Please SEED the Server

[Gone_Away]

Guys,
 
I know we're up against the football at the moment. That's making it very difficult to seed the server and get it going.
 
Looking at the stats, the server has been dead since SDM last Saturday which isn't good. If we expect to get the server going and get people playing we as Admins need to seed the server on a more regular basis.
 
Behind the scenes, I've been working on joining a seeding group but unfortunately as our server is on Multiplay, I was unable to join RFG. Today I've PM'd TL and Pen to enquire about moving our server to Rackage so we can join their seeding group.
 
In addition, I'm trying to get a Multiplay seeding group off the ground myself: http://forums.multiplay.co.uk/bf-bad-company-2/75704-multiplay-bc2-seeding-group-multiplay-bc2-admins-helping-eachother
 
With respect to the server move, I don't think that will reasonably happen if we can not demonstrate that we are willing to seed the server and get it moving ourselves.
 
When we signed up to be BC2 Admins we accepted responsibility to grow the game within the community and most importantly commit to making it work.
 
The majority of us have not even attempted to seed the server this week at all. Outside of Lionheart's effort today, there's been very little activity this week.
 
As I said, the World Cup isn't helping but if we're going to make this work I need your commitment. Please seed the server. Please post that we need more folks to seed it. It does no harm in sitting on the server and playing for an hour or so in a small 2v2 team to get it going.
 
I would like to get things back on track from today and keep it that way. I need your commitment that you will try to seed the server and get it going at least 2 days a week. If you can't give me that commitment then you should ask yourself why you want to be an admin.

I get the impression from the TOGA seeders, that they only join and idle, they seem to have an add on that allows idling for certain people.
Some of them join in the morning and go to work; some other admin kicks em when the server fills up and the space is needed.
Drop a pm to Kreg, Snokio or Zerocool at TOGA, I'm sure they'll know more about it.

TOGA is part of the Rackage Friends Group (RFG). I've tried to join them but as we're on Multiplay they won't go for it. Can't blame them tbh.

Before I forget..

Thanks to all of you guys who tried to get the server going yesterday. Lion said there were some gg's despite the low numbers.

Thanks!

If we can keep it up it will become easier. I'll be on the server later this pm.
