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.

I am also tempted too kill one of the BF2 servers and add in some more games, its a bit of a one hit wonder atm.

So if people have suggestions for other games too have on server that would be used, also put them here :)

It needed saying tbh. Such use of language needs pointing out to people.
Your own use of language sockstuff shows an intelligence beyond your years. Well done.

I don't know what +1 is.
You don't appear to have dyslexia. That response was just a tad predictable. In fact, your spelling and grammar appear to be good. You just seem to have, as so many people do, an annoying tendency to spell 'to' as 'too'.
Personally I'd appreciate being told if I frequently spelt the same word wrong over and over again on a public forum ..... but there you go, that's internet forums for you - people are easily upset.

I was quoted and replied to directly. I must've missed the hint to fuck off in that one.
Not replying to me would be the best hint to fuck off. I wonder if you can manage that. Maybe then we can all get on with more interesting things.

Yeah, because ruining a thread with spelling pedantry is the sign of a real genius :rolleyes: If you have nothing to contribute other than your dictionary, as I said, fuck off, you irritating nonentity. Some of us would rather discuss how we keep the FH server going rather than the rights and wrongs of Gale's grammar. I wouldn't mind, but it was one word. Get over yourself ffs, it's not like he was on here talking in txt spik or smthg.

Dear oh dear oh dear, we do have some egos at play here don't we.
One simple point was made, which could and should have been left simply at that. Unfortunately, you couldn't help but lower the tone to a level of playground name calling.
You have made no more effort than I to contribute in this thread to saving the server. Don't pretend now that is why you are here.
On the contrary, I've enjoyed the thread a lot. It started off rather dull, but got more interesting. Now you seem to just want to call me names though and it's getting a bit boring again. Shame.

Well that was all fun, shame it veered so far off course the original post was lost completely. Let's try this again shall we? Without the pedantry.

Play nice!
