They would definitely be the first to go.
I and probably many others especially chose to become a member and build in the member world to have a somewhat more "permanent" place to build. (And I'm still building there every day.)
Never was it said any world would be permanent. You should pick your choices more carefully perhaps.
I didn't say permanent, I said more "permanent", as in definitely longer lasting than guest worlds. When I joined there were only guest worlds and one member world. Of course I chose the member world to have a bit more "permanent" place. If I would be joining now I'd choose the new member world, an option I didn't have back then. Oh well, at least we'll have a world download in the crazy case member worlds are removed.

I'm disappointed you even consider removing a member world.....old or new. I and probably many others especially chose to become a member and build in the member world to have a somewhat more "permanent" place to build. (And I'm still building there every day.) Just adding a new world would definitely be my top choice. Lando

Also, I think that Mojang knew very well they had ppl working for them for free doing very important work, while they were making tons of money themselves. Opinions vary on this but I think it can be seen as exploitation. That's all.
The fact of the matter is Mojang in no way need to give any money away, of course they are making money - they are a company, why should they have to give it to people working on a project that is voluntary? It's not as important as the vanilla game itself in no way, in fact, over 50% of the players that play are in single player, when you think of the split between different multiplayer services Bukkit accounts way under 50%.
The people of Bukkit do it out of their free time, they are not working for Mojang, they will have either their own job or still be in education. I really don't see what you fail to realize, they are not even volunteers for Mojang, they are volunteers for the Bukkit community. Leaving their own community because Mojang has been there all along, and trying to protect what they have done? Alright.
I said I'd talk to Nick about the new items.
I think neither Mojang nor the volunteers did anything illegal so we cannot blame them for that. This is purely ethical and both sides have things against them there. I'm not very much in favor of capitalism because it causes huge differences in wealth. That's why I have the opinion I have on this matter and others might have other opinions. Added to that, if they would have paid them it would have been a win win situation. They didn't, so everybody suffered. The volunteers, Mojang and the community. (Mojang the least of all of course.) Was not paying them the best solution? I don't think so. Did they have to pay them? Of course not. When Nick replied I though it was a good moment to ask about the sponge. I didn't mean to ignore you in any way or form. Thank you for talking to him.

How can you not understand this? If bukkit wasnt owned by mojang, they still wouldn't have gotten Paid. That means bukkit was not exploiting them because they wereworking for free before.
I do understand. I said "indeed" about the not have gotten paid part, as in "I agree". I did however disagree with you about the "baby" part. Also, I think that Mojang knew very well they had ppl working for them for free doing very important work, while they were making tons of money themselves. Opinions vary on this but I think it can be seen as exploitation. That's all. To get back on topic, what do you think about the unobtainable sponge? As it should be part of 1.8 could you pls add it to the market? Cheers You're crazy.
Pls don't make this personal. I'm not saying in here what I think about you either. We just have a difference of opinion on this matter. ty

you realize that even if they weren't working for mojang, they still wouldn't have gotten paid right? the way I see it, he was just a baby that decided after the fact that he should have gotten paid for a project he VOLUNTEERED for Just because mojang made money.
Indeed, although I wouldn't call him a baby, more something like; extremely naive. Not knowing he was working for Mojang, thinking everything he wrote was his own... The immature behaviour would come from Mojang, although filthy rich, being unwilling to pay for the important work the Bukkit team did. Mojang truly exploited the situation, not very commendable of them at all. They were all knowingly voluntarily contributing to a project for free. Hell, even the Moderators of the site resigned with the same excuse. Do you think the Moderators were building their career as Moderators? I don't think so, I think it was just a petty excuse to make people feel sorry for them. What they did was a hobby, and asking money for that at anytime is just wrong. That's just your opinion, I have a different one. Whether it was a money issue or whether they were just claiming entitlement to money for what they did are 2 different things. Again, this wasn't a money issue because they were all contributing to a project as a hobby. As far as I know, there was nothing in any contract saying they'd ever be paid for doing anything, if there was, there would be a whole new issue here. As long as they didn't know they were working for free for a filthy rich company, yes it was a hobby. The moment they found out though, it was a whole different matter. If I was as stupid as they were, to find out I had been working for a filthy rich company for several years for free, I'd expect some compensation too. But again, that's just my opinion, you clearly have a different one. As soon as Mojang was thrown into the picture, they all felt that they were somehow entitled to extra resources and rewards. Again you blame Mojang for being the cause of the whole entire staff not knowing about Mojang's ownership over the project, yet I happen to recall EvilSeph being the Bukkit lead at the time, so you don't think maybe he should have been the one to sit them all down and say, "hey guys, Mojang own us now".
I think they were extremely naive but nontheless Mojang could have easily compensated them for their efforts. It would have been a nice gesture to say the least. It would have made such a huge difference. Of course I blame Mojang for knowingly exploiting these guys. Yes, they should have known better, but still. You also claim that they somehow "confiscated" his code, again not true at all. Bukkit at that time owned the project after EvilSeph's resignation, that is all. If anything that is EvilSeph's fault for not thinking that one through.
No I didn't say that, I said they tried to do so. They failed. Bukkit was discontinued. And yes, the Bukkit ppl should have known better. Wrong again. Are you sure you did your research? It went something like this:
1. EvilSeph decides for whatever reason (he said DMCA issues, which turned out to be a lie) he wanted to shut down Bukkit.
2. Mojang said hell no (and actually saved the project for the time being)
3. Dinnerbone said he'd update Bukkit
4. Majority, if not all Bukkit staff resign
5. Wolverness filed a DMCA takedown request
6. Bukkit were required to hold the project
7. The Bukkit forums were put under the control of the Curse team
8. md_5 and the Spigot team released 1.8 for Spigot and Bukkit
You conveniently leave out everything that happened before nr 1. He had a perfectly good reason to shut it down, knowing that a filthy rich Mojang had exploited him and his mates for years. If Mojang had been a bit more mature and less greedy they would have paid them generously and all would still be well. That is what leaded to the creation of 1.8 Spigot and Bukkit, not Dinnerbone. He literally has nothing to do with that.
Exactly my point, Dinnerbone promised something and he didn't do it. Ppl need to understand that Mojang would never be the company they are now without the work of the Bukkit ppl.
Mojang could have shown the Bukkit guys some god damn financial appreciation!
Instead the Bukkit ppl got screwed and Mojang was sold for 2.5 billion dollars.
It's a damn shame Wolverness wasn't able to sue them for an enormous amount of money.
Pretty much covered all of this nonsense, please refer to the above paragraphs.
I have a completely different opinion and might as well call yours nonsense, which I pretty much all covered. Since this is all a matter of opinion, you say it's all their own fault they didn't know and it was voluntary, I say Mojang has exploited the situation while being filthy rich and could have easily solved the problem by being a little bit less asocial, I think we can agree to disagree.

