Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

Two additional notes:
1. Optifine now has "block graphic transitions" So now, for example, glass would look like one solid piece, with no borders.
2. I really want a bullet point list option for this forums. Hard to include sub-things, shift numbers, and give it consistent spacing.

Learn to forums. And *Where
There is a mosscow thread. I check all the recent updated threads. There is also a private message thread. I notice when I get a message.
If your offtopic message can be on topic somewhere else, then don't' post it.
To keep this stuff relevant, can you either just delete your post or delete it and repost it in the mosscow thread? Not being mean, just being a bit ocd.
But yes. I think I took the piston from it anyway.
I almost want forum admin powers, just to try to organize this. While I normally am not that organized, forums are relatively simple, because you have so many places, each with their own topics. But time and responsability. Sigh.

KITTEH!!! =^_^=
Seriously though, I'll be active again when 1.2 comes out. I just can't give up my kitties, I've turned into a crazy cat lady on my friend's beta server.

Yeah, about that kind of stuff...
Been waiting for the weekend to post a thread about it, but I might do it here
I have been thinking of making a small hamachi server running the snapshots on my home computer. Creative worldedit. Reason: Test out new features, and start building my adventure map traps and large builds while waiting for the world height buff. Also derp around, and lets me import any maps I want.
But, just look at all these things. This is insane. Jeb is listening to everyone, then making stuff even better than expected. Then again, I am more of a dog person than a cat person. I wonder if you guessed that.

Wow, 1.2 looks freaking AMAZING! CATS AND FIRE CHARGES FTW! I can't wait to use my ship's dispenser cannons 
.
The village updates and zombie sieges also look very interesting.

HOLY CRAP, did you see the stats on the rare item drops for Skeletons, Zombies, and Zombie pigmen?! I'm going to go on a Pigman killing spree again!
Also, it would be pretty awesome if Zombies not only could break down doors (like they will in 1.2) but if there was a game mode involving zombie survival (exploring a world wrecked by zombie apocalypse). That's just what I think.

Zombie door breaking is only on hard cosyn. What do these toggable Lights look like? Certainly will make mob spawners easier to build.

LOL depending on the forum, admin work can be easy, but that is if the crowd is well controlled and knows what they are doing. My forum is slow, so there is not much to really do, other than upgrade, add emoticons, add posticons, update the software, etc etc.... Have you ever done it before? (not that I am looking to hire you on... lol just want to know now, since you mentioned it)
More on topicness!
"Toggleable lights"
Now that should be interesting.... This makes me think of having a power grid, if the lights need redstone. If this becomes the case, Kura I may need to hire your skills... if not, I may get by on my own. Never been good with wires... only lumber, cement, concrete, dry wall.... wait.... never mind... lol! But seriously, that would be fun if they worked on wires! Can't wait!!!
This song describes me and my past.... this is, who I was
Cause I was a pharisee,I never saw my need for grace;
Then your love came to me stood next to mine, and I saw that I was poor.

This is what was introduced in today's prerelease. I know some of its been mentioned already
Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)
Multi-player light calculations do no longer cause affected blocks to be transmitted to the clients, instead the clients will recalculate the light on their own
Villagers will repopulate villages based on how many houses there are available
Some nights in villages will be worse than others…
Added a redstone-controlled light source
Decreased chance for the rare mob drops
All animals use the new AI system now

why do you want this... it's not like stone brick where it's extremely rare to find. There is ample amounts of nether brick almost everywhere you look in the nether. Not at all hard to get your hands on. Netherbrick Half slabs on the other had would be nice... Let them spend their time on things we don't have rather than things we already have

I love this update. So much being improved
and "Anvil" is going to be amazing.
And yes, I would like a recepie for brick. Maybe cooking netherrack?
The rare item drop thing is so idiotic. I really really hope it gets removed.
