i'm looking for people who are willing to share the cost of a really, really, really good BF2142 server.

it will be on a Velocity-Servers.net quad-opteron box, 4GB DDR, the latest SCSI RAID technology, with a very good internet pipe.  i'd like to go with a chicago box to keep the location central, so both east coast and west coast can join it.  or dallas texas.  in addition, i believe i can get preferential pricing because i know the staff and i am well known in the e-sports community.  guys who play in my servers include Erik "da_bears" Stromberg, Nick "odt" Frank.  those are Cal-Invite players.  other CPL players come to my server.

once you see how good the Velocity server is, you'll see there's no more sliding of the battle walker because of lag.  it's hard hitting.  your shots are guaranteed to reg.

i am a very open-minded server admin.  i prefer to let people be themselves, to be jerks, or A-Holes.  banning players for having an attitude is against my policy.  you read that right --- i prefer people to speak openly and be jerks if they want.  i never ban people from my server.  i never ban people from my vent.  why?  because it is juvenile to ban people.  the admins out there i see, i dominate them mentally then they ban me.  you'll never be banned from my server.  i can take hits.  the question is, can you take hits?

so im looking for people to contribute to the server cost.

i've got a website that was designed by IMG.  if you don't know who IMG is, they are the ones that designed NiP Gaming's, compLexity's, and Pandemic's website.  it is one of the rarified few websites on the internet.

i'm not here to deceive you.  i'd like to see you on a high-performance quad-opteron server.  are you ready for it?  i dont want a free server.  i want a high-performance server and im willing to pay for it.  are you willing to pay your share so we can all play on a high-performance quad-opteron server?

I'll pay like $20 max, the main thing is I like to ban people who are assholes and disrupting gameplay.

edit: What maps, what gameplay, how many players?

Great, I'll match that.  Now we have $40.

yes, if they are being disruptive, you can ban them.

if they are just "mouthing off" in the server, best just to ignore them.  or, you can mouth off back to them.  if you ban/kick them, then you have paid attention to them and that's what they want.  that's what you want to avoid, is paying attention to someone in particular.

of the following machines, which will BF2142 run better on?

server 1: dual amd64 dual core processors (quad amd64)
server 2: dual P4's

answer: the amd64 server 1 is going to be the better BF2142 server.

ok, update:

ok, i talked to the guys at Velocity.  the price is $5.00 USD per slot.

for a 64-slot server, that's $320.00 USD ($380 CD) per month.

Quad-Opteron Server.  Hitachi SCSI-3 RAID STRIPE array drives.

who's in with us?
