This is not Ban Appeal but i need to ask you what minecraft i need (1.2.5?),and why server is off for me?

You need version 1.2.5 and keep trying to connect the server has been glitchy and temperamental for a lot of users today.

Remember, when a stable version of bukkit for the latest Minecraft update is released Minetown will update the server.

This should be in support, not ban appeals. Also, when you open your MC client, dont click log in, click options. Then click "Force update"

Your client may be out of date, so you want to update to the latest minecraft version, which is 1.2.5.

Also, minetown may be doing updates at times, or restarts, so you may not me able to log in every time. Could you possibly post the message when you do try to log in though?

And another thing, make sure you are using the right ip.

IP should be mc.minetown.net

If that does not work, try dev.minetown.net

They will both take you to the main server.
