Not positive to be honest... We will have to find out.

SSF has its own VPS dedicated to it now (renting my own). Well, it, SSO, Chaos, HS, Deva, and SSCentral. And maybe a few other zones I missed? But yeah, we have a load of extra ram/cpu resources. Also only using on avg 100gb/1.3TB each month (only been 3 months though).

Actually, getting a feeling swift isn't going to renew it.

http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-4830-mobile-skin-now-online/ We will be upgrading to IPB 3.1 this week.

From Trench Wars: All weekend long, events will be hosted as a staff vs world basis. Guaranteed to be hosted ?go turretwar2 ?go deathmatch ?go matrix ?go javs2 and many more events will be hosted!!!!!!! Can the zone defeat the evil staff or will the staff continue to hold the bragging rights for another month? Play to find out!! by H.M.S. Stargazer Sounds like it'll be a bit of fun. Expect to see me there for a few of them.

Need to talk to you to get those and everything else finalized and setup. PM me the best time for us to meet online/in game. I work 0720-1602 PST M-F and requested not to work overtime this weekend.

Cool. Feel free to make a seperate post announcing the winner http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif

texted him said he'd do it this weekend.

Any Winners yet?

Refresh your cache. Screened it and put the old sized title bg over it and that is it. It didn't load the new one for you for some reason. Big changes are coming to the navbar shortly. Will keep this in mind.

A lot of comments I have received on SSO are that the content on larger resolutions is sometimes hard to read. The site was designed with 1024x768 in mind, but most users have moved on to wide screen resolutions, larger resolutions, or a combination of both. Still keeping 1024x768's browser width in mind, I did increase the content font size to make it a bit more readable on larger browsers. This also required me to increase the content box area, and make a few other minor design width changes. Overall I think it still looks perfectly fine, though some pages will need tweaks here and there. But it also does give room on some pages for more content to fit in without causing the page to be miles long. As always, Feedback and Comments are requested. And as you can see, I do listen to them.

About a month ago the Council approved SSL for SSC connectivity. Due to some delays with ops being out of town, including SSL's admin, the official launch was delayed. But now SSL is finally added to the firewall, SSC "Slots" have been added, and SSL zones can now take advantage of SSC. SSCL adds to the growing list of SSC approved hosts who give full support to ASSS on linux, and helps to continue the effort to turn SSC into a more diverse community of zones. Congrats and Good Luck.

I've had enough of it. I had many users complain if root wasn't banned, they'd leave cause they were tired of his crap. I am tired of his crap myself now too. But I don't leave, you do. I'm not blaming the full 140+/day members visiting down to 50-60/day visiting on him, but quite a few old members who complained about him are active elsewhere in this community still. You are an asshole/demeaning to other members of this forum constantly, and then play the little victim when they harass you back. Fuck that bs. Go find another forum to harass. (Added this to his suspension message.)

Actually based mine on the ASSS one so wouldn't be hard. I prefer to understand how something I am using works, so coded my own while researching the methods he used on the php docs. Though found it very useful. As for the directory servers, would probably be a simple tweak to the current code I have to add it in. Might do that this weekend honestly.

Thought this was a really cool read: http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/high-school-teams-set-for-greatest-game-never-played-032910

While the SSC Biller was down I got bored and began thinking of a way to maybe display the status of the biller online. This led me back to an old script I had once began playing with Sockets and UDP to grab zone statuses. Well, through some reading and research I found there is some documentation over the the Server Help Wiki about the Subgame Ping Protocol. It allows you to send a timestamp, and receive a packet containing a timestamp and the current population. So essentially using this, you can determine if the zone is online, and get its current population. So thus I decided maybe a network status page was something I should add to SSO. It was in my original plans, but I never had the time to dwell in it much. You can preview the page here and leave feedback and ideas in the comments section of this post. Thanks and Enjoy.

huh? haven't seen any news about him? Maybe sharing would be nice?

Wine is 10x easier to quickly randomize. Windows takes a bit of effort or an outside program. Edit: Regardless, told your brother what he needs to tweak to randomize his macid.

Said Are when I meant Aren't. Its cause he has a common macid with the banned players. I'm going to take a lot of slack for this... but in Wine, you can set your macid, if this is his case.

And looking at the bans, both are on macid 1, so he needs to contact the zones for a banfree if it isn't him that was banned. Edit: macid 1 = default macid for WINE users. Some Windows PCs also get this macid, but a lot of the time their users are having other read/write issues anyways.

Lol. Look at what you said, and you'll know who to contact. Big Hint: These aren't net-bans.

At 10:05pm PST ( 01:05am EST ) last night the SSC Billing Server went offline. If it has crashed, or is down for maintenance is currently unknown, but attempts are being made to reach Priit and find out the status. Will keep you updated here on any changes or information. Update: Back Online as of 12:15pm PST ( 03:15pm EST )

SSCU/SSCX is currently experiencing multiple router issues causing various zones to appear down for some players. We sadly have no control over this, but will keep you updated on when it resolves. -PoLiX

yeah, they won't be sent out yet by then. Also once you get back we all need to get together and go get sized. Telling them you are short isn't a good enough. Granted next to my bros, me, and my cous you will be short, but eh, hah.

that's just a lot of the ones in the bible belt/from there.
