Original post: Dear SG players and community members.
Summary: I have to find a new host for the servers Special Bude,
Terra Nova, and possibly also for
ScrewOA. If you want to see these servers in operation and have the necessary resources (money and/or a host), please consider to provide a new home for them.
Explanation: On January 31st, I was informed by @spi, the owner of Baller Bude, that, because of understandable organizational reasons, the host of Baller Bude will no longer be able to co-host Special Bude (SG1.0, 212.65.13.87:27961), Terra Nova (SG1.1b4 map test server, 212.65.13.87:27963) and ScrewOA (Corkscrew mod on OpenArena, 212.65.13.87:27962). As these servers are either close to my heart (SB, ScrewOA) or provide an important service to the community (Terra Nova), I don't want them to perish. However, currently, I absolutely cannot afford to host them on my own expense.
Therefore I ask for you help: If you want to keep these servers in operation
and have the necessary resources (either a host with available capacities or the money to rent one), please consider to provide a new home for these servers. I would then offer to install, operate and improve the aforementioned services free of charge.
Necessary requirements:
- a dedicated host (current host was an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.80GHz, 1 GB RAM)
- a decent internet connection (24h/day online, static IP, at least 1MBit up-link)
- a Linux-based operating system (current OS is Gentoo)
- shell access
- full administrative freedom w.r.t. the aforementioned servers
Please contact me via PM or write an email to oa.doctor (at) gmail.com for further information. My offer to host these services on a foreign host is valid until March 1st 2011. After that, I'll mothball them.
PS: The servers went down on February, 2nd
.
PPS: AFAIK, Baller Bude itself will not be affected from this migration and I'll also remain in charge there and continue to administrate it, together with @spi and Doppel.
