Reducing Fun Server Slots

[captainAngry]

Since nobody donates and everybody hates the fun server I'm going to either be reducing the slots on the fun server to 18-20 or killing it all together.

The regular server will still keep the full slots but with the BF:BC2 server and the vent server we need to support it, on top of almost nobody donating, I can't justify spending so much money out of my own pocket.

If you don't want to loose the fun server, you should donate. If you want me to kill the fun server you should post in this thread. You should probably also donate but if you don't care about the fun server, you're welcome to do whatever you want.

Yo angry, you might want to put a message up in the funserver motd, scrolling message display about the possiblity of it closing if you want to actually get some donations from the people there.

I'm not saying we should kill the fun server.

I'd just prefer it if it stopped living on a permanent basis.

[Incredible Spycrab]

I'd much rather see the slots reduced, because the funServer literally the ONLY server I go to. Whenever I get on tf2, I see that the main server is usually empty.

[Äusländer]

Kill it, shoot it in the face. I think the community needs to move on to something newer and I feel BC2 is the way to go. I also think we can get an older player base that might have some means to donate.

Hmm, is it because the funServer is better, or because it distracts the players from the main server? I wonder...

Also, if you haven't noticed, the main server is a lot harder to fill, but if it IS full, it's a really good server.

now im all for reducing the slots all the way. but killing it raises some problems. but first off, the good things. no more funserver, always good. and the main server will now be filled. but that then leaved all the idiots coming to the mainserver thinking its like the fun server and just going about with their faggotry, and a place for all the jumpmaps and such, like teamtrial and bestinclass will need a place to go. we could handle the idiots, but for now i say reduce the slots, if nothing improves, CHOKE THE BITCH TO DEATH. THEN BURN IT.

How about we lock the main server before we close the funserver, and when we enough people get on, explain to them that the main server is not for that shit.

that sounds like a good idea. or just make shure they do. not. fuck up.

[rudedog04]

i agree with tomm. I also agree personally with decreasing the sixe of the slots. With enough people, the funserver can actually be "fun" for once and not annoyance and me having to kick or ban someone every 5 or 10 mins theoretically speaking. 20 people would be well enough people, and i've always been saying this and one day ill finally make it happen, i will somehow find a way to donate.

all that has to be said.

[pleasenopouncing]

i am fine with it either way i only go the funserver to admin it.

[Slowpokes Bro]

I do not approve of this thread. I'm fine with decreasing slots, It'll be a bitch trying to get in since we've been, popular lately, but please do NOT get rid of it!!!! It is my sanctuary!

The fun server could see a couple slots go i think, most people may go for the custom maps or main server but not enough to totally ruin the main. Heck i bet most people that play fun dont even know of those servers, so its one of their main severs to play and have fun on. I liked that scrolling MOTD warning about the server possibly closing if donations are not provided, that might be the best way to go and motivate those people to help keep it alive.

Even tho it can be a real nightmare with some of them in there some times...

[captainAngry]

So far only one person has donated. It was a forum mod and someone who doesn't play on the fun server.

As it stand, I'm reducing the fun server by 10 slots this weekend to cover the majority of the Vent server we'll be getting.

[tomm]

i just say out right kill it. they have know tis inevitable and have already accepted it.

[AgeNt_]

if they want there own funserver they can buy there own.

[Viano]

I am most certainly okay with this.

[captainAngry]

I just reduced the slots from 30 to 20.

Edit: Now I can't be sure of this for a few days but it would appear that when the fun server gets full, people who know about the reg server go there and that server gets populated faster.

If this continues to be true I would have absolutely no reason to close the fun server. If you folks can get the regular server as populated as the fun server usually is, I would be more than willing to increase the fun server slots once again.

My vote goes to not killing the fun server, but I agree with the lowered slots. The reason being the way I found out about cC. I found the fun server because of a certain map (that you wouldn't see on "serious" servers) and there I got to know people. Also from there, I found the main server. Removing the funserver means losing a possible audience. Sure, the funserver has a tendency to attract people that make me look old and trolls, but that's not to say we do not have some awesome people from it.

[Incredible Spycrab]

The only reason this problem arose is because a Bad Company 2 server was made, raising the overall cost of cC. I'm glad that it's slot reduction, and not death

..............................

What? Bad Company 2 raised the price of the servers, yes, but the MAIN PROBLEM with the funserver is the fact that it seems to be turning into a BAD version of the main server. Complaint here, whine there, all the crap spreads from there.

Yes, I did "grow up" on the funserver, but I just flat out rejected it when the votemenu was put in. Too many people abusing the system, which made me realize how broken the server would have been if there wasn't anyone to admin it 24/7 like before. So I just decided to go to the main server and have yet to look back.

[scatman707]

i think this is a very good idea at the time..... but when the fun server gets overpopulated, its just gunna be terrible. with all the Cc members witht heir RESERVED SLOTS, they can just kik anyone that loves going on the fun server [LIKE ME!] and play.

[Viano]

It's a sad day when we might lose people like scatman707 and TwixlightfanXx1995.

[NotReallyHere]

Capt'n - what kind of cost/donation are you looking for? Does a buck or two per month help or is that not worth it? I'm not rich either, but my son and I do love the servers - let me know...

Thanks
