Please leave a vote in the poll and a comment on what you think. -- There will be more to come, but some side features are disabled while we still continue to develop them! Hope you enjoy the new site, Regards, Jamie

So you may ask, what's different. Well a lot. We have become way more simple, way more user friendly and less buggy. My personal aim while creating JR V16 was to show the world what a great community and website we have. In old and recent times we have had a nice website, but it's been complicated to understand, complicated to navigate and quite annoying at times. So I have personally redesigned JR from the ground up, building from the base which is Invision Power board and re modded everything from scratch, coded the design manually and really brought out the guns. Things done: - Hardly anything - Top userbar - Log out link in drop down - Removed username, we know who we are by the avatar - Redesigned a simple menu - Just did a slight change for the default search, looks awesome that way. - Redid a lot of hooks on JR - Edited editor to stop the annoying back space (delete most of what you wrote bug) This happens if you use bold mainly and was so annoying, no more crap like that - Added a tool tip system, for administrators, if you want to add it to any area you have to call a class called tooltips by adding class="tooltip" to your link you'd like a tool tip on. Then for example: <h3><a href="index.php?app=core&module=search&do=new_posts&search_app=forums" class="tooltip" >{$this->lang->words['recently_added_topics']}<span><b></b>View more recent topics</span></a></h3> - Updated IP.Content - Edited forum template ever so slightly, still thinking of ideas, but I believe we don't need much changed. - Fixed sign out feature <-- Handiest feature ever - Made the website front look cleaner and easier to understand - Added a new news template to display news nicer - Updated the style heavily - Cleaned up registration template. - Added cookie monster notification (Only because we are based in the EU and have to abide by the law too) Technically Facebook has to but of course when do they abide by the law lol - Added a new "Who's viewed this topic" - Added a like leader system, so users can see who is at the top of the leader board. - Updated the login box, so it's easier to understand - Updated the shout box and added sound effects - Added a feature at the bottom of the forum counting who were the top posters each day - Added a top link that only shows when you scroll down the page - Removed the staff online hook, only makes the bottom harder to understand. Added a nice little section at the bottom outlining which rank is which. - Added a new Topic Starter hook - Updated referral system, added tool-tip after 50 referrals (People signing up from invites or your referral link) You will get citizen +, forever!!! - Added a new spam system - Added a new bug tracker system - Added several different hooks -- Trust me I'm not going to continue to bore you with, we did this, we did that. We literally started JR from ground 0 and rebuilt it. So everything has changed I hope you enjoy the release- 3 comments

What are we doing to resolve the issue's that happened today and to improve how we run JR? We have renewed and re-installed the old server that was been used for JRCraft originally. We are moving all the steam servers to this server currently. This will remove load off our website server meaning that if we have a steam server issue it won't have an impact on the website as well. We are changing our http daemon to nginx from apache which is better in terms of security and stability. - DONE We are checking our servers for any security flaws and patching anything that looks out of the ordinary - DONE We will be training certain staff members to be incident support units, These units will be alerted if an incident occurs and will be trained in bringing JR online if a major incident like this occurs again and when I am not available We are sorting out our budget to handle the other server, changing the standard currency used to purchase memberships on JR to euro's and currently it looks as JR will have to pay over 299 Euros a month to keep all our servers running. Unfortunately due to the growth of JR, we will be contacting some users that we gave free hosting to in the past and informing them that we can not handle their accounts any more unless they pay for the space. Sorting out a better failover and cloud system with our own resources to delegate server load to different servers located in strategic different locations around the world. Sorting out an admin backend to view all server events across all JR servers to make sure everything is running as normal. Bringing more staff on to the staff team at the JR website Adding in server performance features to the backend of the JR website. - DONE JR is determined to stay running and keep everyone happy. I am putting in personal funding into JR to keep everyone happy. I hate to ask but if you ever can please don't be afraid or think twice about donating to JR. We appreciate everything that users do to keep us running. Keep us running by funding us and more bigger things will come soon. We hope you didn't get affected to bad during today's event's Regards, Jamie

