I have been growing them for sometime now and the server has 40-50 people, no luck. Its really annoying. I have 45 planted on soul sand, and nothing, no growth.

Any version of the above suggestions has me as gitty 16 year old girl the night of her junior prom. I used to be EXTREMELY active on l4g. I used to build super structures for LRG, and made them the legendary power house we remember. But for a long time, there has been no place for building anything other than water cubes. I would be thrilled to construct an empire (not lead, I have had enough of dealing with 12 yo scrubs)!!! You wouldn't believe some of the things I have made on other servers!! I am getting out the pen and paper, time to start the schematics. 

If the age on your profile's correct, you're sixteen. You come from a country that uses English as it's primary language. I'm struggling to see why you have such an aversion to punctuation? You acknowledge the existence of full stops (period) at the end of your soliloquy, but you have no love for his tailed cousin, the comma. I'm not asking for a literary masterpiece. Just some basic structure to your posts so they are presented in a way that is readable.
Any job you will ever apply for from here on out will require you to be able to write properly. So if not for us, do it for your future brah.

Could let people buy 2 testificate eggs for GC so that we can have access to them since people killed them all. Thanks

This is how I see it:
Short version (aka TL;DR): Agreed
Long version:
Personally I like glitches, they make trying to get into someones base more of a challenge, which makes it more interesting & exciting. It's starts to get boring when everyone has figured out how to make their base tnt proof... And if you can't get in a base, you can't claim and there pretty much no battle left whatsoever.
I understand some people have problems with these glitches not being morally acceptable, but:
Imagine The following 2 scenario's:
scenario A:
Imagine if the admins were to give out penalties to everyone who uses a glitch, this would become too much of a hassle. You have to define which are glitches & which are not, some might be considered a glitch by some, while the same one can be considered not a glitch by someone else. They'd have to keep track of players + it is very hard to get evidence. And what when a player accidently get stuck in a wall after enderpearling? He could walk or fall through the wall. Should he be penaltied? Can you prove it was an accident or not? No.. Annoying.. It would be too much of a waste of time for the admins. They got more important things to spend their time with (ACTUAL cheaters: people with cheat mods; performance issues; updates/patches/plugins; setting up safezones, building stuff; promoting; etc.)
scenario B:
- Than there is the other situation where everyone is allowed to use the same amount of 'tricks' as the next person: which is use any action which can give you a benefit (with the use of a vanilla minecraft), duping NOT included. This is a good setup. Everyone is pretty much equal, there should be no one with a disadvantage.
The only disadvantage you can have is the lack of knowledge (of glitches): for instance not knowing what a boat glitch is, how to use it and how to protect your base against it. So this is pretty much like the lack of knowledge of non-glitches : they also give you a disadvantage in the game.
(simple example: hitting someone while sprinting makes them knockback; so for instance you don't really need a knockback sword to knock someone of a mountain. If you don't know stuff like this you have a disadvantage => same goes with glitches)
I like scenario B a lot more to be honest. It might not sound 100% moral, but at least it makes it fair for everyone. To give another example: in scenario A there can be a case where you KNOW for sure someone glitched in your base, but you can never get evidence ('cause it's so hard), which cause a lot of frustration, demotivation, hate, annoyances, etc...
You could blame the lack of bukkit plugins & the developpers, you rage towards the the L4G admins, you could annoy , whine, rage, hate, bother jeb... But in the end you'll be sitting behind your pc waiting ... and nothing will happen. Except all those negative feelings will only grow bigger.
But in scenario A you have certainty that everyone is equal & has the same abilities as long as they are willing to learn them.
Soo, if we all accept this rule ("glitching is not against the rules -except duping-, go annoy jeb or a bukkit team member if you don't like it"), it will make all our gameplay experiences better.
So go ahead and glitch into the bases of whoever attacked you & kick their asses! See glitches as something new you can learn (like all those things you can learn on youtube like farm designs etc.), see it as a challenge.
Here's what I do: I test these things in single player. If you understand how a glitch works, you'll eventually learn how to make ANTI-glitch bases
Sidenote: I do want to point out, that no one here should not take offence in what I say. I'm not attacking anyone personally. I'm only giving my opinion. I say this because I sensed a flame war starting to emerge with some of the people who have posted here & I don't want to be in the middle of it. Just giving my opinion.
Happy minecrafting

WHOA WHOA WHOA Bro, Give us a break! First of all you knocked Juan and I out in a massive lag spike, that only affected us? So we sat there getting hit, unable to move or do anything, so of course we died fast. Second, you guys are good, so yea, battles with you are difficult and you kill fast and swift, nice, good job! But com'on cut us some slack here, You know I can hold my place in PvP (Remember back a few maps when I fought you a lot and we killed eachother a few times) and Juan is better than me. So Good Job, enjoy the Lot! May we fight again later with a more even playing field for both sides

AWESOME! Let the mining marathons begin! *cues epic montage music*
Thanks for cleaning up this server
