Saving up for a dedicated box seems like a good idea, and as others have said, less change is better. We all know what happened last time the IP's changed.

how much is a dedicated connection? and what is required?

[*CHILIDOG*]

Make your decision and I'll kick in where I can (pretty broke but i can put up something)

how much is a dedicated connection? and what is required?

The dedicated boxes that we are looking at are 200-300 a month. We should be able to run 2 good 32 slot CSS servers and easily have enough juice to run another ?????? server.

In a perfect world we have the manpower to pay for that with admin dues easily. The only problem with that is that we don't want to be in the position as to fall behind no matter what happens...........

Seeing how we are kinda starting from scratch as far as finding a host and funding goes, I'd like to get ahead of the game a little as to have a buffer zone if something happens........

Hmm, well about money. . . I'll see what I can do. . . If I don't work out something with my finances soon, then I may be looking for a 3rd part time job to fill those hours 6pm-10pm. I refuse to ask my parents for help, as they are already paying for college.

Maybe I can give up m tips from the carwash for a week and put it towards the server. Though, that's usually my money for gas and lunch for the week. But I guess I can go a week on 1 meal a day.

But definately go for the dedicated box.

I haven't bothered to check, but to donate for the new server can we still click the donate button or do we need to manually do a paypal transfer to you?

Yes and no. I see the email address that your paypal is setup through. However this doesn't really tell me whats going on unless I can obviously tell who is who. I plan on makin a spreadsheet with everyones info so I know whats goin on in the near future. Madhatter = [email protected] type sh*t.

Right now there is no "the rest." Seeing on how the server is say 300/mo with $50 setup fee and I'd like to have say $50 extra in the pot on a recurring basis. (not extra $50 a month, just $50 or so extra in case sh*t happens)

Once the ball gets rollin if there is a surplus of funds, we'll either agree on what to do with them or lower dues. I do not want to put this community in a position that we get kickass servers goin then lose a few admin and end up getting screwed and have to change sh*t around.

I know how to manage funds and am NOT BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES out to profit out of this. If anything I'll most likely end up fronting $100 or more to get us running.

Thank you my shorkpeckered friend!!There is enough people to help my email is [email protected] and i'll donate again when we know whats what or you say so.. wish i had extra cause i would donate more.And i know that this allot of bs to deal with so thanks!!And i hope it works!!


BoSS is the best thanks to the people in here and shawdow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IWantWhiteCastle]

Like I said before I planned on donating before this happened and wished to get my admin back and this situation certainly does not change that. I will be donating by the end of the week mate.

As for the voting, I voted for the last one. If there is enough donations up front then certainly go for the dedicated box but there are some very good hosts out there that aren't a royal pain in the ass to deal with so temporary servers really isnt that bad of an option.

[RogueAlly]

My donation is in, I think you'll be happy with it.

[email protected] is my paypal email.

[Mandraque]

[Lost Hatter]

I think we should just wait a bit for the dedicated servers. if we just throw up a sever and play it 4 a while people are gonna get all pissy cause we shut em down n sh*t due to the fact of getting new dedicated servers...i smell drama and chaos with the 3rd choice.



Everyone just wait 4 the dedicated server then we can all be happy chillin n killin if we just be paitent......

We have made up our mind and are going to go DEDICATED. That and hopefully Early next week.

We are even fairly sure on what host we are going to use.

Dual Opterons and VERY low latency seem like a good idea to me.

I am hoping that we get a for real answer like "Servers will be up XXXDay" or some sh*t pretty soon.
