Stout, with 1.3 now out I think it may be time to set up a new map.
I'd be all for starting over as I've gotten bored with this iteration

I would be interested in joining when the server updates to 1.3, assuming a new world is started.

I think most people have gotten bored. I have not seen another person on in like 2 weeks, and I check pretty regularly
I support the nuke idea, or anything that will get people back into the TD world

Stout,
Do NOT reset the server with a new seed. There was a week where there were at least 2 people on and 3 to 4 maybe every hour. I don't see how people can get bored with the world. I haven't played in two weeks because I was out of the country but when I left it I got to the point where I could finally do what I want.
The point of the game is to be a sandbox game and I don't see how players have reached the full potential of the game even if the server has just been around a while.
I mean although I'm really new, in the time I played I mined enogub to get and build/craft anything I wanted. I like to focus on automatic systems for food and rock so I can make big buildings. I have a hut and a platform to build all my contraptions on. That is a SETUP to what I am going to do. I am guessing players are just mining and building and that's it.
I have built so far:
-A simple working model or a larger push-button watermelon farm
-Cobblestone generator
-Sand generator
-Obsidian generator
-Half of a floodable wheat farm
Each of which took time to create and troubleshoot, not to mention gather supplies for.
My goal for all of this is to make a hugggge structure. I've already started building mini spheres figuring out patterns to make a huge sphere.
Do the other players know how to do this, or do they just build a home with a few redstone doors and that's it?
I've found some elaborate mining systems underground by some of our players, but there's so much more. Heck, I had to lay a crazy amount of track to get from the spawn to the platform in the island. I also have a hidden place and a few areas where I'm hoping mobs spawn.
The point is this game is all about exploration and creation. You have to do one to do the other, they are intrinsically tied. I don't see how you lose interest when you have ideas of what to do in the game. I have a list of things I want to do in the game on this server each of different difficulty and amount of time. I don't want to lose all the resources I've collected and been through playing this game. Please don't reset with a different seed.
If you have to have to, is there a way you can you save the game and we can play as a single player if we get the save file?
For a need seed, I suggest we really think about it and research then set up some geound rules to keep it interesting. I just don't see anythig wrong with this one, I am new though.

Pectus 
I was wondering where the hell you had been.
ETA: stout, when I try to connect, it says "Outdated Server" Please fix when you have time

this is the inherent problem pectus.
he now has to upgrade the server to fit with the new update. the new update will allow alot more.
I realize that you have done alot, but there has not been enough people on in weeks almost months.
setting up a new map with teams would make the game interesting.
creating a true economy in which each of the players depend on each other would be amazing.

If we stay in the world we have, I am just going to walk for a few days and set up shop where nobody has gone before 
Either way, the server needs to be updated before I can get on

i dont know if he can update the server without redoing the map, he may be able to.
with that said. i would like it to be back to 9-10 people online.
i will probably do the same and go build somewhere else. a large farm

I know servers can update without changing anything drastically and structures staying. The thing is is people need to get involved again.
I like the team idea and the economy idea...but I'm torn with losing the groundwork I laid out. I usually just give people my surplus items if they are starting out.
There needs to be incentive. Do some players on our server play with infinite items? Is there a way to force them to play the other way? Also if we disengage the Lockette feature and say that anythong goes it gets players back to protect their stuff and scatter further from the spawn.
Do you think there is a way to give us a save file of the server to keep our work though?
ETA
Ok stout. Saw your post below. Sounds good.

As long as 1.3 updates will work in the current world then I see no reason to reset. The world is big enough to venture out and build in other areas and explore those areas if you are bored with the current location.
ETA I will see what I need to do to update so people can get on. I will post the info when I figure it all out.

The server is set on 1.3 now but none of the old commands work until Bukkit updates and no idea when that will be.
ETA: You should be able to log in now

I would like to know this as well. If it's a creative server, that's one thing. However, certain players shouldn't have the ability to have unlimited materials on a survival server.
Posted on 8/2/12 at 8:51 am to Polar Bear
Only 3 of us can have infinite items and we are all admins. No one else should have accss to it.
Posted on 8/2/12 at 11:06 am to stout
Ok. Good news. Thanks for this. I can get on tonight at the earliest.
The only thing holding me back is lack of slimeballs. Fortunately I see some posters have discussed how to find some earlier.

One thing to keep in mind is that any new things that would spawn in 1.3 worlds will only spawn in places we haven't already explored. Emeralds are the main thing (and only thing?) added I think.

Well, then maybe we do need to Nuke the map.
