Happy New Year everyone! We wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2012 for what will, without a doubt, be an amazing year filled with lots of potential and enormous possibilities!
We hope you all had a fantastic New Years Eve and New Years, if you can even remember what you did.

So far, we like what we're seeing with this new system and feel that it will result in better code and quicker development through truly utilising the strength of the Bukkit community. We believe that this system has a lot of potential if used and maintained correctly and remain committed to doing so.
For those of you who would like to follow along with Bleeding development, we have a new sub-forum called Bukkit Preview where we'll be posting threads that describe each...
