You're looking at the MInecraft Reddit Server at the end of its Alpha life. The server had two phases I believe, 1 that was hosted until the end of 2011, and another that I believe was hosted to the end of 2010. This is the newer one. I have the the earlier phase of the server as well, but it is on a hard drive I am having trouble recovering. I will post that one too when I either recover it or find it online.

It is honestly relaxing to just walk around the entire world and look at all the structures people have built. It is weird seeing it empty. It is like going through a large city with evidence of people living and building everything, but with no one present.

Recommended use Beta 1.3_01 I believe it is best to experience this world in old beta. While it was technically ended in like Beta 1.0.2 or 1.1, I would do Beta 1.3_01 so you have access to beds, and you can still take advantage of the ladder skip glitch that was not fixed till 1.4.
