hmm - i used to play there one hell of alot ages ago - it is a really nice server - and friendly too - but i have never seen any signs of the admin etc - and it doesn't tell you who they are. You could try talking to console every now and then - see if anyone is out there..............so to speak!

If anybody knows any of guys in this thread, I think it must be one of them that runs it.

Again - great servers, Geezers - I'm pushing 30 myself so I'm just trailing you guys.

Hey there. Sorry for the slow response, I just stumbled on this thread today...I don't browse the forums as often as maybe I should. Anyway, I'm the Admin of [OGzr}Geezers in Space. (and the other gameservers we run) I personally don't play FL much at all...I just don't have the time unfortunately. I put the server up at the request of some of my clanmates - you've probably seen them in the server - they may not use the [OGzr} tag in their names though, I'm not sure about that.

As far as the player limit on the server, it's now at 14 in order to limit the bandwidth it uses. It's become a bit of a victim of it's own popularity I'm afraid. When I first put it up, it was set for 20 players or more. That was fine at first, but as it became more and more popular the bandwidth charges got a bit out of hand and I had to cut it back. At 14 it's using almost all of the 30 Gigs/month that is included with the base charge to host the machine. Anything beyond that and I get charged extra. (per Gig transferred)

So...lately I've been thinking maybe I should try setting up some kind of a pay-to-play system. If you guys really like the server that much, would you be willing to pay say $1 a month for the privilege of using the server? The server would then be passworded, and only the players who pay would be given the password. (a different password every month of course) Just a thought...maybe it wouldn't fly.

Thanks for listening and for your kind words about the server.

Thanks for the response Jack - I understand completely where you are coming from but I had to ask.
I'm not sure about the pay-2-play idea, though Icertainly wouldn't mind forking over a whole dollar a month, I'm not sure if it would fly either. As much as I've used it, I also be willing to try and come up with any additional components u might need for the machine if you posted it's specs etc. I've quite a bit of memory and such laying around - additional HDs and such. I spoke with Lt.Sam a couple weeks ago and he let me know a bit of what was going on and that it's located in N.CA.
Anyhow - thx again.

Sid- Thanks for your offer of components. At the moment though, it's pretty well set for memory, drivespace, etc. If you're interested...it's a Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon machine with 2GB ram and a 120 GB RAID-5 array.

I'll have to keep mulling over the pay-to-play thing...might just have to give it a shot & see what kind of response I get...

Is modding allowed on this server? Speed cheats? If not, where should I send my 'i am modding' dialogue screenshot?

Yeah, what Stilgar said. And...no, mods or cheats of any kind aren't allowed on the server.
