I've put this in the admin section for obvious reasons
I was a little disappointed, to say the least about the racing last night as it made me wonder whom dMw were organising the racing for. (I know, ending a sentence with a Preposition).
The server was oversubscribed and dMw drivers were refused entry, whilst drivers from another group were there in numbers. Don’t they have their own server? They appear to enjoy our server so much I’m surprised they don’t subscribe to dMw, or perhaps they do.
I’m all for inter-group rivalry and racing but if we want to encourage new members into our community it must be counter productive to have entry barred to people who have been on our server every night for a week (kingofthekittylitter springs to mind), let alone stalwarts such as Oldie, o000o and Seany left wallowing in the ether. It’s no good advertising our wares if we can’t fulfil the expectations of those we attract.
We have really expanded in the past few months, with the game nearing 100% capacity, so perhaps its time to think of adding another instance of LFS to our server (and give Doorz server a rest ;-)) eg .Dead Men Racing 2.
:2cents:
Running 2 servers in any game has always been a problem. I know from my CS days No one likes being on the extra server with a couple of people on, while the main server in full.
It's Ron call, but even if we PW the server on Thursdays it would still be open to anyone that has resisted on the forum.
one thought would be to run a 2nd hour race on another day.
As I said on Ventrilo - we ask for people to join us so we can't complain when they do. This is the first time we've had a lockout of our own members so we need to monitor it over the coming weeks.
In all honesty - my fault for getting there late.

Ditto.
Sorry Bob, I was just keeping it warm for you but you didn't return :crying:good job I justified it by getting some points or I would be feeling really bad right now.
My view is pretty much the same. CS server has 20 spots, don't know what CoD has, prolly the same_ish. If you don't get on CS early you wait....and wait. :rolleyes: I'm of the opinion that nothing changes. We try to attract people so we can't really tell the to sod off when it suits us. I appreciate it's a B when you get discoed but that's the interwebs for you. I can increase the number of admin slots but if we continue to be so popular someone will always be disappointed. btw, the second server is on Meathook not my server.
EDIT: There is a maximum of 8 admin slots which I have increased it to. Best I can do.
