I've really never seen any behavior like that Codarob, but calling a one day old map a "playground for 10 year olds" is probably not a great way to make friends either.
Anyhow, yes it's full but after the upgrade I'll be doing soon (it is currently delayed) this should no longer be an issue.
If you really want me to quote him, you would be disgusted. It is deplorable. And sadly, people back him up on it.

Also;
I request photographic evidence or I'll be forced to state that what you claim to have occurred, did not, in fact, transpire at all.
Could you PM me the mod name and what he said so I can look into it? I don't want players feeling unwelcome. We log everything, but for precisely that reason it's really hard to find a particular event without a quote.
And if it's Frosty, people probably back him up because they know that 90% of what he says is hardly serious. It's part of his personality. Also there's a bit of that "I'll back you because you is a mod" you get on any server, but that doesn't make it alright if it's over the top. Please PM me and I'll relay the information to the appropriate people so a decision can be made,
The downtime tonight is being extended for the majority of the evening. You might as well go to bed. This will result in a much better server come morning!

It's up now, but there are some potential kinks in the porting to the SPARC architecture. For those that don't know, a SPARC is not an x86 processor, but a RISC based processor more similar to an old PPC apple than a PC. Sort of somewhere inbetween to be honest. Until all plugins library files are completely recompiled, I have to rely on emulation, which means we won't get full performance at first. Still, it should be much better. :smile.gif:
Those kinks are way too big. We're going back to our old server until I can get them worked out, I need to both get more ram and recompile some libraries so we don't have to emulate. I expect it to perform better in 2 days, when we will attempt the switch again.
The SPARC kinks have mostly been worked out. The emulation I was using was forcing single-threading, which on a 24 core server means we were getting 1/24'th of the performance possible. :smile.gif:
We'll be trying it again in a few minutes, after a small revert due to an exploited glitch.
Great server, horrible players. Some seemed to be affected by "bugs" quite a bit. So if you like getting raped by sg while invisible go ahead and join :biggrin.gif:
Although the SPARC didn't work out, we're working diligently to upgrade.
Donations have been very generous! We have a brand new POWER5 coming within the next week!
This means BETTER performance than even the SPARC, even though we will only have a handful more slots.
We are very low lag already, but our european users need some love too. The POWER5 will be able to handle all data and keep internet usage to a minimum for low ping. Woot.

Probably.

We are currently upgrading our server from a quad core xeon to an IBM Power5.
I know performance is already great, but now it'll be even better, with more slots!
Woot.
