I think of myself as miber lite.

Really though, it was just a random name I picked.

As you can see from my post count I'm really just a long time lurker.

I'm really tired of dealing with the server anyway, so honestly it doesn't bother me if people stop playing on it.

The constant updates and tweaking are really a hassle I don't care to deal with it. It's not even about the money. I don't even play that much myself.

If I could turn it over to someone, I would. I probably could, somehow, if anyone is interested.

With gameservers.com, you can setup "ClanPay" that uses PayPal, and it doesn't ever go to an individual, it goes straight to the server, so there's no scam involved. The server is $35 a month for 24 players.

If someone is interested, I can say now I don't want to be an admin, and I don't want to be tech support. If I get rid of it, I'm getting rid of it. You'll have to find your own quick download server, as well, as I'm using a friends.

Drant · 11-12-2007, 07:14 AM

I feel your pain Bristlebane. Anything we can do to help keep this server going is good in my book.

For those of your complaining about class restrictions do yourself a favor and go onto a public server that is playing a floodplane map. The map only has one choke point and is a engineer and sniper paradise. I've yet to see anyone win on that map. Between that and the instant respawn servers, it's hard to find one that is worth staying with.

PerritoBites · 11-12-2007, 07:43 AM

Yeah the class restrictions are pretty good, although sometimes I do wish to play the class when it is full... but that just means I have to wait a bit to play it hehe. The only thing that is wrong with the server right now is that we need more people to play in it! The server has been my favorite one to play in (regardless if I actively read the forums or not), but everybody suddenly stopped playing last week. People need to start playing again!

Btw, thanks for admin... Oh and @admin didn't do anything hehe... @menu did though.

Oh, weird. They must have changed it.

I'd hate to see it go but I would say that you shouldn't do things you don't enjoy. That's the reason I don't do these things, as I love playing games on computers but I hate repairing/maintaining them anymore. If/when it does blink off the list of favorites forever I'll switch over to Believe's server. I have noticed that the list of regulars has switched over the last few weeks (excluding a handful of people).

Hatorade · 11-12-2007, 08:14 AM

I would take it over but can't afford to. I like all the tech support side of it. Still don't know what I am gonna name my map. I am thinking along the lines of a inside joke for FOH community. Like Jolly Rancher or Highlighter Heaven. Maybe TOGTFO

Also after testing the map I have 4 ways on each side to get to the center of the map. Two on normal ground one roof top and one under ground. Should lead to a massive choke point but give enough room inside the choke point to not be a suicide rush.

If that doesn't work I will open up the sides of the maps to get in and out. I am currently working on some type of switch mechanic to where people defending can hit a switch to briefly open one of two doors in the center for way in that has more cover. You can't hit the switch and make it through the door. I am hoping to promote team work with it.

Yeah, I think a lot of people just played too much and got bored of it.

Yeah, that happened to me, but since I can't play on Wends/Thurs (have to go to the other side of my country, thats a 3 hours drive, and stay there overnight ) I get to take obligated breaks... which helps a lot

Sadly, most of my RL friends quitted playing. WTB new friends!

Its just in a small slump it will never go away and will only get more popular with the release of mods like nades new maps etc.

Jayblah · 11-12-2007, 10:15 AM

Bristlebane,

Just wanted to let you know that I fully intend to resume playing once my internet connection is fixed. Playing TF2 right now is an exercise in frustration due to my connection. I expect to receive my new modem sometime this week and hopefully all these issues will be resolved.

Drant · 11-12-2007, 10:20 AM

I really think that once a few quality maps are released that the numbers will pick back up. Currently, the maps all follow the same thread. I know when I turn a corner that chances are good that I'm going to run into a sentry or a pyro or when that gate opens the first person through is going to blown into bloody chunks.

Most of my playing goes like this.

Spawn as demoman, run out into the open...get sniped.

Alright, try it again, run out into open, get sniped...shit.

Fuck it, spawn as spy, run out into open make it half way and get burned by pyro...oh well try again.

Make it all the way this time, take out sniper, get raped by sentry that I didn't see....YAY!

pivot · 11-12-2007, 10:26 AM

I personally love the FOH server. It has great players and a great connection for me.

I would however also like to suggest a map voting procedure, where, for example, every 3rd map may be voted on (if this is possible?). I played on a server with all custom maps, and tbh they rocked hardcore. One was the original TFC well map, which may not be super hard to come by, but god I had a blast.

Believe · 11-12-2007, 05:34 PM

I havn't played too much on my server since CoD4 came out. But I've handed out admin to a few people, and members get it filled everyday, so it's working out pretty well.

Bristlebane, I'd throw up your donation link, and if people want to keep it going they can donate, if it doesn't reach the amount needed just let it cancel (you really don't seem to interested in keeping it going, but if others will foot the bill, meh). $35 bucks is really nothing for people playing on it a few hours a day.

Also, I would create a separate admin account on GameServers.com for a few admins so they can restart the server when there is an update so that you don't have to every time.

Drant · 11-13-2007, 06:45 AM

Nice turnout last night. I see that we do have a few maps in rotation though that turn into a ghost town with all the people that leave. Nice to have the voting option in use now.
