The QGL\Ausgamers Minecraft server now has a whitelist to curb the rampant griefing.
To be added to the list simply reply to this thread with your Minecraft username, it is important to ensure you type it correctly.
Hmod has also been activated and for a brief period /item will be available again to help players fixed damaged creations. Though this will be turned off at some time in the future.
Below is the list of people currently on the whitelist.
WetWired: You need to add the emergency whitelist plugin to the plugins sub-directory, then create a whitelist.properties file in the same directory as the craftbukkit.jar file. It's just a plain text file, put each username on a new line.
sorry chub I saw you already mentioned your name earlier
the server is back up and running with a whitelist plugin (different than the one you mentioned above mantrok, this one works with the latest bukkit build)
this plugin will let people connect who aren't on the whitelist however they will be unable to destroy, place or interact with blocks
Thanks wet. Kick ass mountain town you got going on there. Whoever made that is awesome. Hard not being an admin anymore. Stuck in the middle of the night, no way to spawn weapons or blocks, hiding in town waiting so i can go out again.
looks like there won't be a hmod update until the 28th, and I don't think I want to risk running the server without the whitelist

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist ” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add ”, “remove ”, “list” or “reload” * New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!
If you have bukkit, I recommend not using Essentials addon atm, it's a tad buggy with 1.3, especially with /give and /set spawn. I believe the bed system makes a player spawn at the last bed they slept in, so /spawn is not quite working properly.
i didn't think hmod was getting any more versions because it fell into the "can't be bothered and other people are doing it" basket (and isn't now bulkit or something)
i was under the impression that it was physically impossible to modify terrain near someone else buildings, either that or the lag got really bad...
i was half way through building my secret lair with underwater entrance... can we get back to it soon? I'd prefer to have greifers and be able to play the game. can we at least set up a temporary other server (with /items enabled?) while we wait? i thought there was going to be 2 servers set up anyway? one for creative and 1 for game play?
also, why not setup a fee for "non active ausforum accounts (postcount < 100) " to access the server to stop griefers & help offset hosting costs. it only has to be $5 or something. this is only if you can't be verified by a senior (1000+ post count) forum member. i doubt it would be taken up by many (if any) but it gives lurkers an option if they are really keen.
you could always change terrain, it might have been a laggy day, (well as long as i've been on the server at least)
also i have no issues with the amount of people on the server, but you can really tell when there are more than few players active, the lag make it rather un-playable
After hounding for ages to get admin rights to keep the server updated as Nathan was always busy, now I too am in the same situation, work and home commitments are keeping me away from playing and more importantly keeping the server maintained. If someone else is willing and capable I'd be happy to hand over the reigns with Nathan's blessing. It's not fair to you guys to have to put up with this.
why have i got the feeling that the sever is now no longer down but gone, this is not only a long time, but it has gone from connection refused, to time out
and let us stand around the torch light, made by our hard punching of trees, and burning of wood, or if the gods provided on the first day coal,
let us not morn the lost of many hours spend building and mining, or at the start spawning items, that helped us build structures that defied all laws of physics and sometimes sense
and let us hope, that during lans that may yet happen, there is a little spot of the server, set aside for the minecrafter to us at a time when all vision is gone, and the COD has sent you crossed eyed, for after war, a time of building is needed
who gives a fuck. it was a good game, but didnt evolve and stay intersting because the creator took the profits and went and put them into some unknown product that wasnt anything you paid for to begin win.
I love how they called it a minecraft BETA when I purchased it. As far as I was concered that meant I was supporting it while it became non-beta. This "game" is far from complete. They are really going to have to mod the fuck out of this for it to get any life again.
true, it is a little bit of a let down, but it seems there is still working going into the game, and it isn't too bad to get back into, shame there isn't a server for us anymore tho, i had really started something that could have been great (or shit)
For some reason, my son cant connect to the minecraft.net web site or log in. I can on my PC and we are on the same external IP address. Any ideas WTF is going on there? He doesn't have a firewall turned on and the router is not blocking him at all.
Can i jump into that as well Eds? I'm surprised we got griefed considering the white list. I think the community is just too small to run a dedicated ausgamers mine-craft server.
all my gold bars got stolen, but i think most of my losses are of my iron trying to build my castle and falling a lot.
there has been some massive griefing, a small town built by myself and mantorok seems to have been burned, and some items stolens, has this happened to anyone else in the last three days?
I haven't been on for a while but my tree got burnt down again for a second time and old mates tree farm next to it got raped.
I don't think the whitelist was activated after the last update allowing skitz0 and crew to grief. However it seems to be back in operation. Only those in OP's whitelist have been added. If anyone know's of someone on that whitelist to be griefing let me know(PM) ASAP. Cheers
Man I'm looking forward to The Nether working in Survival MP. I want to build a railway through there to connect distant player bases. Megaprojects in hell are awesome :)
A mega project in hell would be awesome, I look out at the seas of lava and think something along the lines of Minas Morgul.
Every time I go there though I scream like a little girl when the ghasts start shooting at me so it's kinda off the table. :-S
Nah, you just need to go in with cobblestone, food, tools and weapons at the ready then immediately establish a waystation/base of operations. The real trick will be finding another portal through The Nether, or building one in the correct spot to come out in the correct spot Above. The Nether is not conducive to walking in straight lines or navigating precisely.
But I'm really keen to try and get a team in there building a fortified rail system as a shortcut. You'd need guys keeping the Ghasts off you, someone laying rail, someone else laying cobblestone for the rail to not get destroyed, at least one person travelling back to the Above to get materials... More of a challenge than building up top has become.
I just read that the idea for traveling through The Nether came from The Ways in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books. That pleases me, but The Ways would be better, and scarier than The Nether.
I built a netherrealm portal in my SP game and went in. Heard nothing but crying from monsters and it scared me so I jumped out, dismantled the portal and never thought about going back in lol.
They need an incentive beyond fast travel and the few Nether-specific materials. I'd be in there all the time if it presented a good source of ores... Or pets other than the Wolf.
*EDIT* But there's a rumor regarding the introduction of lanterns suggesting that glowstone dust will be an ingredient. That would encourage me to go in there.

We need a mod on there to set home locations etc, like there used to be.
My missus jumped on over the weekend but got lost exploring and couldn't find our house again haha.
i am so lost, does anyone know the coords to the runway. i'm at like roughly 1800,1000 got so lost in some caves, ended up in whoop whoop. been walking around for days in circles i think. havent seen anything man made except for a torch but i think i put that down. haha
Can I get added to the whitelist please? Player name:
Rattius
Cheers.
Also check out industrialcraft mod, there is a newer version: industrialcraft 2 it isn't SMP yet though (the first one is). You can make Nuclear reactors, with meltdowns too if poorly designed :D :D
Two little things which I just stumbled across. Apologies if they've been posted, I've only played the demo of this and don't really follow it, but thought these were pretty cool.