Enjoy, Jamie -
Software JR will be re configuring it's server software for the new server so we run way better, I have never released much information on our software but I will today! Since JR is a big server and requires most of it's RAM and CPU for Minecraft so we run a custom based linux distro which is partially based upon Debian, since Debian is one of the lightest and stable operating systems. JR will be running of course the latest Java 7 build. We can't release much more information about our server setup for minecraft but at least you know partially . Map and Server Backups Since the hardware allows JR will be doing map backups every day and plugin backups every 2 days. The JRCraft Survival Map I have decided with a lot of the staff last night that we will indeed be replacing our 15 GB survival map this update for a couple of reasons: - It's crowded - It's running out of ores - 1.3 Has new ores - It's huge and there isn't any areas for new users I want to keep my build! Don't reset the map. We have already decided to reset the map, it's happening. For instructions on keeping your structures please read: on how to submit the form to transfer your builds. Right well I have had numerous complaints that users want the old survival world to stay. While I don't think it would be the best idea, trying to keep everyone happy I have decided that the old JR survival world IS going to stay and not been reset. Why? and What's going to happen? JR will be separating the old survival and removing a couple of features from it as it would mess up the whole server if we didn't - No economy in old survival - No item sharing in different worlds - Mob arena and War will be moved to a mini games world with all the new arenas we are building There will still be a new survival world which we will be asking users to build in and we will still transfer projects over from the old world to the new world as the new world has more ores, items etc. The new survival world will still incooperate /warp jrzone as the spawn and will have all the latest features. While you are still in the old world transferring things this way will be more easy for members and hey you may decide to play in the new world when you see the new features. But of course if you just want to play in the old world, feel free! It'll stay open till users stop playing in it. JR is here to make users happy not upset users. WE at JR are doing this specially for you, no other server would do this but just remove it and not give a damn, WE -> I give a damn, I hope you stick around and have more fun at JR than ever before! Please be aware: Items, chests and inventories will not be transferred to the new world for a couple of reasons: If this happens the new map economy will be screwed up fully and it'll ruin the fun new economy we have lined up. Right now everyone has diamonds and they screw the economy, with the new system you won't be able to get everything right away it'll be more rewarding and challenging. New spawn: With the new map will come the new spawn, which will be /warp JRZone (Take a look right now Within spawn will be a 500*500 protection around JRZone, outside the JRZone grounds there will be houses and some nice information within them, NPC's will be found around JRZone giving interesting vital information. First join spawn: We will be making a new first join spawn that wont include a quiz making it easy for users to read the rules. Plugins Economy: Will be reset, giving users 100 coins static pricing will be added to the mall and we will re launch the mall with 5,000,000 coins. The static pricing will be highly tuned so it won't be glitchable. Voting: To make voting more exciting we will be starting to trace users who vote each month and users will have the chance (If they vote the most amount of times a month to earn Gold Membership for a two week period). Users who vote everyday will earn 100 coins for every vote, if you vote on all three sites it will be giving you 300 coins. Mob arena: We will be resetting the mob arena and building a new arena for users to play in, the old one is dark dingy and unused. War: We have had some exciting battles within war we are going to excite things with a big mix up of new arenas. Online Status plugin: JR will be having an online status page *status.jrcraft.net* to show the current system load and status of JRCraft. Weather: Weather will be switched on in survival Additional fun silly plugins! JR Craft will have more fun little silly plugins that keep us entertained Other World Changes RPG: A new RPG world with a story line will be released shortly after JRCraft 2.0 is released Hardcore: Hardcore will be reset so more griefing can occur Nether and Ender: Will be reset as well. Keep watching this post for information on JRCraft V2.0 for more information as it'll be updated here. - Rebel24 Enjoy! -

Hi guys, We are not allowing users to get free VIP via 400 - 1000 posts etc. anymore. Why is it paid now? For one, we need the money to sustain and support JR. Two, it would filter our abusive users that don't give a s*** and only want to spam compared with our great users that are willing to pay to help JR and enjoy their experience by making it better for everybody. Can I get a trial? You can get VIP for 7 days (one time only though) if you bring a friend, this is mean't to be a trial. But I want VIP and have no money? I'm sorry but this won't work. If you don't have the money you can't get VIP; there is never any free VIP membership given out except for month memberships that may be given out in events. I'd prefer if you didn't reply with a hate reply saying that it's unfair. It's only to support our running costs (over 80 euro per month for each server... Just a note to say, we have 2 servers now..) I hope you understand this is to help JR. Regards, Jamie

Hey Guys, JR Network is sponsoring quizcraft an upcoming Minecraft quiz kinda thingy Well yeah I'll let this video explain it more: http://youtu.be/fMPJ0waEOT4

Hey guys, As you know VIP membership allows you to do more things around JR. We are changing it slightly so you can only get perm membership when you get 1000 posts. (don't worry current VIP membership members who got it with 400 posts still can keep it!) Why's this happening? We are getting to many abusers spamming the forums to get 400 posts and as well its too easy to get. You can get a trial of 7 days VIP for Minecraft if you bring a person to the server but this is only valid once. After that you must purchase it (to help us fund the expenses for the server). Also new to the Minecraft VIP membership is the addition of a VIP build only world. Hope you understand why this is taking place. Regards, Jamie

