Hey guys,
It's Matt, the owner of MCFun Central.
First off, I've finally got a (estimated) date for when MCFun Central will be mcfuncentral.com!
So, what's been happening to the domain for the last two weeks?
As I mentioned in the last post, since I'm in Romania right now and I'm using my mom's credentials to purchase the domain, GoDaddy thinks I'm a Romanian hacker who obtained my mom's personal information. Keep in mind that she's not here, so that makes it even worse (yes, I was sent to Romania alone as an unaccompanied minor). It makes sense. My mom is using the card online at home, at the grocery store, restaurants, etc. etc. and all of a sudden someone's using the same card to buy something from Romania. While this is really frustrating for me, I'm still happy all these sites (it's not just GoDaddy, Beatport is actually the only site that doesn't) take these extra security measures. Nevertheless, because of this, I will not be able to purchase anything until I arrive back in America, and even then I have to go through all the identity solving crap that I started here. The flight back is on July 7th, separated into one two-hour flight and one eight-hour flight with waiting in between, so I probably won't be back until July 8th. Then I have to get used to the jet lag. Luckily, the way back to America is easier than coming to Romania, so I'll just sleep for 14 hours and I'll be good. Then I have to resubmit the identity and call GoDaddy. It's a lot to do, and it mostly involves my personal life. With all of this, I don't think we'll get the domain until July 11-12th. We're also having problems with our sub-domain after we purchased the Dedicated IP, but that shouldn't be too long to be fixed. For now the only IP to connect to MCFun Central is 23.235.224.10 . I know, it sucks, but we'll get it, and it's the first step to making MCFun Central the best it can be!
Aside from all the problems, we've got some great news too! Shannon (stan5370) has become an admin instead of a moderator, and he definitely deserves to be an admin! He has experience with programming and we are sure he will help in the new MCFun Central!
Daniel has also moved up from the Admin rank, and has taken The5Llamas's place in Co-Owner! Daniel is the co-founder of the MCFun Servers, so why should he not be the Co-Owner of MCFun Central?
If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments about the MCFun Servers, leave us a comment! We read all of our comments and try our best to do what others want for MCFun Servers!
I'll keep you posted on everything!

MCFun Central - More Domain Change News
MCFun Central has just received a dedicated IP from MCProHosting. This means our sub-domain no longer exists, and you will have to connect via 23.235.224.10 (no port) for a few days until we finish changing our domain.
As I said before in the last post, we are working to get an actual domain from GoDaddy and implement it to our server so that instead of using an MCProHosting sub-domain or a long IP, you would be able to connect via mcfuncentral.com or mc.mcfuncentral.com. However, I am currently in Romania, and I bought the domain with American information. Because of this, GoDaddy is taking extra security measures and asking for a photo of our identification and a picture of our credit card, just to make sure I'm not a Romanian hacker who got access to our identification.
As I said in the first sentence, we have received our Dedicated IP from MCProHosting. Right now, this means good news and bad news: the good news is it is the first step into connecting to MCFun Central via mcfuncentral.com. If we had not purchased a Dedicated IP, you would have to connect via mcfuncentral.com:25576. A Dedicated IP removes the server's port. The bad news about this is since GoDaddy is taking these extra security measures and my GoDaddy account is currently locked, you will have to connect via 23.235.224.10 (with no port) for a few days until we provide proper identification and the account is unlocked. Even then, we still have to wait approximately 24 hours for them to check the identification, and then we still have to wait another 48 hours for the domain change to take place. Man, domain changes are hard. Here's a tip: if you're going to change your server domain to a domain from GoDaddy (or any domain-selling company, for that matter), make sure you're not on vacation out of your country, and make sure you don't do it as your server is starting to rise.
I'll make another post when our domain has finally taken place, and when you will finally be able to connect via mcfuncentral.com. Thanks for reading this post, and thanks for playing on the MCFun Servers!

MCFun Central - Domain Changes
Hey everynone.
It's Matt, the owner of MCFun Central.
While MCFun Central is back up, we are going through a long and difficult process of changing our IP so that you wouldn't have to connect with 23.235.224.10:25576. It's true that we do have a subdomain for that, but I feel it would be easier to connect via mcfuncentral.com instead of mcfuncentral.mcpro.co. I like advertising MCProHosting, since they are definitely worthy of being on highway billboards, but as MCFun Central is growing, I would like to have an actual domain so that it looks more professional and doesn't appear to newcomers that we are noobs that are clinging on to MCProHosting. Long story short, we want our domain to be more independent and professional as the server itself is becoming more independent and professional. More news about this will come as we finish getting the IP.
Because of these domain changes, you may or may not have trouble connecting to the server. If you do, the server isn't down, it's just the domain change taking place. I've never done a domain change before, but I expect it to last an hour or two, maybe even less, if you are having trouble connecting to the server.
Thank you everyone who still reads this blog for being a great player on the MCFun servers! We have a lot more things planned for 2014, so keep reading for more info on the MCFun Servers!
