Ok guys, I got bored and decided to greenlight the server, its now running heres the server information:

The server is on a dedicated 25mbit line in chicago, IL USA (sorry to those who are overseas, we'll be working on that very shortly)
The rate is currently 66 and will probably remain as 66.

This forum is the only place you may post reguarding the server unless noted otherwise in the future.

Before the server can be offically out of beta we need to have a final decision on what plugins get used, what maps should we have, the mapcycle, and staff.

DO NOT ASK TO BE STAFF ON THE SERVER OR IT WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC NO

SirTiger and I will chose the staff via PM.

List the maps you want in here and they will go through a 3 day poll. Majority gets the vote.

During the servers beta i will constantly be monitoring the server on and off the server.
Have fun!

Thats a good idea!
I'll see if i can get a UK server online for srcds.com

-Paul

Works for me, 2 servers in the US, 2 servers overseas, now we need AU and pacific area (russia, malysia, china, japan, etc.)

I do want to wait to launch other servers though, once this server goes live and all the bugs are worked out (stats, etc) then we'll move on to an overseas one (UK/DE) servers just so we don't have a bunch of clutter know what i mena?

Wow that's quick

nice job.

As for plugins:
A standard admin plugin like Mani or Beetlesmod or sonething like that, known to the masses. I think that's all you need on a server really. Other stuff just hits preformance and mostly just bullshits around and does nothing that adds something to the server
For the maps:
I would use normal popular Valve maps. No customs, I think the server should be playable by everyone, having to download stuff mostly pisses people off and they leave. Since we might have 2 servers you can add custom maps to the second server or something like that.

That's what I think about it.

Well, i would like each server to be different, and any custom maps will be put on the server, same bandwidth yes, but won't from the server so it shouldn't hurt performance. Either that, i'll do it from a site hosted on layeredtech servers.

As far as admin plugins go, i might use mani, though there is another admin mod i remember seeing on the forums for sourcemm plugins, I may try that.

EDIT: Well, I tested the server out for myself, i don't have the best hardware at the moment client wise, but it still felt pretty smooth, ratetweak seems to be working good. Can't wait to hear what others think on it.

Alright, heres an update on the server, its running pretty much perfectly. srcds.com just got accepted as a team for steambans and I have installed the plugin. I need everyone to test out the server and give me maps to upload. I will give further instructions on how to look for cheaters and what to do if you think someone is cheating.

Thats awesome, will have to drop by with my IA crew to test it out.

I can join but can't play pro lol
ping is 120+ for me cause I'm in Holland

Can someone in Europe ping this IP for me, please: 85.17.36.66

Tell me what you think of it.  I can host a European SRCDS.com server from there, if you guys would like.

10ms average from Holland on IP 85.17.36.66

I have closed the server temp. It will be reopened from sponsorship of insomniac servers, which is a division of another GSP I work for. More details will be coming soon.

Are people actually playing in the server or is it Ghost town?

13:17:29 L 10/01/2006 - 13:17:23: [SBSRC] Checked 35 ID's, and banned 0 ID's during server uptime.

I was on it eailyer but no one eles was i was waiting to see if anyone eles joins ^^ this is the ip right - 64.71.161.10:27015 ?

Maybe you could add some surf maps to it ^^ like surf_rebel_resistance_final2 Very popular map!! if you make it that 24/7 with deathmatch it will propably nearly full all the time!!

I'll work on it once we get the new server up.
