It has come to my understanding that the minecraft 1.7.10 server has been re-added and the minecraft 1.8 server was removed. Upon speaking with you Zodz, you said that it was removed because nobody played it for 6 days. Well incase you weren't aware, that 6 days before, everyone on the server was griefed by someone who logged onto our accounts.
I would suggest that you re-add Minecraft 1.8 until 1.8 is either added to craftbukkit, or it is able to have mods added in general. Now obviously there comes the risk of us being griefed again. The only way to fix this completely would make it so that the server can only be played on by people that have fully purchased minecraft and don't play on a hacked client.
Minecraft is currently $26.95, so if anyone is really desperate, you could pay me in RSGP and I will buy the client for you. But hopefully it wouldn't have to come to that. So If it is worth the risk to leave it so cracked clients can play, and the culprit is found and IP banned, then don't make it "legit client" only.

That being the case, there is also the potential that Minecraft 1.8.0 will be added to CraftBukkit, and we will be able to play it. I would suggest then, if you decide to keep your current 1.7.10 server, that a second server for 1.8.0 is created. This server will have minimal mods on it, and will be as vanilla as possible. That means no spawning in blocks, no spawning in buildings, no world-edit, etc.
Below I will post mods that I think the server should only posses in ensuring it stays as Vanilla as possible.
Acceptable Mods on a new 1.8 Server
- Password on your account when you log into the server.
- Chest protection.
