I understand you're trying to help out the community as a whole, and that's great. I'm not knocking you for that at all. I just think you may be trying to bite off more than you can realistically chew.
I do have a server... three boxes in fact, about to add a fourth next week. I'm running two cs:s ports, one dod:s, two BF2 ports, a couple cs:s private match ports, and I'm about to add a private bf2 and dod:s port, and leaving room for quake 4 when it comes out next month (here's hoping q4ctf is worth a damn). Thx for the offer, but I'm busy enough maintaining my own lil community and making sure things run smooth with it. Good luck to ya guy, I really hope things work out the way ya want em to. - K2 http://www.hardfought.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zachary Doherty Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 4:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] CS:S Admins, a call to arms! -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I wouldn't call it doomsday, and this is not for me. I already have asked 2 server farms(working on third) and they both said that they would be willing to commision the idea on their servers. PCGamers is enstating more admins(however many join the movement) onto their severs. I am not trying to help myself, but I am trying to help the community. If you have a server, I would really appreciate it if you joined the effort to fight off hackers.
