob came from.

It is. (After a quick bit of googling): Just listen for the spawn event, assign metadata for those that came from a spawner, then check whether or not the mob has your metadata on death.

Here's how McMMO does it:

/**
     * Monitor CreatureSpawn events.
     *
     * @param event The event to watch
     */
    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.MONITOR, ignoreCancelled = true)
    public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent event) {
        LivingEntity entity = event.getEntity();

        switch (event.getSpawnReason()) {
            case SPAWNER:
            case SPAWNER_EGG:
                entity.setMetadata(mcMMO.entityMetadataKey, mcMMO.metadataValue);

                Entity passenger = entity.getPassenger();

                if (passenger != null) {
                    passenger.setMetadata(mcMMO.entityMetadataKey, mcMMO.metadataValue);
                }
                return;

            case BREEDING:
                entity.setMetadata(mcMMO.bredMetadataKey, mcMMO.metadataValue);
                return;

            default:
                return;
        }
    }

Note: Code function doesn't seem to be displaying it properly, and is even worse when within a spoiler. Might just be my browser though. Just look via the quote function

Maybe it's time to just face the reality that Minecraft as a game is dying, and whatever additions we bring in, they'll just slow down, not prevent, the inevitable.

**Team 9000, our old rival, actually completely vanished after classic was removed.  Even their SMP server was shut down around a year later.  They were as popular as we were and could not maintain an active user base. 

Team9000 is and has always been a gaming network first, and a Minecraft server second. And it's still fairly active, possibly more so than Opticraft.

Both accounts have been unbanned. Hope to see you on the server soon

(Assuming you're talking about smp.opticraft.net as opposed to creative. Additionally, I can't find records of an account called Chuck_Knoblock. However, there is one for PJsnake)

MrParkourRaven was banned due to suspicion that he was an alternate account of yours. As you two share an IP address, its very hard to know if two players are separate, or its one guy with two accounts.
For this reason, I'll just handle both ban appeals at once, as it is unlikely that we will be unbanning one without the other due to ban evasion risks.

You've been banned many times for griefing, although only in small quantities.
I'd be willing to unban both accounts if you could apologise, and promise me that neither you, nor your brother, will grief again.
