Is the LAN still Dec. 11th or are we trying to push the date closer? Im trying to find out so I can go post flyers at the LAN centers and Gamestop in Asheville.
It’s still the 11th. Once a LAN is scheduled for the Grand Room it’s extremely unlikely to be moved because it’s really hard to get reservations for it.
@Nickname: They’re set up now exactly the way they were back then, only with a Win2008 twist.
What does he want done? It’s configured about as straightforward as pure gaming server can be.
I think most here are willing to help but so far your objective is a little on the vague side and we really don’t understand what the goal is. Do they need to be easier to find, easier to install, easier to update, easier to configure?
Please don’t say all of the above lol
Also worth noting is that historically Madden hasn’t done very well. It’s been voted in I think twice and both times had 5 players or less.
NCAA has fared better but not by much.
Do some heavy advertising for it in Albright/Benton and any other athlete-heavily dorms.

Just a heads up, this is Frank. The gamertag is supposed to be spelled “Frankage” its says farukage. Just FYI lol sorry
Fixed.
Don’t worry about it. You’re by far not the first and won’t be the last to have their name and/or handle-id misspelled in the meeting minutes.
Wait a minute.
Your juggernaut mod and the teleport mod would be perfect for doing that sort of thing.
We need sourcemod with the teleport plugin so I can meander into the other team’s spawn and rack up the achievements.
Glad to see you guys got the ball rolling on next semester. Go ahead and reserve all 3 dates just to be sure you get the two you want.
Also nice to see a solid spread of games on the upcoming LAN. Make sure Mod Nation is freeplayed so the Mario Kart fans can learn before the tournament, the last thing you want is people not playing simply because they don’t know the game and don’t have the chance to learn before the tournament.

Forum-Related Issues
Kaz-Ka brought up several concerns with the forums. He made several suggestions:
—That the Administrative section be removed.
—That a new online message board be created.
—That the alumni write a set of instructions on how to maintain the servers.
This concerns me. The administrative section is there for a very good reason. The WCUGA message board doesn’t support private sections and they’ve been caught with foot in mouth several times. For example, someone posted an AIM conversation that was obviously meant to be kept secret (discussing things like stealing money, etc) but because of lack of secure communications it became a popular download among WCUGC execs. Have any of these changes been discussed with the webmaster because I can’t imagine him being OK with any of it?
As to the new message board, what system do you plan on moving to? How much is it? Who will maintain it? Who will host it? Who will code the skin? Can the database be transitioned? These are few common sense questions that should have answers before even considering moving to a new system. It was bad enough when IT tried to delete 5 years of our history but intentionally losing it in a board transition would be just as bad. IPB is the premier message board, hence why they can charge a fee and people actually pay it. It’s not only one of the oldest, but it’s MUCH more secure and is overall just maintained better by the developers. It’s also lightyears easier to manage and run than any other system you’ll find, that’s the part you guys should be concerned about.
As to your instruction manual, why is this an issue now? Felix has had every question he’s asked answered and *should* know how to do everything. If he doesn’t it’s not for our unwillingness to help him. Now I’m sure between us we could spend the 30-40 hours writing a manual for you guys but let’s be honest, no one will really read it. Not to mention that Microsoft’s Server 2008 manuals total about 1800 pages, add to that 100 or so that are gaming related and you’ll end up with either the best PC VP of all time or, more likely, the worst who’d have been much better off just having a couple hour training session with someone getting the general rundown on what he needs to know.

Liquid suggested that a Minecraft server Felix had created on his PC be used as the official Minecraft server. Felix announced that he finds the way the servers are currently set up to be “convoluted” and wishes to reorganize them to his liking.
Felix hasn’t logged into Atari in over a month or the forums in over 3 weeks. This isn’t my opinion or a random guess, I checked the logs last night and the logs don’t lie.
I’d ask that before you let someone who obviously doesn’t take their job seriously intentionally screw everything up please make him run his “ideas” on “reorganizing the server” past the people who’ll have to fix and maintain it once he loses interest again.
Yeah, that’s negative, and I’m not sorry about it. Making this idea sound like a good one would be a lie, and I don’t do that. It’s nothing personal against Felix, I’d have said the exact same thing if Kuros or Nickname were making the suggestion. It’s just not a good idea. Liam is busy with life, I’m busy with grad school projects, and if Felix for whatever reason can’t get things working again during the “reorganization” then everything just stays broke.
If Minecraft is the driving force behind this then it should be noted that the VM for it has been ready to go for about 6 weeks now. All it needs is to have Minecraft installed on it and the firewall configured. As PC VP, that’s Felix’s job.
Just out of curiousity though, what’s “convoluted” about the server? The servers are organized by Pub or LAN, by game, and by server number. For example, TF2 Server #2 (the idle) is in \pubs\TF2-2 and the CSS 24/7 Dust2 is in \pubs\css-247\. I’ve been managing gameservers for 3 years and know of no way to make it less convoluted than that. If he knows of a way I’d love to hear it, as would Liam and Adam.
Btw, removing the administrative sections means dirty laundry like this goes in the open sections. Something to keep in mind
From what I’ve seen, MoH = CoD – some features.
I don’t think both should be allowed to get voted in.
TF2 and L4D2 are a must. Either CS/CSS, CoD4, or DoDS would be nice. Idk why Nickname listed DoDS, he must be banking on me not coming
Regardless of the games, please make sure the dedicated servers are ready this time. Liam and me will gladly answer any questions on this. Sadly, a few months back they implemented code that makes L4D2 match servers possible so that should be utilized as well. I say sadly because it’s abused WAY too often 
For consoles: Halo, Mario Kart, and Brawl with a side of either CoD6 or MoH. Idk how successful it was but I’d almost be tempted to make the drive for just 1v1 Brawl

Btw: you sure they are mitches panties? fussing online is like seeing who can chug milk faster, either way , the winner is still an idiot…lol
I can’t attest to what Liquid’s panties are like but mine seem much more like boxers. Idk how that works
Anytime you get a game of old Halo going let me know. I used to rock the headshots in that game and my warthog driving is some of the best you’ll ever see.

This seems strange to me on an existential level. Drew Carey is skinny. I mean… what is real?
Maybe Adobe made a version of Photoshop that edits video in realtime.
Either that or The Price is Right is no longer live.
I’m wondering how much longer before they robotize that japanese sex doll.
When it comes to messed up stuff like that their wallets are typically bottomless.

I have a ping of 600 to my router
your computer is a baddie
Idk what the problem was, it kept happening after resetting the router. Hasn’t happened today though.
It only did it when I increased traffic on my HTPC/seedbox which is also wireless about 10 feet away. Maybe they got some cross-mojonation or something, idk. I really need to change how my room is set up, being 5 feet away from 3 seperate wireless antennas can’t be a good thing.
Maybe just reinstall the whole thing.
For whatever reason CSS needs a good reinstall every year or so. It’s like Win98/XP.
Here we are trying to keep you guys from getting in trouble and all you can do is troll us on it.
Tell you what, if you want to keep this such a big secret go right ahead. We’re going to find out Thursday anyway. After the meeting I’m not going to complain about it, I’m not going to tell you what’s wrong, I’ll just let you get boned by UPD.
