Hey folks, just popped in to see what has been going on. Did a second server ever make the scene, or is the "Unnamed Server" still the place to be? The Halloween update is a bust for me, hasn't piqued my interest enough to pick up Minecraft again and Notch is saying PvP will not be implemented until Beta, which tells us nothing useful. Won't be making the scene till there's battles to be had.
Cons

Health is still broken.
Minecarts are still broken.
Tools still repair themselves when dropped.
No fish mobs.
Fishing rods work, but fish seem to be one of those *bugged* items that are hard to pick up.
Pumpkins are one of those "bugged" items that are hard to pick up.
Ghast fireballs are invisible.
Hell: You can not use portals.
---With Hell enabled, you spawn in hell and you are stuck there.
---With Hell disabled, you spawn in a normal world and you are stuck there.
---If a portal is constructed in the normal world, no Hell mobs spawn (I think)
--- If a server switches from a Hell World to a Normal World, a Hell Biome is created, and insanity ensues.
