The only advantage seems to be some ugly freakin' trees, and colored cloth. Flowers will still spawn, so you can still have your red and orange. I guesss squid will spawn regularly as well, so you can still have black.

Lapis Lazuli can just be mined from the replaced chunks. Honestly, it seems like way too much of a hassle restarting the whole server.

I saw sveral people today panicking that we'd reset the server, and thought about leaving Minetown forever. A reset would mean the loss of factions, many landmarks, and a whole lot of time and effort. Plus the danger of having glitches in the saving and carrying over process. Picking up say Espero would leave a lot of room for error, with dissastrous results.

I agree to reset unused chunks.
