Dreadlord and I had talked about this maybe a month ago, but now that I've got all the shit at my end straightened out, I can speak up and offer some help - the permanent, FREE kind...
Many of you know who I am, and many of you don't - regardless, I've been playing CSS for a few years now - I cut my teeth over at Team Saints, and then branched off and started doing my own thing (CWDI) - and despite what you may (or may not) have heard about me, good or bad, at the end of the day I love this game, and for the most part, the people who play it - the social aspect of the game is as enticing to me as the game itself, and I think the majority of the people who played at Team Saints, and play at SxG and CWDI feel the same way...
What I can offer you is simple - a free, top-notch server and some associated web-space. Why? You've got a good crew, and a fun, popular server - and please don't take this the wrong way - but you're on terrible, laggy, unreliable hardware with Gameservers (and it shows regularly in your server) and your website and forums could use a nice, non-advertised based home, with a nice, clean URL - sxg.com FTW?
Anyway, I have the room and the resources on my dedicated box, and I'd be happy to help out. And what do I want in return? Absolutely nothing - this isn't going to cost me anything, so you'll no longer need to worry about "donations" or "sponsors" - you can run YOUR server YOUR way -my "reward" will be getting to hop on to a server that is almost always populated when mine is not, and play on said server that will be running on some of the best server-provider hardware money can buy - no lag, no hiccups, no nothing - just CSS the way it should be...
So, the offer is there - take me up on it if you'd like, or tell me "no, thanks" - either way you're not gonna hurt my feelings - I'm too busy berating the nubs and tards that seem to wander into my server all too often - just ask Sho... ;-)
Snork / Jess / Dread - if you want to talk to me personally about this, you can email me at coke@cwdi.ca
Cheers,
Scott (Cocaine&Waffles)
