Well, I get that we still haven't made the push to drop 1.8, but seriously. Four versions.



We, as a server and community, won't be able to advance without advancing the server to the latest Minecraft version.



There needs to be some development for a 1.9+ related minigame so the community's population can shift to a newer version. Otherwise the server will eventually hit a roadblock due to the stretched out compatibility over an insane number of versions.



Make steps to change 1.9+ pvp to be as close to 1.8 as possible, something which makes the jump less painful. But please, at least make some public step to drop 1.8.
