From the way things looks now we may not be using Bukkit in the future. Any progress on Bukkit has been halted due to legal reasons, this and the majority of the staff leaving has caused a new project called Sponge to gain a lot of popularity. Thousands have already decided that they will be using Sponge over Bukkit once it is complete, and we most likely will be too. This might mean a bit of waiting for the important plugins to be ported over to Sponge which may take a little while, but we will still be running 1.7.5 until that is all done.
Good to see that there is hope ::)
Means I'll be playing again.
Minecraft is SPONGE WORTHY ::)
