I just created an account to back Blucifer up; i've played on his server since he's started it, pretty much. He is an amazing admin and all around good guy. However, I can confirm that the problems he's facing with his provider renders his server unplayable, dang near all the time.

Blucifer, let me know if you want to give another provider a shot... I'll bring my horde of friends with me and just point me to a donate button =P

I'm partnering up with another local guy and he's going to help me get things going again. He's going to handle the web-based stuff and I'll handle server-side stuff. We're going to have a separately hosted website, a donation section, and a news/blog section. We're considering having a "Join Our Community" Application that people fill out so we can keep track of who's playing. But that will come way later.

I'm going to try another provider around the time this billing cycle is finished.

The question is would you rather have in-game items to accompany donations that could potentially be removed when the wipes occur every 6-8 weeks? Or would you rather have real life items? Maybe we'll do a blend of both. I'd like to see Mile High Rust t-shirts around town. :-)

Eventually, we'll use the donations to set up servers for multiple games for a larger gaming community that we'll call Mile High Gaming. I've already trademarked the name, so it's a plan in the works. We'll do local meet-ups every so often just to socialize and welcome new people, maybe do a raffle or something at the event, and we'll be the ones running things so each and every server that we have will be responsibly managed, maintained, and adminstrated just the way you guys like. Fair with no bullshit.

I like the sentiments presented throughout this thread. They can beat us down, but we will just rise again. Thanks for sticking it out Blu, and I hope that we can work as a community to keep this new server solid going forward.

Look forward to the increased presence of the server with the webpage as well. Oh, and Mile High Gaming seems like it could be pretty awesome too.

The support from you guys is the only reason why I'm sticking it out and trying again. I've got some wristbands and t-shirts on order that people will get based on donation amounts.

The server is running vanilla right now because of the update. Once the mod comes out, we'll go from there.

Never surrender! Your better than them.

[Blucifer]

I agree... The only reason why I've decided to continue is because of the support I've received from the community. So, the show shall go on.

[Blucifer]

Now we know who the culprit is.

He accused one of my admins for helping a group raid his base, not knowing that I went over to his house to hang out IN PERSON and we were watching everything. He was invisible and watching the show, just like I have done and will still do many, many times. I banned him for CONTINUING to be a complete ass and this was his response:



So glad to know that I'm correct in my judgment.

Yeah, I do have his IP, his home address, I know who his parents are, and I know that this kid is in high school. I'm sure that I could find out TONS more since he has his personal information everywhere on the internet. So if the server starts having issues again, I'll just compare the incoming data with the information I have and we'll go from there.

His Steam page is http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198088348278
His YouTube page is https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankTheProGamer/

So I'd encourage ANY admin to disallow this punk from coming anywhere near your server.

Wow, this kid just spent his whole allowance on a DDOS program and now he is just ruined.....I guess his dreams are over, he will never get to be a 1337 hacker :(

[Blucifer]

Complete and total jackass.
