			<description><![CDATA[I know most might think TS isn&#39;t a big part of this community, but without Vadavaka my clan FnS wouldn&#39;t be here.  And actually, three of the members are senior admin and three are also junior admins of this community.<br />
<br />
I&#39;m proposing that we convert the NS server to another TS server.  Seeing as the NS server is rarely used.  This new server would most likely, not be a conventional TS server, but would be running the &amp;quot;THe One Mode&amp;quot; game style.  On our current server, we try to run this mode every friday, and when we do it is packed the majority of the time.<br />
<br />
Another reason this issue has risen to my attention is threads at the offical TS forums.  People continue to complain about how all the servers are either 24/7 Lobby or Roleplay servers.  If Vadavaka introduced a &amp;quot;TOM&amp;quot; server, it would be different and I think packed most of the time, seeing as people are wanting something different.  <br />
<br />
I&#39;m hoping we could help out the TS community, like Vad did with the RC community.  Harder of course, since TS is bigger, but still same idea.  At the current server, we have many regs which I urge to come to the forums and become apart of the community and maybe with two servers, people will recognize the presense of Vadavaka in the TS community.<br />
<br />
Thanks guys.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So I&#39;m just sitting here staring at the steam Play Games window and see HL Source and above that coming soon DOD Source. Not sure why I didn&#39;t think of this before, but how is it they are selling a port of a game that someone already has? <br />
<br />
Example. I have half-life. Now HL: Source is the exact same game except with &amp;quot;physics&amp;quot; and is &amp;quot;nicer&amp;quot; looking? And they are charging people for this. <br />
<br />
Wait, no. They aren&#39;t. Because the only way you can get it is to buy gold or silver from steam. You can&#39;t just buy DOD Source alone. So... Lets say you bought hl2 retail and you want DOD Source, you&#39;re SOL now because the only way you can get it is to register a new steam account and purchase GOLD or Silver on steam. <br />
<br />
So now you&#39;re like, well maybe I will just sell my single HL2 account to someone so I can buy silver or gold just for a game that is the same but with physics and nicer graphics. But steam says &amp;quot;NO&#33; ONLY WE CAN MAKE MONEY MUAHAHA&#33;&amp;quot; I think they even mentioning about deactivating that account. Being a good person you don&#39;t sell the account because it would be unfair to the buyer. Now you have two accounts, one with HL2 and another with HL2, DOD Source and Half-life source... So one is just a waste because you wanted only 1 game and it cost you more than your retail HL2..<br />
<br />
I don&#39;t even know why they put Half-life source on my games if I can&#39;t purchase JUST that game. I know its for the people who didn&#39;t buy HL2 though.<br />
<br />
They really are trying to get their money&#39;s worth out of this source engine. Im surprised they gave cs<img src="https://vadavaka.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif" alt="Confused" title="Confused" class="smilie smilie_13" />ource with HL2..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I figure it is easier just to quote Stefan&#39;s email than to try and give you a synopsis of the changes.<br />
Those computer geeks in our mist will appreciate the changes that HOLDOUTS is incorporating for our benefit, the rest of you will notice the difference when you play. <br />
<br />
Thanks to HOLDOUTS for taking care of his clients<br />
GRITS&#124;VAD<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Hello,<br />
<br />
As many of you know, Holdouts has servers located at two co-location<br />
facilities in Columbus, OH. One facility is oar.net (all the game servers<br />
currently run there) and the other is enterzone.net (most of the TeamSpeak<br />
servers run there).<br />
<br />
We (when I say we I am referring to Holdouts and glorb.com - we are kind of<br />
like partners) are in process of bringing in our OWN OC-3 connection with<br />
Williams Communications Group (<a href="http://www.wiltel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">www.wiltel.com</a>). They have a solid network<br />
and even have a SLA for latency (less than 55ms anywhere on their network).<br />
We had to purchase our own Cisco router (they aren&#39;t cheap let me tell you)<br />
and enough spare parts to replace anything that could ever go wrong with it.<br />
Besides the OC-3 connection with Williams, we are also going to have the<br />
router connected via OC-3 connection to a enterzone.net router. This will<br />
provide a mutli-homed (multiple carriers) connection. Enterzone.net has<br />
connection with AOL (and couple other carriers) which is good for all the<br />
RoadRunner folks (like me). This router will only be hooked to our stuff. So<br />
all that bandwidth is for us. Besides improving our connectivity, this will<br />
allow us to also lower our price per megabit.<br />
<br />
So why am I telling you this? Because we are moving most of our servers<br />
from oar.net to enterzone.net. This means your IP will probably change. Even<br />
if your particular box isn&#39;t moved, your IP may still change because we are<br />
going to shuffle people around. In order that you never have to remember an<br />
IP again, we have created DNS names for the servers. So now wherever you<br />
have hard coded the IP (ftp, game itself, gamespy, etc) for your game<br />
server, you need to use the DNS name. The DNS names are currently working,<br />
so please use them now. You still need to use the port numbers. We won&#39;t<br />
change those if we move you.<br />
<br />
For your servers on IP:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 	Please now use DNS:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I figure it is easier just to quote Stefan&#39;s email than to try and give you a synopsis of the changes.<br />
Those computer geeks in our mist will appreciate the changes that HOLDOUTS is incorporating for our benefit, the rest of you will notice the difference when you play. <br />
<br />
Thanks to HOLDOUTS for taking care of his clients<br />

<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Hello,<br />
<br />
As many of you know, Holdouts has servers located at two co-location<br />
facilities in Columbus, OH. One facility is oar.net (all the game servers<br />
currently run there) and the other is enterzone.net (most of the TeamSpeak<br />
servers run there).<br />
<br />
We (when I say we I am referring to Holdouts and glorb.com - we are kind of<br />
like partners) are in process of bringing in our OWN OC-3 connection with<br />
Williams Communications Group (<a href="http://www.wiltel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">www.wiltel.com</a>). They have a solid network<br />
and even have a SLA for latency (less than 55ms anywhere on their network).<br />
We had to purchase our own Cisco router (they aren&#39;t cheap let me tell you)<br />
and enough spare parts to replace anything that could ever go wrong with it.<br />
Besides the OC-3 connection with Williams, we are also going to have the<br />
router connected via OC-3 connection to a enterzone.net router. This will<br />
provide a mutli-homed (multiple carriers) connection. Enterzone.net has<br />
connection with AOL (and couple other carriers) which is good for all the<br />
RoadRunner folks (like me). This router will only be hooked to our stuff. So<br />
all that bandwidth is for us. Besides improving our connectivity, this will<br />
allow us to also lower our price per megabit.<br />
<br />
So why am I telling you this? Because we are moving most of our servers<br />
from oar.net to enterzone.net. This means your IP will probably change. Even<br />
if your particular box isn&#39;t moved, your IP may still change because we are<br />
going to shuffle people around. In order that you never have to remember an<br />
IP again, we have created DNS names for the servers. So now wherever you<br />
have hard coded the IP (ftp, game itself, gamespy, etc) for your game<br />
server, you need to use the DNS name. The DNS names are currently working,<br />
so please use them now. You still need to use the port numbers. We won&#39;t<br />
change those if we move you.<br />
<br />
For your servers on IP:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 	Please now use DNS:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Does anyone play Day of Defeat ?<br />
<br />
Perhaps a forum could be set up to talk about it?  I&#39;ve only just started playing it but I find it quite entertaining.<br />
<br />
I&#39;ve never looked at the game before but I bought the &#39;Silver&#39; Half life2 pack and the game appeared.  <br />
<br />
Do people feel strongly against playing war simulations?]]></description>
