@CamS99584 boy it sure was. but now we have turtles. it's been worthwhile

I fondly remember running a cooked porkchop business on my friend's smaller SMP server by slaying pigmen in the Nether for hours, hoarding every golden apple I could find, and then eventually moderating the server and creating some pretty cool shit with WorldEdit.

Then iCanHasGrief came along and trashed the entire server. It was for the best, really, since hosting had has its toll on my friend and he was absolutely sick of it. But as much as I long for the days of Beta Minecraft again, I gotta admit there's some pretty neat stuff to mess around with in the most recent updates.
