If you're serious about getting a real server up and running

If you're serious about getting a real server up and running, read this link for an offer at BZFlag Server stardom. If you're willing to help out, the rewards are many.

This is a very fair deal. I don't expect that everyone can help out with this, but it would be nice to have a serious bzflag server where everyone can play.

If it moves you, respond to it. Else, fuggedabouddit!!!

Interesting...

Hmmm... I was thinking about until the donations seemed a little steep. I got a low plan myself that's hopefully what will be running my server. But it's good for people who have the dough and don't want to run their own server!

Hmmmmm

Let's say I wanted to take you up on the offer. I would need and require

- the use of my own banfile (in addition to the hosts is OK) (as long as I and my admin team are not on it!)

- My own groups file

- my own map(s)

- my own .conf files

- my vars file

- and most importantly, my own language policy.

...I'm sure I'm forgetting something as well. These are all deal makers and deal breakers.

...as a paid, surrogate host... are you willing, ready, and able to meet these demands? For money, I damn well better be able to manage "my" server as if it were sitting across the room like it does now, with the right to set, say, and modify it to my liking.

Can you meet these demands?

Quote from offer page:

During the times you have "ownership" of the server, you can set the server up however you like, passwords, rules, MAPS!!!, shot numbers, superflags, no flags, ducati, jumping like friggin mad-- it's yours!!!

From my understanding... you get the idea.

EDIT: I am not speaking for Harlin, just telling you what's on offer page!
