Some of the features that the new program will improve alone are;

• OptiFine (OptiMine, OptiFog, OptiTick) integrated
• HD fonts and BetterGrass integrated
• HD textures support integrated
• Sign rendering performance improvements
• Biome water colors (watercolor.png usage)
• SetRemainingAir/SetMaximumAir render correctly
• Chunk caching
• Removes F3 coordinates and mob names (can be enabled with AllowVisualCheats=true in Spout’s config)

Now, keep in mind that like minecraft has been previously, this is in the alpha stage so there will be bugs.  But for now, it is a step in the right direction.

EDIT:  Keep in mind that the Server will be showing as Offline, or Unable to Connect in the Server Select window, this is one of those bugs, the server is still up…

Ok, most of you will never see this new section (without logging out) but there is a new area in the forums, where those that signed up, but haven’t had their accounts activated can post.  What this is for, is when you register, your account will remain inactive, untill approved by one of the admin.  So everyone who signs up now will need to go to this area, and read the instructions.  Really its just a simple post that asks who you are, how you heard about the site, and how (if) we know you.

So, everyone will need to remember that when your telling your friends about our website, be sure they know that if they do not post in this section within 24 hours, they automatically get rejected from the forums.  On the second attemt, its a 5 day ban.  Third attempt, its perma ban (until they email me).

One other thing, there has been a lot of spam being directed to our website, and for the time being, I have disabled registration on both the forums, and the blog, to alleviate this, so if you get anyone asking why they can’t register, just have them email me and I will get them registered on the forums.

They found out that she has kidney and heart falure, and water in her lungs, and she may have had a stroke about a month ago. They said she wouldn’t make it through the end of the week, and they are going to put her to sleep tomorrow afternoon.

I cried for about 20 minutes, and am still not very much in a happy mood. I can imagine that tomorrow will be no different. I took Jake over there to say goodbye one last time, and took some pictures of he and Tigger. I know that pets are just that, but I think out of all of them I have had, I am taking this one the hardest. So, here will stand a memorial to Tigger, one of the best (not the brightest) dogs ever!

Well if you look to your right, —>

You will see a Navigation bar, among the things there, I would like to point out various links, and a new ‘Pages’ feature, this will allow you to find various things around the website and forums, with ease and quickness. Also, please not that Jeremy has taken the liberty of showing us what is really going on over seas in the military. Tax dollars put to good use there buddy! lol
