Paul's word is good enough for me :D

I'll give you ALLLLL my moneys!!!! ....*hum*.... enjoy!

100% of the donations will be used toward a dedicated server. The total that has been donated will be kept up to date in the first post of this thread. You can mail in payment to the address listed on the first post as well. So we take paypal, cash, money orders, checks.

Now I do realize that we may not be able to raise $700. If that is the case, I will eventually use what we *do* have and buy a server anyway - meaning I will pay the difference. Though the upgrade will happen MUCH MUCH sooner if we get donations. I'm offering to pay half and would rather not pay more than that.

If you donate, the amount and your name (or anonymous - your preference) will be added to the first post in this thread. This way everyone can track the status of the donations. When it hits $700 I'll buy a server from Dell.

Just to be clear, we are buying a physical server, housing it in our data center, and Phillips Data is paying for all other fees including bandwidth, etc as we have been since CS 1.3. We are not renting anything from any third party and we make no money from hosting the game server.

Sand Dweller
 

And what's up with the Sand Dweller, where did that come from.:cool:

and believe me. the server will be housed in the data center like he said, but it wont be alone. the server will have other friends, which are servers as well, to chill with that are also owned by phillipsdata. it will be locked in a locker making sure the server is safe. and because it is not alone, the server will stay happy all the time because it has friends to be with all sharing the same locker. hopefully the servers dont get sick of eachother while they are cohabitating =P But this will be a nice, fun, friendly environment for the server :D

Sand Dweller is a creature in HL2 and it will change as you make more posts.

LOL Rodent.

Rodent is, I think, the only person who has actually seen our data center and touched the game server.

If it gets you all excited I may post a pic of the DC.

i almost had an orgasm when i saw and touched it. if i saw a picture i dont know what i would do again.

and to everyone, i met paul, and hes even sexier in person =P

also, to anyone that is wondering how you can get the opportunity to see the server, here is how it is done.

first, you need to cut off paul's hand because it checks ur finger prints to even get inside the data center.

then you need to put on paul's face, because there is a camera that checks ur face to the id you need to wear and it compares it to their database. no faking ID's here....you need to actually wear his face.

And finally when you get past that security, you need to find the locker the server is in and find out the locker combo.

Good luck. :D

Donation
 

Hostmaster (Do you got a name),

Got the address, will send you a check, it's in the mail.

I hate it when I try to connect to your server and I get kicked because I'm using a reserve slot, can that be corrected once you receive my donation?

Correct me if I'm right, you donated $700.00, and you have one anonymous for $22.00. That brings the total to $722.00. hmmm.

I'm sending a check for $350.00, I'll go half of the half. Why don't some of you others step-up.

I wasn't looking to rent my server, I have a dedicated CSS server on a T1 connection out there for anyone to use. You want to admin it, have fun. It sits in my office at work as a dedicated server, was just offering its use. Not very many people play on it, would just like to see it used.

Built the computer 6 months ago, has a AMD X2 4400, 4 - 160G SATA HD's in Raid 0, 4G Ram. Good for CSS dedicated server.

I love playing CSS, just not that good at it. Need tactic help. My son is very good at it, just can't get him to play that much anymore, he likes WOW.

I hope you hit your mark soon, that lag is killer sometimes:mad: .

Mike

p.s. That it just mean making me a Sand Dweller, lol.
