1/18 - Dumped ZebGames, working on server

[FadedOasis]

ZebGames has had major problems over the past month, and they've been really difficult to contact. I'm done with them.

MKWEA HAS MOVED TO 68.232.169.55:27015

Please update your favorites list. The server's running it's own weird default configs, so I passworded it for now. I'm going to spend Wednesday working on changing everything over to how the old server was set up, plus some extra features. I'll use the recent map poll for the mapcycle, and change a few configs that I've been meaning to since December. Also, the new server is 26 slots, which means 24 public slots, and either 2 reserved-access slots or 1 reserved, 1 replay (if I get replay working).

I also got kind of a good deal on this server, since I'm paying 3 months at a time. Downside is that MKWEA's now out of money, so I'm going to be running a fundraiser thing. This host seems to have a ClanPay-type thing, so I'm going to figure that out. That way, you'll be paying them directly instead of putting money into my personal PayPal and hoping I don't run with your $8. :-)

It's 2:45am, so I'm going to go to sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a hassle.

Running list of things that I skipped and need to remember to do:

-Twitter-based system for reporting bugs
-Create control panel logins for higher admins
-Set up MKWEA Gold (or something) membership:
----New payment system
----figure out benefits (Nothing that changes gameplay)
-Fundraiser
-Custom maps?

Server is now fully functional. Even has replays working again. Also, it's 24 public slots, 1 reserved-access slot, and 1 replays slot.

Please send me a Steam message if you notice anything wrong with the server.

Replay systems were buggy last night because DreamHost (hosting provider for the redirect server) got hammered with a DDoS two days ago, and for security, they reset everyone's FTP passwords. Should be fixed soon.

Also, I fixed the 24th slot glitch again. Had the server set with 2 reserved access slots, so anyone who tried to join into slot 24 got kicked.

Any idea why they were DDoS'd?

[FadedOasis]

Hours after MegaUpload was taken down on Thursday, Anonymous retaliated (via DDoS) against UMG, the RIAA, the MPAA, the US Department of Justice, and the FBI. I assume several other websites were accidentally hit, DreamHost being one of them.
