with the server move and such, i'm wondering if it's possible to run TBR game servers. i don't really know anything about how TBR is hosted, tho, and what it would take to host.

but it would be pretty sweet to have our own TBR server hosting games like quake or counterstrike or whatever else.

hey larry, how would this fit into the TBR scheme?

it'd cost out the ass to run a server of that speed

From what I hear, there is no shortage of ass around here so it should be fine.

It's not a logistical possibility to share a server with a message board, both in terms of bandwidth and cpu load, even if it would work the latency would be so hellish... Imagine playing Halo or CS with strobe like framerates

I have no idea what arrangement Larry has, but you basicly need a dedicated server and some dedicated bandwidth.

theoretically its possible, but it'd take a HELL of a server on a sweet ass line

not really, the bandwidth is more of an issue, counterstrike servers run great even on a p2 450, there aren't any graphics to display.

yeah, i figure there'd be some reasons it wouldn't work...

we could try it. :)

how much is everyone willing to pony up?

not when they are being used as a web server with hundreds of hits a day at the same time

trust me you'll need a dedicated server or you'll simply piss people off

it's a nice idea but yeah, not only is it a separate server but it's a great imposition to ask of Larry.
Besides the headaches of the daily "me and my friends want to play this at this time" "no, my friends and I want to play this at the same time" and so on constant hassle it'll be if it were to come about.

well, i (or someone else) could set it up and we could test it out for a day or so to see how the performace is. i've got no idea about how much those things pull on a system. but, if you guys say it won't work, i'll take your word for it.

yeah, i have no idea how these things work. i just remember larry saying something about having our own server for the new board. that sounded like a dedicated machine or some such setup.

just out of curiousity, how IS the board set up?

yeah, i'm talking more about where it is, what kinda machine is it on, what kinda connection to the net, etc. is larry paying for the machine or the connection or a slice of time/bandwidth... that kinda stuff.

and that's at a remote site, yeah? do you have to have a guy do things on it, or can you remotely manage the whole system? is it windows or linux?

at this point, i'm sorta just curious more than anything.

what kinda bandwidth are we using here?

My friend runs XBC, (XBOX connect) and it pulls pretty hard...he has several dedicated servers.
