oh my god.

 

I found out the problem.  It didn't like my server message.  I shortened it and it loaded

[SylenThunder]

Egads, how long was your server message?  I thought mine was long, and I've seen longer.

 

Sample:

<property name="ServerLoginConfirmationText"    value="[FFFFFF]By joining this server, you agree to follow the server rules.[-] 
  
    [FFFFFF]The Golden Rule applies.[-]    [FF0000]We're all here to have fun, so respect other players and staff.[-]

    [FFFFFF]Don't cheat.[-]    [ff0000]This includes all forms of cheating. You can get banned and that's not fun.[-] 
     
    [FFFFFF]Please speak respectfully in chat.[-] [ff0000]We shouldn't have to tell you that racist or insulting comments are bad. Our admins will use their judgement about how you speak in chat. If you are warned, stop or the next step is banning.[-]

    [FFFFFF]We are a PvE server.[-]    [ff0000]Friendly fire is off. If you manage to kill another player, sooner or later you'll be banned.[-]
     
    [FFFFFF]Don't show up with an offensive name.[-] [ff0000]They aren't allowed.  If we say it's offensive, just go change it or find another server. Also, names with special characters are not allowed for a lot of reasons. Just don't.[-]
