Nywayz ... lol how do we get a css server?? i really wana know how people can buy one or make one doesnt make sense

right, u can run your own dedicated server, however if anyone is using ur internet or dl u will prob get high pings and lots of lag.

what most clans do is they rent a server, a dedicated server is set up specifically for running the css server, meaning gd pings and little lag. u can get these for about £10/month normally, maybe a bit more

A ded server on a normal BB internet connection will always lag. If you look at tools on your Steam window, people use "Source dedicated Server".

To get a proper server you need to rent one, as Wynney said. However, while they start at £10/month ish, that's for an 8 slot server, typically. For a decent amount of slots, you're looking at £20+, which is getting quite expensive.

not with advertising to cover costs

Advertising may cover costs, but with a small site we wouldn't get that much, and advertising also goes against my personal philosophy. I think I may add a few GoogleAds if we get round to a full site, and see if that can cover hosting then see how much would go towards a game server. The problem is, I don't think people would use a gameserver that much, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

i can think of some ppl who would use it all the tieme

Namely yourself. And it wouldn't be all the time. The problem is I don't think it would be used enough or by enough different people to make it worthwhile. I don't know, maybe if I get round to some fundraising, then I'll see. Either that, or I'll get good internet at some point and use an old comp.

i can think of many regulars, and if we put the name correctly we could get a lot of users as well

also, i would make sure it has a gd map rotation XD

I agree to disagree. Very expensive and im not sure if it would be worth the money. Although it would be great to have one.. really good...

i found 12 slot for £16/month. seems gd deal to me *cough* hint *cough*

Markus... i Am NOT!! buying that... i get what £15 a week if i work on it... i need to eat and pay to go out with Bethan! i cant afford it lol

So how are we gona do it??

£16/mount is a lot, and a pretty standard price TBH. As I said, I'll see what I can do about servers at some point in the future. I may run a home one with on-demand service if I got a better internet connection.

where did i say members have to pay hellfire ffs

Yeah, you were actually hinting at me to buy it. xP

If it ever does get serious serious, I'll consider accepting donations aswell as ad money to fund stuff. However, i doubt we will get to that stage any time soon.

sorry, i didnt mean it like that

Hey... we're not UKF here... no members paying for bad servers!

No-one has to pay anything. It will be ad payed and optional donation if anything. I don't believe in making people play to be part of the clan. Though if it did happen, I'd consider a reward scheme for those who pay, like a month of certain admin or whatever, but seeing as that's no time that soon, I don't really need to worry about that.

lol, yeh, i dnt expect anyone have to pay for anything either, tho of course donations to me are never turned down

Note to all members - Wynney is not the financer of Techious, no donations should be sent to him!

i agree completely

Wow, quote manipulation, you really think people will fall for that?

(I sure hope not )

again, i agree

Well that is just silly now.

Note to wyneey - I can edit your posts and stop you from editing them, btw

lol, i was only having a bit of fun, i dnt actually expect anyone to fall for it really =[

I'd hope they don't!

I was just informing you , anyway, cos my powers are 1337! It's actually quite useful to stop bad posts getting edited back.
