I’d just like to say that I have also managed servers before. I owned a dedicated server in Texas for over a year where I ran two CoD: UO servers… I kept stats and created a forum which now has over 1000 members. The servers were packed every day as well. I am no stranger to running gaming servers or starting communities. When my servers were up my website: http://www.drivenbyinsomnia.com was getting over 2000 hits per week.
EDIT: i got the code for the forums from punbb.. don’t want it to sound like i designed the forums.. i just skinned them.. all the images / formatting of the site was done by me personally
