It's looking grim for our old server, although no official word has been given as to the cause/decision(s) that have led to this. Still in the process of figuring it out... Hopefully it'll be a PROcess and not a.. well, you know.

Another forum I am on recently lost a lot from their server. I guess it actually started on fire!

Thanks for all the hard work Ryan and Neno. I don't know anything about running a server, but I can imagine it's quite a lot of work.

Actually, a old high school friend of mine, Alec, should be thanked. Not only were we given a server to run what some of us consider our "home", but it we were allowed to use it at no cost to us. Now I have to find the guy!!! :woohoo:

:nut:

Well, yes. He's kinda hard to find when you don't have a cell # or really know where he lives anymore. Last resort is his job place. Even there, though, I'm not sure if he's working there. There seem to be quite a few ****** off people on the web about the server he was running abruptly being pulled offline. I wonder what happened?!

Regardless, looks like it just might be time for SHOcago to find a new server to run off.

Rayn - Neno,

What kind of computer does it take to be a server? I ask only because I might have something. That's if what I have can "serve" as a server.

Well, that's a good question. It more about the connection you're running to be a good server. Nothing to spiced up, but you also need to learn how to "run" a server. We'd be better off figuring out a way to pay for such a service, really. It was quite a good run we had, though!

How is BBTS hosted? Would it be possible to share or piggyback onto that for free?

If not, I'm sure a little donation drive could probably cover a year's worth of hosting somewhere.
