Okay everyone, we finally did it. We purchased the dedicated machine so we can host more of our servers. The cost is 174.99 a month and we really need your donations. If you enjoy the servers or are a member and can help support them then please do. A few of us are paying the majority of the machine but that's really all we can afford. So please do what you can to help out.

If you have any ideas for servers, please post them for us to read. We will try to get the bones server and a 1.6 server up and running first. Depending on how quickly the process goes, we will get them all up with in a few days or so. We will get the game panel up and running as soon as possible for the members. Bear with us on that issue. I hope everyone enjoys what we are doing and helps support it. Thanks everyone.

This is the link to clanpay (I believe), where you can donate. serialp0rt I'm sure will verify that.

We'll be editting our server list as well as posting announcements as new servers come online.

okay, so they should be sending me the welcome email very soon telling us that the server is ready for us to use. At that point me and Anubis will start setting up the servers. We will do as many as we can handle right now, but we also want to see what the machine can handle. So if you have ideas for servers then please let us know about it. We want to give the community what it wants now that we are capable of it.

okay everyone it has officially been finished. Now me and Anubis just have to create our servers and put in all the files. So we will have servers today I hope. At least something to start with.

I'll try to get started with this as soon as I get back from class (probably around 3pm EDT) and then serial will be around to help me at about 7pm.

They gave us the most ridiculously un-formatted machine they could think of. I'm surprised they even bothered installing the operating system on it. They didn't even configure the server to use the multiple IP addresses they assigned to us, it was so bad. This is going to probably take a few days just to get it set up to handle a HLDS server, plus then the amount of time actually needed to install the servers.

xfactor. Apparantly it's standard practice for them to give their customers completely unconfigured machines, but we told them that was just absurd service from a company we just paid 180 dollars to. This morning they agreed to have their "level 3 unix technician" (whatever that is) look at the machine and help us configure the things we still can't get right. So hopefully that won't take too many more days before we can get it loaded. I have the pub machine all configured, but we just can't use it.

yeah, i used to have 2 servers from xfactor, but since they where 2 separate (cz private and cz pub) they where cz ready, and didn't have to configured, but they had to be restarted a lot.... and level 3 unix technician means a technician withat least 2-3 years experience with unix/linux OS. if that answers the questions

okay so after their engineer looked at the machine I do believe nearly everything is fixed. Anubis is at work right now, as am I, so she can't respond with the one or two issues that still need to be fixed. However, they have added the new kernal so we should be able to host our stuff now. We will start setting things up tonite when we get home. Anubis does have some homework this week that is important so I might be doing the majority which just means it will be a little slower. We will have it done though. Thank you everyone for being patient.

Wow, that was quick. I will take a look when I get home and see if everything has been fixed.

IF IT'S FIXED, then our pub is ready! I already uploaded all the files to it and whatnot. So I will post here with that information IF IT'S FIXED. Lol. I will keep that "if" in there because I don't know.

Alright, most of the problems are fixed, the only thing we still have to fix are the IP addresses. So we're going to be getting our servers up and running, and then we'll probably finalize what IP we run it on tomorrow.

Tentative IP addresses: We'll probably put the machines on these IP addresses. They are not quite up yet (still waiting to hear back from their tech guy), but once they're up we'll get them running on these IP addresses:

Czero pub: 64.79.103.75:27015
Czero Bones: 64.79.103.75:27016
Multimod: 64.79.103.75:27017
Gun Game: 64.79.103.75:27018
Czero private: 64.79.103.75:27020

1.6 pub: 64.79.103.76:27015
1.6 private: 64.79.103.76:27020

We'll post IPs for other servers as we decide on them/make them.

just a friendly reminder for everyone to get their donations in for this month. I would hate to do all this work and have to cancel it because everyone forgot their donations. you still have a few weeks to get it in, but I will cancel it if I am forced to pay much more than I have promised I can pay. so everyone please do what you can.
