Office server

[Kidder]

I don't know if anyone else noticed how shitty the sever is running but its very very lag its so bad i couldn't even play any more. Everyone was bitching about it so i know it wasn't just me. So I just wanted to let someone know so they could look into it before nobody plays on the sever because of it

[enderless]

tomorrow i plan on going through the server, plugin by plugin, and figure out what is causing this shit.

[mEow]

Well, I for one, don't have any lag issues ever. But no PC is the same, so thats IMO.

But we do need to get something straight, I shed a tear when I see how low office is sometimes, and then i get flashbacks to how popping and busy and what a awesome community was on there before.. Now its....... the dead zone

[siosios]

let me point something out to you guys, i warned everyone that if we could not keep the donations coming in that the community would not be able to stay on the servers they resided on. and since that warning ive seen nothing but a decline in interest for the community as a whole.

with out donations the servers dont continue to run, at least not on the stable and perfected boxes we once had. now we have to resort to cheaper methods of keeping the servers online and since the move its been a battle to get them back into shape. still i see members dropping like flies becuase rather then help get things squared away they see it as a waste of time to participate.

in all these years in working on the back end of things i have only had 3 solid offers to help (nat, ender, and one other).... thats only 3 in 6 years, but the complaints over the years were non-stop.

where are the people that actually give a damn becuase i personally dont see to many people lifting a finger besides the ones that donate continuosly and have done so for years.

why did we drop so far you ask? becuase people on the servers were rude, incompetent, bullying, and had a total lack of respect for anyone other then themselves.

im stopping here as ive got more to say but saying it wont do anything for anyone but me as itll get things off my chest.

Well i didn't know thats y the sever got moved to a cheaper server and it runs the way it runs. I would love to start donating again sometime when i get back on my feet. But for now my 4 kids and wife come first and thats why you dont see me play as much any more. I love this community as a family and hate see it go down the way it is right now.I was just saying what i was hearing on the server to give you a heads up didnt mean to step on anyones toes sorry- KIDDER

[siosios]

no that wasnt aimed at you bud, it was just me venting

I've always gave a damn. I'm sorry that I don't have money to donate but I did donate some of the money when I won that tournament way back when in office. But because I "didn't donate continously and have done so for years" apparantly means "I don't give a damn". that makes so much sense..........

After the two links below this, i'm happy I don't give a damn anymore.

Sios, I would be glad to help in any way I can. You let me know what I can do, and I will do my damnedest to do it. Stand is better with computers than me, but I can learn. We donate all that we can each month. Christmas is coming and as you all know we have a shit load of kids to buy for. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. We love N/U. We want the community to stick around.

Has anyone ever thought that CS:S dead? this game is so old, gamers like me just after you play so long....you just get burned out or other games just come around.

@Siosios I understand your venting, I remember one time we had an admin meeting that everyone was expected to show up for and only roughly half did. And there you was had your 2 girls there with ya wanting you to pay attention to them and you were trying to help the community. But on the other hand saying that only people that care are the donating admins, is just wrong. I never have much money to pay for admin, but I always helped poeple new to the server i was in or the game itself. I know I am not the only person who is like this.

Guys don't get mad at Sios because he's right. Those who donate care. He never said you guys don't care because you don't donate money. You guys donate your time to our servers to help get and keep them populated and help make sure they are running smooth; as soon as a problem shows up the regulars come post so someone can get it fixed right away, without you guys they'd be paying for empty servers which would be pointless. Just because you can't donate 'Money' doesn't mean you don't Donate at all. Admins are nothing with no players, so regulars are just as important. It's just hard to see the servers he worked for years on start to crumble, and the people that "Loved" this community drop out or leave for stupid reasons because some have. On the other hand, there has been some that had to leave for personal reasons; which in itself, is just as hard.

Tib you are important because people love to play with you because they think you are either a beast or a hacker and when they kill you they feel so accopmplished like they've done something amazing.

Well, I don't really know if this is apporiate due to I have no clue but..

Where are you guys in game? Meaning, if life stops your gaming then so be it, but i would say, and again i just came back as well from life issues.. but this community is in defcon 3 right now and needs everyone on the same team.

I see people post on forums, and I know checking forums is easy via Phone, Laptop, Work etc etc, and playing CS:S is usually only at home, but try to make some game time in if you can. This goes towards the admins and the owners as well. Only ones I see daily, and I have ZERO LIFE, i stay home all day, game, smoke weed, and game and game and sleep. Til college in Jan

I see you guys posting, but not playing. With the community so low, I mean 8-16 people is all we can usually get the server going with on a daily basis, with 16-20 being the peak and 8-12 max usually the avg.

also the word guys need to hop in more, and also the bloodred thing, idk whats with that, but that sounds like someone from NU left made a new community, and then well, ill shut up, but ya..

just my 2 cents, since I been around this community for years under m3ow, SapR, or KilrBe3 handles, and been a Admin and life has taken me away a few times, and I never really put roots into the community, more of just a player and observer and your avg high times bloke.

Still no one wants to admit that this game is dieng. I know most will say "CS:S is never die, it was to popular of game to do that." I have noticed it by not only people on my friends list not playing anymore but just the server's being empty all the time. When I first started playing CS:S Dust 2, Office, and DM where always damn near full at all hours. But now I may have max 5 friends on at time and i never see any1 in the servers, This is happening to more communities than N/U alone.

Mmm, but its not really dieing, its just taking a small dip due to Black Ops month. Plus next month will be WoW Cata, but most CSS players don't really play WoW, the hardcore CS playas that is.

CS:S is still hovering around its same spot, just minus one or two cuz of Black Ops, but will return to normal.

In a sense it is, But also in a sense, Im looking at NG server which has 30ppl in at 9am.

I never have any lag issues per say . However I have notice that on most servers but esp n/u I will get pre fired as well as take cover and still take damage after I'm in cover any ideas?
