mmmm - ever considered self-flaming?

 

[shabazz]

heehee

 

[Ch3tan]

LMAO played Laz.

Lot of people will be looking for a new gsp, looking through wp pages they are setting up alternatie servers on sites with free hosting. WE will get their gamers on server but their migration to our forums may be slower.

[Will]

So BY are taking their gaming service seriously. About time.

I wish NTL would do something...be nice for ppl who use their services.

 

[Wij]

NTL never do anything. It's their mission statement

"Do nothing but charge for it. Then sleep on beds of money. Mwuhahahaha !!!"

 

[]SK[]

Too true

[Wij]

Made about a billion profit last year didn't they :/

 

[]SK[]

feck

ppl that work there are fecking nobs though

oooo 5:17 nearly time to go

 

[Will]

Careful - I work for a very similar organisation. But I know what you mean.

 

[]SK[]

is it easynet?

 

[Will]

Telewest

 

[]SK[]

Ahhhh

So dont u agree that you should have servers for your customers?

 

[Will]

They (I like to seperate myself from my work) have a limited number of servers, but they don't support them, and the guys that run them do it as more of a hobby.

 

[]SK[]

yeh i would like to be able to do that.
do u have the ips?

 

[Will]

I'm not pimping here - they are hidden away on the BY website.

 

[]SK[]

i want a 512/512 conny
guess im being greedy

 

[Will]

Cable modems are sweet - I know, I got one. 512/512 isn't gonna happen, and I don't often sit thinking "I wish I had more upstream bandwidth" Sub-40 pings, somethimes single figures, is good enough for me.

i know a company who does 256 up
but its sh*t for online gaming
