I don't know why but I've only used that server for a few months, and felt somewhat of an attachment to it. I'm glad that it is getting replaced once it's gone, and in case you haven't heard the news, one of the maintainers of [157.7.214.47] has released a new server, which runs now:

Goodbye soon, multiplayer server [157.7.214.47], many memories were made, and many more will come.
