So, We're changing the paypal donations email to donations (@) boss-gamers.com for one, I figured since we are restructuring things, we may as well try a different provider for our servers so I ask two things, Please donate to that email to ensure everything goes smoothly with the transition and..

I'm still for dedicated but not sure which company would be best suited for our needs currently, thinking NY/NJ location still, any ideas?

How about a server in Europe?

Really though, somewhere in the north-east. Will there be any chance we can afford a 100 tic server?

Now with those ping times the second question is....Are they better/worse/same than the current BoSS Server?

The third question is...Are you gay? Urijah Fagbar would like to know.

I would prefer a dedicated box over renting from a host like gameservers or whatever.

We all want a Dedicated box, no wallmart shit, however the cost of a dedicated box is quite more than hosted servers, so we need donations and need to evaluate our current funds and future fund expectations before we jump into anything.


Also the host we do have lined up for our Dedicated looks too be pretty damn good so DONATE MONEY BITCHES so we can get on it.


As Shadow said it last night in a drunken rage, the Dedicated box/Host would be good enough to run our current servers plus a 50 slot Office server.

[DarkShadow]

in all honesty, it isn't really more, think about it.

Quad core can host about 4 servers easily, each server being top quality, and most gameservice providers charge around 70/month for a good server, in turn we reap the benefit and cut out the middleman.
