Wow, you are fucking retarded... haha "PriitK made Trench Wars"... The Ghost Ship ran trench for quite some time. Dgus (sp?) and Silent Dragon created original Trench. And if I remember right TGS made trench wars dark which eventually merged into the zone, though not 100% on that. But I do remember the 2 zones, and remember The Ghost Ship running trench wars. And yes, him and Alex got confused all the time. Read Ghost Ship's 20 questions for the GS and TGS confusion quote.

I'm assuming by all this, you don't have uninsured/underinsured. Though even having those and him having insurance is a pain. My parents have been through it quite a few times being rear ended. And recently my bros were hit by a drunk driver, who at 1st they couldn't find any insurance with. But even 2.5 months later, and all the bs, my mom and our insurance broker are saying things are progressing very quickly. But this also helped since the uninsured kicked in, and our insurance went after them. But once they gave up their insurance, now they are dealing with them. But yeah. He had full coverage, so his car was paid off, and he went and bought a new one. Actually ended up buying his totalled one back (and decided he needed a 27,000 car this time). But they have been told average time for any sort of pain and suffering money (which my little bro is still in pain) even now dealing with an insurance company, probably won't be seen until mayish at the earliest. Being if he doesn't have insurance, and you don't have coverage for uninsured, full coverage, etc. Buddy of mine went through that fun process for 1.5yrs. You too are probably outta luck for anything quick. I'd say a good 10-12months, at best. And that is if you sold your claim from your lawsuit to a company that went after him. Otherwise its a slow process of them garnishing what they can (if they can) his wages, and so forth and you getting small payments from him. Downside to selling it off, they'll take a pretty large cut. I think of his 42,000 they took 8000ish. But yeah. Don't expect anything quick.

He can learn to quit SS under his own will. Zones can ban him all they want.

Amongst the 30 other names he has created, including Op>PoLiX and ER>PoLiX. I think someone is a little obsessed, mhmm. Though still entertaining the fact he isn't going to get a net-ban, lol. Guy can't even figure out how to get one, let alone thinks he is annoying me. Feel bad for all his efforts.

Think I am either going to setup a cron job to check occasionally that the directory server is running, or give some of the other admins access to restart it. Maybe both...

I've always hated dominos, so the new one might be worth a try.

Turning it on. Guess our DC had a power outage. Dunno. I didn't notice anything, but I don't get home til ~1700 PST. Back online and getting updates from zones.

ssdir down again?

or the fact IPB has built in forum redirects. We use to do this, but had hundreds of forums, so no. That is what the nav bar was created for.

Just PM me on SSF like L.C. did... simple. Just need Admins, Zones Hosted, Server Info, IP (for firewall), and any other helpful information.

Yeah, I'll fix it later tonight or tomorrow. I know what happened.

http://www.sscentral.com/stats/stats.txt - Lots more zones now... Just SSCE/RedStar not reporting.

And it'd seem SSCU/SSCX are firewalled from other dir servers.

Open in wordpad, save it, open it in notepad.

The whole basis of this idea is great. But the issue is that power corrupts everything, and laziness overpowers all. I think there are some features planned/suggested (though not in this thread), that priit left out for perfectly good reasons. There is no command for billing to delete anything. Why is this good? Because everything done can quickly and easily be undone. An op goes nuts and renames hundreds of people, odds are it can be restored by going through the billing log. But an op deletes tons of people, then a back up is the only choice, and who knows if there are any consistent back ups of the biller. And even so, you could lose a few hundred more accounts, bans, etc. depending on how long it takes to restore a back up. Having BanG and Billing seperate was a good idea also. Keeps seperation of powers, and makes giving higher level bang less risk. The lack of a biller wide alias commmand, also very good. Far too many times do alias bots (though yes, less reliable) connect too many people to aliases they don't own. I know Myself and Swift alias to each other, and to a name trader whos aliases he confiscated after he stole them a few years back. So of course we now alias to multiple other name traders, etc. etc. Imagine having this biller wide, just not in a single zone. You could alias 1 person, but connect them to 300 other people who they may never have known. That and so many common macids... this i'll never understand (except macid 1). As for limiting accounts. You can try, but it won't be successful. Name traders have nothing better to do with their lives than find ways around the system to keep hundreds of aliases. I know 1 TW player who has 384 active aliases. Granted that is just the limit of what I could pull. So who knows how many more he has. A lot of suggestions here user function wise are nice. But just thought I'd mention a few others brought up elsewhere.

All but 1 task completed. Not terrible.

Nowhere am I saying it is a replacement. But I will do everything in my power to keep it up and running as long as possible. It uses so little resources on the server I dunno why I didn't set it up before. Might let TT know how I did it so he could set one up also. The only thing I don't get though... is zones have added it to their directory, but it isn't adding them...

Check the new SSC Acceptance Guidelines up and posted Here. Hopefully we will see more servers applying for SSC, and more zones getting onto SSC hosts.

Due to recent issues with ssdir.playsubspace.com, and sscentral.sscuservers.net being down for quite some time now, I decided to setup a directory server on SSCentral.com. The list is very limited right now, but I have contacted a few zone sysops to add sscentral.com to the directory line of their server.ini. So if your zone isn't listed, or a zone you frequent, go ahead and add it or ask one of the sysops to please add it. For sysops - *s*Directory:IP:sscentral.com,ssdir.playsubspace.com,sscentral.sscuservers.net And then *recycle And for those interested in stats, they update every 15mins @ http://www.sscentral.com/stats/. Thanks and Enjoy!

Have to be the 1st to say it... So the SSC Wall Falls!

I told him to use it. And SSCL and SSCR I don't remember ever being used... Also, there has been multiple SSCAs and SSCTs... so what is wrong with another SSCB? or SSCBT?

One of the recent suggestions on the SSCouncil was to be more public about topics being discussed and decided upon. Well, luckily the 2 recent big topics are not only big to the council, but big to the entire game itself. Brand spanking new SSC Acceptance Guidelines have been ratified, and will take effect immediately. These guidelines are more open, and will give more zones the chance to join the SSC Network. Hosts will still be held to the same strict rules as in the past, but will have more flexibility in adding zones to their servers and SSC. Once the guidelines are posted on the council website, I will update with a link. Also, the long running BlueT server will be allowed connection to SSC Billing. This is a huge step as it has been a long time since a new server joined the SSC Community. 2 former SSC zones are hosted on BlueT, but 1 newer zone will finally have its shot at SSC, and we all wish them luck in the future. Hope to keep you updated with more good news from the council!

RSS feed would be quick and simple... I've been toying with the SSO twitter a bit trying to see how I could feed into it. I did find I could post to it from Trillian so did a test with that I haven't deleted yet. But dunno yet.

The Y2K10 bug has been officially squashed by PriitK, and SSCU/SSCX were updated a little over a week ago with no issues. He has now sent us the new subgame for release. To download, click here and then click download file. Much thanks to Priit for fixing this bug, and the others for making the temporary fixes they did to help out. (Note: Version is still 1.34.14b, but the minor bug will be fixed)

off to spam with this one....
