Sorry pplz, but for the moment the server is down for security. This is because of the recent crisis involving Notch's server going down, hence shutting down name verification, and now anyone joining the server is asplode. This is expected to last until Monday.
For those interested, this is what happened:
Notch released the update and so many people tried to download it that it put lotsa pressure on the server and unfortunately the new version contained a bug that crashed some peoples' computers to a gray screen and so lotsa people tried downloading again or sending messages to Notch or nothing (because their computers were crashed) and also lotsa trolls and flamers started trolling and flaming Notch and all this meant that Notch had to disable everything on the server ever while with his other hand fixing the grayscreen and with his other hand responding to all the trolls and flamers and all this while his local time was 2:00 am and all people can do is complain because the paticular bug they wanted fixing wasn't fixed or that there were more bugs and all this equals server headsplosion and so there is no server today *cries*
