It is now time to be completely and brutally honest with you, our beloved community.
We were hacked again last night, and the new I'm about to bring will upset a large majority of you:
World 2 was deleted. This will upset you to know because while the builds that we world edited over still exist in World 1, all of the items you may have transferred over the past week were also destroyed and are unrecoverable.
This brings me to my next point: how many of you actually want to continue? We love this server (more than I can bear myself), but we have come to the realization that while we can keep mending the damages, the server is going to keep being hacked. Whoever is attacking us has some sort of grudge for whatever reason and they aren't going to stop.
We want your brutally honest opinion here. We're taking a vote. How many of you would like us to stay up and running and repair the damages knowing we will probably be hacked countless times again, and how many of you would like us to shut down?
Reply here or on the server please. I am online now.

I definitely want the server to stay up! It makes me sad that it has come to this! But surely, there must be some alternatives??

I want the server to stay up.... On one condition... Get a new ip, then we can start anew

GET A NEW IP AND WE WIN Please give us some money like 5 million and we can start again. Most of us have full diamond armour so diamond tools and iron armour would be good.
Thanks and please keep the server up and running.

In my personal opinion I, and most probably a large majority of the rest of the community, can somewhat understand that shutting down the server seems like a valid option; however I believe that by shutting the server down the hackers would have won the battle metaphorically speaking. I feel that as a community we should stand together and perhaps weigh up alternate options to assure that we stick together as it would truly pain me to see us torn apart once more - although I do come from a perspective as purely a community member and this may not be realistic as we must also consider the needs of the staff and consider how much time, effort and countless hours have already been put into the effort to keep the server running. I simply ask that the decision be made wisely and produce the best possible outcome for all parties involved, and on behalf of the community I thank you for everything you have done so far and despite all our moaning occasionally, Im sure we all appreciate the work of the staff despite the hardship entwined with the server. Thanks, -Sam

I'd like a new map and a new ip, but keep ranks. I would never want to see ht shut down, so we should definitely keep it up. However, I'm not sure I'm quite willing to start from recruit again, but if it comes to that, I'll be okay with it. Thanks for all the work. tbozc

Thank you for asking our opinion regarding this matter.. I've shared and motivated my decision on the server. In my opinion, the server should be shut down for the following reasons: #1 It's not fair, and rather selfish to expect the staff to clean up the mess after every hack / hacking attempt on this server. Changing an I.P. won't solve anything in my opinion. the person responsible for these attacks clearly holds a grudge against HT, and no offence, even a dummy could google any new I.P. address we'd get. #2Furthermore, this discussion is not about winning and/or losing against some "hacker" (I still prefer the term script kiddie, since it's highly unlikely that any hack / security leak they've used is due to their own work, but based on other people's research and findings, but that's a whole different discussion and irrelevant to this one). what has to be done here is a proper "business" evaluation.... is the investment (the time staff has to invest to keep this server operational) worth the return (fun factor and providing an environment where mine craft players can hang out and socialise/build?) at this time I have to say it isn't. sometimes you just have to be realistic with your expectations.... and keeping this server operational just isn't realistic. Trust me, I've had a lot of fun on HT... the community helped me out a lot during my bad time last year... and in the end, I ended up with the best girlfriend in the world.... and my soon to be fiancée . I'd like to thank all the staff (past and present) for all the countless hours they have invested in this server. We've all had a great run.

I've recently found Haven Terrace and it's been really fun playing on this great server. I would be sad to see such a great place and community to go away.

In response to Mau, I completely agree with you. Haventerrace has literally been my home for almost a year, and the community is truly special. I've witnessed you and Jess, and so many other great things that have happened. To be honest, the worst outcome would to lose the community, not our map, or even our server. Mau..you've been a really good role model for me, which made me see how I should act and conduct myself with other people. Thanks so much for the memories. tbo

Hannah, I think that even though this server has been through hardship, we should not give up. This will give them the satisfaction of victory… I do think we should reset the ip, and everything else, we will keep being hacked.
Show the hackers who's stronger.

No, now that i have successfully destroyed the server you all know and love completely i am very appeased. I am very pleased to see all your hard work go to shite, and that you have been too stupid all along to realize that i have held the grudge of you banning Kedogo8 all this time. I was especially happy to see the death games was deleted since you asshole admins spent so much time creating it. It is pitiful to see you idiots mumbling and whining so much over a game made for toddlers and how this "community" effects you so much in real life xD. I hope you have fun rebuilding your server from nothing, and have a good day.
~ Your friendly neighborhood Parrot

Parrot I'm surprised you would do this… and did kedogo even accept this? does she want it also?
