Reduce downtime

Ok, seeing as the server is crashing more than usual, I thought you should try this:
in the server.properties file, change onlinemode=true to onlinemode=
this will not stop bug crashes but will alllow people to login faster and also when minecraft.net is down, reducing downtimes!
thanks

Mike has set up a system in which the people signed up for it can bring the server up anytime, I am one of those people. Seeing as I am mostly always on it shouldn't be a problem. But I will agree this could help if it actually works.

That doesn't work the way you think it does.

Another option is to remove ALL plugins and mods for the public server.

I know this would eliminate the mass editing using the wand that I have grown to love, but it would make the server alot more stable. Also, we wouldn't have people asking for stuff all the time if nothing can be given.

Turn the public server into legitimate game play just like the private SMP.

We'd still need a plug in to control grief.

Plus admins and Ops would still be able to give themselves items.
No plugins for grief control, No regions, Everything would end up like World3

Not the best idea, But maybe remove the plugins we don't use much?

Pretty sure we just have bukkit and lockette?

We have a overflow of plugins that we don't really use.
Keep the Grief protection ones, And special item locks for Chests-Doors.
Also multiworld.

Do we really need anything else?

what else do we have? most of the stuff we use is part of bukkit :\

Do /plugin

We need every one.
