Squidly I believe you were handling this? If so, please let us know when they start allowing new servers as I'd like to contribute to the costs, as well as the Ventrilo.
Thanks,
Scott

FYI:
MY STEAM ACCOUNT WAS HIJACKED. If you see me... it's not me.
Really? You'd think NutsMcCrakin of all people would be like uber IT security unhackable.Quote:

Ya, it's damn strange. I got the 'Your e-mail account has been updated' note from Steam. Odd... I didn't change it. Went to log on to steam and my password didn't work. DAMN! Had to create a new account and open a ticket.
I'll let you all know when they open up server creation again. I've been assured by Hypernia support that we'll get credit for this inactive time.
Note that Vent also comes due on March 25. I will post a "joint" request for donation when I renew the Vent box. Thanks for the interest - it'll definitely be sweet when we have a server to call home. :)
I will kick in also. They run about 40 bucks a month for a 32 person server?
I remember sitting around during work playing admin on our DC server using the remote console. Dude, everyone loved playing on our box because we had fair rules and enforced them.
P.S. Steam has reset my account so I'll be downloading everything again tonight.
P.S.S. Don't download the Windows 7 Genuine Advantage work around from piratebay. Virus free but it created it's own rogue svchost.exe that then allowed some shitbag on fios.washdc to steal my steam account. The first time I've ever played with pirated OS's.... never again. I rebuild back to my legal Vista. Yes, I'm a dumbass.
Having our own server would be awesome. I would also be willing to fork over some cash to help support it.
DC was amazing amounts of fun. They have a smaller 4 person mode for BC2 called squad deathmatch. Perhaps a medium for competitive play?Quote:

My wife works for MS, give me a yell we can hook you up legally. We have sent a few out to Kidd and Azalyn for 50 bucks (Windows 7 ultimate).Quote:

(& Sedi, I'd love a piece of that action too if you have yet another spare license)
I use CPORT to monitor all of my TCP/IP connections and I noticed a number of connections going to a computer called 'XBOX' on a fios account in Wash DC. I didn't have bittorrent running so I knew that it was odd. I then used Process Explorer and saw a svchost.exe kicking off every 10 seconds going to an odd IP. I looked at the details for the svchost and saw that was referencing a .vbs. Putting all of this together I realized that I had a seriously problem.
I disconnected from the network. Ran a full virus scan. Found nothing. So I rebuilt using my legal VISTA, changed all of my passwords for everything and started over.
The MS Employee Purchase Plan that my company offers is good/bad. Good = I can get MS Office 2007 Professional for just $9. Bad = I only get a $5 discount off Windows 7.
Downloading a bootleg Windows 7 was risky and dumb and I got popped. Anti-Virus can't protect from stupid.
Can I get a copy of MS Office 2007 for $9? :kiss:
Send me a PM if any of you guys/girls want the 7. You can get Ultimate, which is $50 or Home which is around $10 (I think, it is a lot cheaper than Ult). It comes with the 32 or 64 bit options.
you got lucky. Someone had a solid back door like that,and used it to hack your Steam account? That could have been much much more expensive.
I'm going to follow those same steps. No pirated software, but this topic isjust spooky.

Do they still serve meals? My last flight to California nothing but 1 drink.
I remember it was Camel that took the bullet for Kidd to break thought but who remembers something like that 5 years later :PQuote:

Are there gadget forms of these programs?Quote:

(Never mind, looks like Red means a terminated program)
