this guy for real or trolling?
First of all, we're not slaves. We volunteer our free time and work for FREE around here. FOR WHAT? What respect? What recognition? What appreciation? Fuck all! Why? Because there are a bunch of ungrateful bitches around here who like to do nothing but bitch and complain about everything. It's easy to be sitting on your fat ass and complain. Find a fucking solution instead of whining for a change.
Secondly, How many fucking servers have we setup when all interested parties were like "Oh yes we will be playing on this server if you make one" and then that shit sits crickets forever. Is it not a waste of our time? Put yourself in my shoes. What motivation do I have to go take time out of my day to do something for absolutely nothing. We had a scrim server when GO launched, noone used it. We made a scrim server in CSS and gave FTP access to all you guys, yet server was never used. Instead you all went to play on town drunk's server or keeripes can't remember who's server it was. But the one we set up was never used. Do you see where I'm going with this? So I anticipate we make a server and it will just sit here picking up dust on dust2.
Thirdly, I spent a good
TWO WEEKS (not 3 days ) playing CSGO on the new Chicago server. Not once during those two weeks did I play WarZ. I dedicated those two weeks to try to get this server going. I would sit in server forever alone all day doing something else and playing as soon as someone would join. I did countless group events, Plastered the server info all over the forums, annoyed everyone on my friends list by constantly inviting them to join the game. It's funny, you guys like to go play on a full server but when it comes to populating one, noone is up for the job. Not to mention all the time I spent setting up the server. I just feel like I wasted a good 3 weeks of my life. Only to get shit on for not still playing on it today. I don't have much interest in CSGO anymore, but I made a sacrifice and played it non-stop for 2 weeks to help the community. For nothing once again.
I will take this opportunity to announce that we will be shutting down Chicago due to lack of interest from the community.
Lastly. Our favorite Toronto server. Before I get started on this issue, I would like to point out that I replied to every thread regarding performance on the Toronto server. I spent countless hours looking online for a solution, looking for other communities having similar issues, etc. But of course because you don't see me doing all the work, you think I just sit here and ignore all complaints. Let's get the record straight for anyone who still does not understand English, anyone who cannot comprehend what was said in the other threads:
1) The load on the server is PERFECTLY fine (For the less intelligent people, this means that the lag has nothing to do with the box itself)
2) The lag seems to be experienced by some and not by others. If this was related to box performance, everyone would be affected.
3) THERE ARE NO OTHER hosts in Toronto. We have tried them all over the years.
4) There are several other communities who experienced the same lag issues. This is because the problem was created by valve. Hence why the server ran fine one day and the next was aids. There was no change on our end that caused a decrease in performance.
5) The higher ping experienced depending on which ISP you use is caused by routing from the host/ISP. Again nothing we can control.
So what can be done? Nothing. Bail from Toronto and go Chicago. Wanna sacrifice losing all IPs, starting from scratch once again and not have the local toronto ping. Then fine, let's get a chicago server and call it Toronto Darkly and call it a day.
I am getting fed up to be honest and feel like my days here are numbered. Very few people here appreciate any of the work we do. Some of the OGs who play no community supported games anymore are scaring all new members away. Everything we do is scrutinized. We are barely hitting donation goals, ad revenues are down. We are eating up all our reserves due to a deficit. You know what happens when reserves run out? When you can't pay your bills, they pull the plug on you.
Genesis Gunblade I appreciate your generosity and donations, but it's unfair for you guys cough up so much money while everyone else gets a free ride, you two bailed us out more than once. It just seems like noone gives a fuck anymore since CSS died. So why should I give a fuck?