(PS, is that the same Dinnerbone that screwed us all by promising he would update Bukkit to 1.8 but never did?)
No, it's the Dinnerbone that said he would update Bukkit, but was then legally not allowed to due to someone else screwing the community over. Gah.. please learn what actually happened, you described like 10% of the story here.
I know exactly what happened, I read all about it. Point is; Dinnerbone should not make promises he cannot keep.
And the other guy you claim screwed the community got screwed himself by Mojang. I completely understand his actions. He's the victim, not the bad guy. He worked his ass off for years for all of us and got screwed by Mojang and also by Dinnerbone.
But lets not get off topic.
You're so wrong it hurts. This was in no way Mojang's fault at all. The whole Bukkit staff had a hissy fit because they allegedly had no idea they were working for Mojang after 2 years, and that's apparently Mojang's fault for not telling them individually. The Bukkit community wanted a system where they could be in charge of everything, yet they then turned around and complained that Mojang had been sitting behind the scenes doing nothing for 2 years.
Wolverness, the one we're speaking about, thought that his code he had written voluntarily for Bukkit over many years was all of a sudden in a breach of his copyright because of Mojang's ownership of Bukkit, which has been there since 2012.
I have no sympathy for Wolverness, he's doing what he's doing just because he can, and until he can reveal his motives for this, he will forever be seen as the bad guy.
Go ahead and keep seeing him as the victim, but please then don't be one of those people who can't sleep at night because their beloved server hasn't been able to update to the latest patch because of legal issues.
Everyone is trying to get somewhere in this world. His motives are crystal clear. The Bukkit ppl thought they were working on their own future. You forget this is a money issue. Mojang making TONS of money, and having ppl (Wolverness among many others, who all quit too) working for them without paying them, even without them knowing it. Indeed, I don't blame the guy at all for expecting something in return after they found out. It's not like Mojang couldn't afford it. Instead they said "screw you" and then he decided to stop the project. He always thought his code would be worth a lot but Mojang just tried to confiscate it. Dinnerbone then promised he would finish it which he never did. That's why we have Spigot now instead of Bukkit. Ppl need to understand that Mojang would never be the company they are now without the work of the Bukkit ppl. Mojang could have shown the Bukkit guys some god damn financial appreciation! Instead the Bukkit ppl got screwed and Mojang was sold for 2.5 billion dollars. It's a damn shame Wolverness wasn't able to sue them for an enormous amount of money.

They do spawn in old chunks by their own, but only if that chunk has been seen by someone for a few mins. Which, on SMP is very unlikely...

Interesting, but the point is we don't have them. So how do we get sponge? Could you add it to the market pls? Cheers (PS, is that the same Dinnerbone that screwed us all by promising he would update Bukkit to 1.8 but never did?)

I thought Mojang said they would... maybe you're not looking hard enough!? 
Will see about Prismarine since I'm sure people would like to use it.
If you're talking about Monuments, I don't think so. The areas just spawn the Guardians. I've seen this at several locations. The monuments just don't spawn in old chunks by themselves. Even existing witchhuts have not updated to 1.8 You can sell sponge for a dollar at the market.
What's the use of that if we can't get Sponge anyway? Without the availability of monuments I'd like to have the option to BUY it from the market, not sell...

Has anyone found any newly spawned ocean monuments in our current worlds?
Theyre not going to spawn in worlds that were already made, unless the borders were expanded and new chunks were loaded. But even then, expanded borders dont necessarily mean theres going to be one.
They can spawn in old chunks
I don't think they can, but Guardians are now spawning at the old 1.7 chunks where the monuments would have spawned in 1.8 That means we can get Prismarine but not Sponge. It would be great if we could buy Sponge at the market.

Optical, you're over 4 months behind with Top Voters.
I sent you a mail with this info but no reaction. Maybe you read it here.
Remember, votes are very important!
And thank you for all the other work you put into the server like solving this problem with the name changes.

He was definitely breaking blocks all over the world and also placing blocks on other ppls builds. Dirt to grow trees on, mycelium to grow mushrooms on, spamming bonemeal everywhere etc etc.

We managed to destroy over 3000 minecarts so most of the lag is gone.
