Our Situation

Tommy · 2007-03-11T04:05:15Z

As many of you may have noticed, 4 of our 6 servers are down. First, a break down of the servers and who takes care of them business-wise: Sniper Server (Tommy) Multi Server (Tommy) Practice Server (Tommy) Bolt Action Server (Draco) FN 1v1 Uzi Server (Draco) Instagib Server (Diminished) Draco's 2 servers are still up, the rest are down and/or out. Here is what happened. Our good friend Turkey decided to fuck with the servers, and as a result, the ones he has fucked with already will no longer run UT99. He doesn't seem to care about this. The servers that I and Dim take care of were affected. I have been patiently and politely talking with Turkey since last weekend about this. The end result of talking with him tonight is that not only will he not move our games to a server that does work, but he wanted to move Draco's servers to the machine that doesn't work. How does that make sense? Here is the current state of things with our servers and Turkey. The 3 servers I deal with just will not work and he is unwilling to help with the situation. Add to that the fact that our monthly payment is due in about an hour or so from now and it will not come as a surprise to you that I have canceled the servers and froze our funds so that he may not get any more money for those 3 servers. Dim's server does not work either and I suspect will never again work while associated with Turkey. Draco is getting a hold of him to let him know he should cancel his server as well. That leaves us with Draco's 2 servers. For the time being, his servers do in fact work properly. However, Turkey has stated that he intends to change those servers as well, and they will most likely no longer work when that happens too. He plans to change the servers very soon (week or 2). When that happens Draco will be canceling those servers as well. Turkey has fucked us several times in the past, so it comes as no surprise that he is doing so one last time. Where does this leave us? First, we looked around and found that we could not find another game service provider cheap enough to allow us to maintain 6 servers - not even half of that. So we were pretty much boned there. Then I got some info from a friend who is extremely sharp with computers and networking about getting a server of our own. I then priced out some servers. It looks like we will be able to get our own server and we are figuring this out now. There are still issues of money. We have funds still left in the dou coffers, and a few people have pledged support. I don't want this post to be all about the money, that is something we will deal with as we need to. I have found a reasonably priced server that should be able to host all 6 game servers we currently run, and probably team speak too. If not we can upgrade it to the next tier for a small fee and that would for sure do it. This is what we are planning to do now. By the way, anybody who wants to be part of the planning process just needs to come to TS and say Hi. I am going to try my best to make this a reality. Be aware that there will also be a learning curve involved. I will have help from some very gifted people so if I get the server, it will go up. Like I said before, Turkey fucked us one last time, but what he doesn't seem to realize is that nothing will ever be able to tear this clan apart. We are here for the long haul. As an added bonus, we will never have to deal with this asshole again. He will soon be a distant bad memory that time has dulled. I will be posting more very soon. I do understand that everybody is eager for the games to go back up. I will do my best to be as quick as I can but it may take a bit of time. Thanks, Tommy

Finally got this done. To be honest, I didn't know how to make the button / link again, thus the delay while my brain was smoking. I got some help and here it is:

Right now the page is just the button for a 1-time payment. I will jazz it up and add other options, whatever the need is.

Thanks,

Tommy
