Now that I've got your attention, I was thinking that the minecraft map is getting really big and expansive. It's cool to have a ton of completed stuff on a server, but the server grows so fast that it's hard to keep up, and when something is done, we kind of move on and abandon whatever we were working on before.

What do you guys think of restarting the map every month?

Basically on the first of each months, we'd zip up the current map, make it available in an archive for anyone to download and play in single player (or for us to go back to later), and then start fresh with a new map.

It's just an idea, and I know a lot of people have invested a lot of time into their stuff, so I don't know if anyone would want to restart, but it's a thought. What do you guys think of it?

Edit: Kabob brought up a cool idea of just moving the spawn point, instead of creating a whole new map. This would allow people to warp back to the old spawn to look at/work on their projects, while encouraging others to start fresh in the new area.
