Can we see about hosting 2 UA game servers? We did this for awhile in the past and they were successful until our anti cheat projects brought in some script kiddies who wanted to take it down.

1 TF2
1 CS:S

What do we need to make that happen ?

I think it would be a great way to bring UA back into the community. I have some free time so I could help admin or even look into hosting if we don't the resources.



Just an idea....

This is definitely a solid idea to get the name back out into the community as well as a way to offer additional things to the community.

To really attract attention though, we would have to have the vibe of the server be unique in the sense that it really separates itself from other servers. At the same time however, remaining true to the game that it is hosting (be it CS:S or TF2). Any thoughts on what kind of features it would have (besides Hlstats of course :p).

tf_birthday 1
lots of awesome custom maps.
sv_alltalk 1

Those three things make an awesome server imo.

CS:S, no idea. I don't play CS:S. :p

First question do we have the resources to host a server currently ?

Is Hatcher still around and is he still hosting the ua site ?

All i need is some type of shell access and I will start on this. Otherwise I will look into paying for some services. However I would really like my access back if im going to be investing something into this. After all i have been here 7+ years.


also if someone could change the word n00b under my name that would be wonderful.

thanks

well currently this site is running of HD webspace.
there is no more server or anything like this. we don't have the mirrors and the servers, as we had.

so we would have to rent some one or find some one who is running a gameserver.

well about the n00b, just keep posting or tell me what you need ;-)

Ok unless someone else has a resource for hosting, it will be about 4-6 weeks before I can get one setup. At this point im looking to host a TF2 server. What other games are really big that we may want to consider hosting ?

Possibility one of the Call Of Duties? Additionally the next one will be released November, so having one the day of launch would be pretty great.

I'm currently focused primarily on TeamFortress2. The question remains though, where would the server be located?
