FORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alo people!

Great news!  After remembering I had to take care of some things Friday night, and thus not make the 9pm CST deadline for the Forge update, I just went ahead and did the update now (still technically on Friday).  So the Big Sister server is now officially a Gulliver Forged server, and I could swear I even see a slight performance boost for some reason.  :D

This of course means that Gulliver modloader users will not be able to connect to the Big Sister server, so if you have not yet done so, please use my guide below...

And remember that the server is now using the following IP:

bigsister.mcserver.ws

If you cannot install Gulliver Forged, or need some help and feel you can't reach us [for whatever oddball reason], you can also visit us at the Little Brother server, which for the month of January is running off of a Minecraft Development Snapshot for 1.8...

littlebrother.mcserver.ws

As for the specifics of the update itself, Mion and I have agreed to postpone the official Gulliver update that would have directly addressed the issue we had last Friday.  We have agreed to reschedule closer to the end of the month, in order to convert this into a proper update with new features, in addition to bug fixes, code cleanup and enhancements.

In the meantime, as an effective workaround with the existing version of Gulliver Forged, we are using a modified version of Forge that does not run a discrepancy check, and hence no longer requires JVM arguments to run.  Many thanks to Tarig for getting this done for us!!  Please leave ample love, respect and admiration for him here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/user/1904940-tarig/

I will wait for about a day to create the new MC Forum thread, to ensure that everyone has had a chance to log into Big Sister.  In the event you notice a bug or other inconsistency, please let me know on the forums as soon as possible!

Thank you and enjoy our new Forged server!  It won't be long before we have Forge Essentials up and running!  :D
