Shantara and I decided to invest our money in a new server.

You can see it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6874790804

Tyan Transport GX28 Barebone Server w/Power supply
Rackmount accessory Kit for easy installation
2 AMD Opteron 285 w/Heatsinks (4 Cores)
4GB DDR400 ECC System Memory
Optical Drive 24X Slim CD-ROM
2 HD-W740GD Western Digital Raptor

Total: $3,447.84 USD

The fundamental problem is this: The first word we learn as children is NO. From that point forward society teaches women that saying no isn't polite, and society teaches men to respect those who wont take no for an answer.

Ohhhhh NICE Druid!!!!

What does that mean???

The two servers will be separated and will run the same invasion game with the same gameplay?
The new server will only be allowed for UT2007?

Or Disastrous Consequences will be switched by the two servers?

Wow!!! That's unbelievably thoughtful to buy another server for the DC community. You both go above and beyond all expectations!!! You are two of the most kindhearted people I have ever met, your efforts are immensely appreciated. So thank you for this and everything that you do to make DC such an enjoyable experience!

The intent is to swap the current production server for this one after some trials at our home...


Therefore a nodefest may be in order to properly test out the box. Plans are in the works for that a week from this Saturday. Please stay tuned.

Hey.. This sounds kinda exciting. What's a nodefest, though? Is that where you see what the server can handle? I dunno, just a guess.

May as well have a DC logo contest and print up some Tee's with the winning logo. You could sell 'em in the DC merchandise e-store. Could perhaps offset the cost of this major upgrade a little bit anyways. I'm sure some of us would be interested. Maybe a DC mousepad. Looks like some real serious hardware.

good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.

I suggest a tournament of some sort, a fund raiser, to offset the costs. One-on-one matches, sanctioned, of course. Double-elmination. A mix of tight and open maps so no class has the immediate advantage. I'll even set up the brackets.

$10 donation, maybe $20 with each participant getting a t-shirt (which I could design, if need be). I will match with a reserved slot ($60) to the winner. In addition, the winner gets a special, unique tag added to his/her name, and thus, status immortal...

out of nothing but curiosity, what will you be doing with the old (current) server? any chance of a small tdm/ctf/tam kinda server? i still think that would be good... just me wishing.

edit: before 2k7 that is. by then the old one will be the 2k4 server i assume.
