Well, having had a "difference of opinion" in the running of the BF2 servers with the current backers I find myself in a pretty pickle.
The server itself Costs some £320 per quater too keep running, this is cheaper than alot of the lower spec machines due to a "deal".
I find myself wanting too keep the server runnign tho, BF2 has come too a point where you have to be watching 24/7 to catch the TKers and general pricks on the server.
In 3/5 months we have quakewars coming and BF2142. I'd like too keep the server running [as its quite cheap, good connection very good server itself] until then so we can have a server of each running on day of release.
If we were too stop the server and start again we/i could expect too pay about twice as much per quater for a same spec machine.
So I need ideas, I can't fork out £320 myself this quarter, just back from Sweden so I'm pretty broke. The old financier has gone and got there own machine now after i told them too buck up there ideas about kicking and banning people. Hookey has offered to jump in and foot the bill for the next 3 months but I do feel a bit evil getting it all paid for by one guy.