Hopefully I will get more done soon, Regards, Jamie

Right as of now a turn of events. We can not allow the shop exploits to continue. So we have reduced the price of bowls and some other items which allowed many users to get a lot of money. This has got out of hand and everyone is taking advantage of the exploit. It's time to remember this is not freebuild its a survival server with a big amount of projects, we are not going to stop you getting money to build projects with but we are finding a better way than using exploits which allow you to get millions within 10 minutes. Awww come on, I need the money... Don't worry we have some cool stuff in mind Well 1 the user based shops are changing to chest shops in the next hour more info will be added on the wiki. We are not, stopping you make money but at the moment the cat is out of the bag with the exploited bowls. We are going to look in to the jobs system and make it better so you can make some money We are installing a lottery system soon so you can put some money towards a big wad of cash Me, tawny and Dcrown have come up with a fantastic idea that you may like (kept secret till we talk to the staff about it) Whats happening with the server? Well we at JR Network think that its a bit unfair that people can make millions in a couple of minutes. But we do want to encourage growth of the server and be reasonable to users. We want to help with your projects we are just coming up with a controlled method that will be easy to understand and easy to get help with We do not ever, want to take away your fun, We just want everyone to have fun with out using exploited items. Will I get punished if I used the Bowl or other exploits? No, we are not going to punish you guys since we were made aware of it, but we will as we have said be finding ways that are more inventive than just exploiting a shop *bug* as such. This will make it more fun and more entertaining in the long run. We are here for you guys, not for our profit. We actually don't have any profit from what we do. We fund it back into the website. Our aim in our website is to have the best community we have. That's why we want to hear how you feel, if you have ideas etc. As for the updates I have been updating a lot of the plugins as there has been major changes with them We will be updating craftbukkit to a fixed version for the chests today, hopefully normal chests will work properly again, If they do we will be putting a price on virtual chests now. Hope you understand why we have had to change this. Regards, Your friendly neighborhood Jamie

Hey Guys, Since we are growing we are changing some accounts that we host over to a new server that we own. This is to keep the main server stable with other things. If your account has been moved you shouldn't need to change anything as our DNS is clustered. The new JR Nameservers for the new server are: ns1.jrnetwork.info ns2.jrnetwork.info Regards, Jamie

Hey guys, As you may have noticed I have not been around the website for a while, or minecraft. So whats going on? basically, I have bought in to feale IT I own a 5% share of the buisness and I have been busy with my full time job there. Since they had websites that needed to be administrated I am transfering over100% of all the websites. Eg why I have been so busy. This is just to inform you I will be active like I was half a month ago when the website transfers are complete. Regards, Jamie

Hi Guys, I will be bringing in a new global group for the forum and minecraft etc, It's mean't for users wanting moderator rights, I will select helpers out for their helpfulness on the server. If you ask for it you will never get a chance. Whats the benefits and what do you need to do? Well #1 the benefits would include: 1) Get access to a small forum on the staff board dedicated to you so you can discuss users and get help from other helpers, moderators and admins. 2) You represent JR and will receive an email address that has @jrnetwork.net 3) Get on to moderator status if you keep up the good work and prove your self. What you need to do? 1) Support JR, advertise us and help us get more active 2) Advise and help users if they need the help 3) Follow, moderator, admin, founder and my instruction 4) Look and follow the rules at all times at http://rules.jrnetwork.net/ 5) Get help from your superiors if you need help 6) Remember you represent JR, if you disrespect users, don't follow rules etc. You will just lose your rank and never get it back. The new group will be added today at some stage, Regards, Jamie

Hey guys, We are slowly bringing points back in to the forum, they will be used for many different things. There will be another announcement with updates of what it will do etc. Soon. Also the arcade for the forum will be back soon too! Regards, Jamie
-
Since we have a nice website we are working on we are going to start posting news announcement at the site as well as the forum, This is to make things look better and we may only post forum news in the forum etc. We are looking to improve JR the best we can, any suggestions give us a bell at info@jrnetwork.net

Hey guys, I have been changing something's in our main site and I have also added an affiliates area to the portal. I will update all the toolbar tomorrow. I will also work upon the new upcoming blog for the JR staff, also a new blog will be hosted elsewhere than our servers so we can alert you if we have any server issues or otherwise problems. I hope you enjoy some of the upcoming changes. Regards, Jamie (sidenote: sorry peter, I will get you deathclock's details soon, have to find them out)

Hey guys. As you can see alongside the right I have included a whois online module which neatly shows people online on every page of JR. To improve JR's SEO Rating and to show users where content is copied from we have installed a special script which tracks copied data from JR and shows where it was pasted to us. This will also leave a linkback to the page it was taken from We are looking at more performance improvements server side but so far everything is playing out well. As you may have realised we are getting a lot more traffic. Hopefully the box at the side will verify that I have also removed the VIP link on the forum which went to the old subscription system. The old system has been removed for the new store system More dev to do later, Jamie
-
Hey guys, We have fixed the lag and memory issues with the server. We have gone through all the plugins and fine tuned them as well as changing essentials chat to hero chat. Allowing more functionality and a less laggy chat. The bukkit build was again updated to build 1000 and we have changed group manager to permissions! If you are shown as a tourist if you have registered already, please relogin ! Logging in should also now be way quicker and easier for all! As for hero chat commands look here: https://github.com/H...Chat/wiki/Usage Regards, Jamie
