Server is Updated to MC 1.2.3

Its that time of year, we caught up with Mojang's silly updates after about two weeks of waiting.
As usual the plugins we use is the main reason for the long wait. we are using many plugins we depend on, that we can't live without.

There might be some uninteresting news with the 1.2 MC update that people care about.
With the server there is some changes due to plugin developers loosing interest in their work, or whatever reason they might have, we are the ones suffering the consequences when they don't provide us with the free updates that we need for our free plugins.
Thats how things work.
However, when something dies there is usually something new paving its way, in some dark moist basement, so its not the end of the world yet. I expect that with time, we will see new plugins that replace what we lost today.

The Plugin-status changed a little, here's how the update affected us:

MinecartMania (removed)
This is the plugin we used for stations, efficient and simple transport, item organizing and that stuff.

XSigns (removed)
Redstone toggleable signs, not too commonly used on the server though.

iAuction (not updated yet)
The auction plugin we use, we will survive a few days without this, I expect it to be updated later.

QuickSign (not updated yet)
A plugin to edit signs without removing them, also support colored text and editing more than one sign simultaneously. Not too commonly used either (I believe?) but will most likely be updated later.

With most plugins still working as before I will give it some time, see what changes and try to find replacements for those not working, this might take a while.

We are currently running CraftBukkit 1.2.3-R0.2 (#2060). This is a beta build and might contain bugs. This is also unfortunately the case with many of the plugins.

Take Care!
