ScrewOA was a good OpenArena server running
DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/ModCompat/CorkScrew]the CorkScrew mod (very nice insta-gib variant), plus some additional features like statistics and very bright skins.
It has been shutted down in these days by the hoster, for the disappointment of its admin (and of the players that liked it).
^TheDoctor^ wrote a post in the thread about the server, asking if there is someone that has got the technical (or financial) resources needed to keep it alive.
Maybe you may have not noticed that post, so I decided to create this thread in the "General" section of the forum, hoping it could be more read.
Can someone offer a new hosting for the ScrewOA server?His post is
here, and I copy it here below for your comfort:
Dear ScrewOA players and community members.
Summary: I have to find a new host for the server ScrewOA. If you want to see this server in operation and have the necessary resources (money and/or a host), please consider to provide a new home for it.
Explanation: On January 31st, I was informed by @spi, the owner of
Baller Bude, that, because of understandable organizational reasons, the host of Baller Bude will no longer be able to co-host ScrewOA (Corkscrew mod on OpenArena, 212.65.13.87:27962). As this server is close to my heart, I don't want it to perish. However, currently, I absolutely cannot afford to host it on my own expense.
Therefore I ask for you help: If you want to keep this server in operation
and have the necessary resources (either a host with available capacities or the money to rent one), please consider to provide a new home for it. I would then offer to install, operate and improve the aforementioned service free of charge.
Necessary requirements:
- a dedicated host (current host was an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.80GHz, 1 GB RAM)
- a decent internet connection (24h/day online, static IP, at least 1MBit up-link)
- a Linux-based operating system (current OS is Gentoo)
- shell access
- full administrative freedom w.r.t. the aforementioned server
Please contact me via PM or write an email to oa.doctor (at) gmail.com for further information. My offer to host these services on a foreign host is valid until March 1st 2011. After that, I'll mothball it.
PS: The server went down on February 2nd
