Forge Ahead Towards the Future!

Alo people.

As some of you may know or remember, the 10th is the day that we will transition the server to Gulliver Forged 0.14.1.  This is the reason I have encouraged all of you to install Gulliver Forged on your own system preemptively.

If you have already done so, you're all set and don't have to take any further action. Congratulations, you done good!  :)

However if you're still running Modloader, you have one week to convert to Gulliver Forged before you will no longer be able to log into Big Sister.  If you can't due to technical issues or installation uncertainties, please contact me so I can help you resolve them.  But one way or another, we will get this change in place, in order to spearhead the many exciting changes I've put forth in my Roadmap.  

As an additional reminder, please note that we will be changing our IP address as well to future-proof our server.  For your convenience, I'd recommend adding this to your list of Multiplayer Minecraft servers now, as it won't hurt you to keep it handy, and it will make the switch-over even more seamless....

In addition to the above major changes, we will also be going forward with the below changes as well...

• Our new forum will officially open by then, and will likely have all sticky posts and application material ready.
• I will open a new Minecraft Forum thread for Big Sister, which will serve as a backup for our new forum.
• Once both forums are up and running, we will discontinue use of Main's forum and MC forum thread to process whitelist applications for Big Sister.  If people post there specifically looking to be added into Sister, they will be kindly redirected to our new forum or our own Minecraft Forum thread.
• The moderator list will be reviewed, and inactive moderators and legacy ops will be removed from the Ops list.
• The first new Moderator selection process will begin starting on this date, with one nominee slated for a staff-level position.  The Commissioner selection process will not begin until the position itself is created; however, nominees have or will be informed of our intentions to promote them beforehand.
• Starting on this date, Moderators will be invited to register for Chat Console access.
• All documentation will be revised to reflect all the aforementioned changes.

Please note that these are the only changes we have planned for the 10th of January.  We will not be adding Forge Essentials just yet, as we need at least a week to ensure that all players have successfully converted, and our server is functioning properly on Gulliver Forged.  

If after that week things proceed smoothly, then we will attempt to install Forge Essentials and begin the process of securing server builds and creating our new positions.

Please wish us luck as we work towards ushering in this new era for the server!  :)

Thank you!
