Next Update? (Vote on Creative or Not!)

Next update is the server planned to be creative again? I'm eager to play with everyone :D

Please vote below if you would rather have SMP or Creative while we wait for bukkit to update. Please refer to Zedwicks post before making a decision

Update and have Creative? Or SMP and do not update?

We did wait a considerable mount of time before switching to creative, though. So whilst we were in creative for around a week last time, we spent (I think) more than that in 1.4.5 after the update to 1.4.6. So it would likely be between a week to 3 weeks in creative, as opposed to that time in survival just without updating our clients.

Take the above into account when choosing your side to the argument :)

I second the idea of making it creative again and have fun with the update before the server is able to move forward with the plugins.

(Though I quite liked having us in creative following updating to bukkit. It allowed me to add in some limited protection whilst waiting for our usual plugins to be updated. It also allowed me to test our plugins on a world we don't necessarily feel so invested in, plus a few alternatives, without worrying over loss or corruption. So a combo of time in survival without updating, with time in creative once bukkit has updated, is still an option too.)

Considering people clearly have different opinions on weather or not the server should temporarily be creative I decided to make a poll. If you want your opinion represented in the poll you can go ahead and vote anonymously. This poll may or may not help to determine the servers outcome, I don't know. I made it purely out of my curiosity to see how many people thought what in the matter. Thank you for taking to time to click one of the options. :D Please don't try and cheat it or anything

I find creative a little boring after awhile. Even last time I was running out of things to build. I'd rather wait on the update and play in our normal world. That is my view on it.
