i agree Justin. on rare occasion, the server kicks me (i get end of stream) good thing we have this grace period... but there were rare times when the grace just ignored me when i DC...
I think the 60 second grace is a keeper. I used to have connection problems and I'd be annoyed if I could never get back on.
I think there is something wrong with the Utopia server, whenever I get on it just crashes my minecraft.
Try to close MC and wait a few and come back. We just restarted it a bit ago to add a few updates. I think I see a few in there now.
