The man is right.. There should be NO poltical talk in servers, is been like this since we got rid of political forum in website..Is a gaming clan folks..Is Not allowed in Cod4 servers that's for sure. Or you guys forget allready that politics and religion cause major issues allready in this clan and put a wedge between some of us members, we had to get rid of them.People still get their political post moved or delete, why should be any difference in servers?

I have to agree Glove. We above all are a gaming site. Talking religion or politics is a fine line to walk and at time it can lead to a heated conversations. Hopefully we can check our sensitive feelings at the door and it can stay on lighter note.

I know I am probably severely outnumbered here regarding politics and religion but I have to say that I do not want to hear President Obama bashed and blamed for everything in the world while I'm trying to enjoy playing COD2. I am not going to mention names and I'm not going to point fingers. I was under the impression that we were not supposed to discuss politics on the servers, if I am wrong about that, please let me know.
 
I'm not trying to get into any kind of conservative v. liberal discussion here. I realize that most members in this clan will no doubt disagree with me. I for one don't think political discussion or Obama bashing belong on a Xtremeidiots server.
 
Thank you

You're not imagining things Dawgy, it has been quiet lately.  Most evenings seem to be ok but days are dead. It is an old game but there is still a loyal following and a number of other COD2 servers are running at capacity, so we need to look at what we're doing and figure out why people aren't playing our servers as much as theirs.
 
As I type this, there are almost 900 active COD2 servers and only 45 of them have 2 or more players. Our server at this moment has 4 people on it, and there are 40 servers more active than ours with between 6 and 62 players.  What are we doing wrong and what are they doing right?
 
Lately when there has been nobody on our servers I've gone to the master list and tried to play on some other servers. Most of them I can't stand because of the mods, but one in particular has some great maps and mods that are very similar to ours and there are always 20+ players on 24/7. They have a large rotation and mix up the game types, so one map will be TDM, the next CTF, then CTFB, and so on. They also use the gunship, helicopter and sentry gun, but unlike ours the cost is much higher and buying one of them can clean you out. Very few of their maps are straight DM and the people who use that server seem to like it that way. The thing I don't like about their server is that nobody talks at all, so there is no chat during TDM and that makes the games more challenging. They also stay on top of hackers and boot them almost immediately. Yes we've had a lot of bans in the last year, but so have all of the clans. For whatever reason the number of hackers has increased lately and everybody is seeing more of them.
 
I like what we have on our servers but the minimal rotation with only a few players at any given time is getting old, and obviously others feel the same way because traffic is low. We need to figure out some way to increase traffic or I'm afraid we won't be around much longer. It's the only game I play and if it goes away that will be the end of my gaming career.

well guys as i have been in this clan for five years now and started playing my damn computer just because of this game... i came onto the server and shit was poppin!! always hard to get into i would hit refresh over and over and over just to wait longer for a spot on the server... eventually i got pretty good at the game and friends with alot of the xi members and awhile longer i got myself some tags... i loved playing this game for years and years.. but it seams nobody is ever on our servers anymore...and the people that do are regulars so im just trying to figure out why? ive got a couple thoughts on why for the most part... one the game is really old... second i think alot of people get banned from our cod2 servers its seams like when i was a admin for 2 yrs and only banned maybe three people for hacking...3 i thinke we need smaller map packs i just dowloaded 4 70mb files just to play and i didnt even have to download the mod..... 4 i think we have to many custom maps we should try to keep them to a minimum.... 5 lets go back to normal i shoot you before you shoot me no gunship or any of that shit... i may be outta place with this but i dont wanna see my server die..

Welcome to the family buddy

Dawgy I believe started a post the other day that seemed to vanish(possibly with the server work) unless I missed it. He basically stated the traffic has been pretty poor on the cod2 server. He also stated he wasn't a fan of some of the server changes.  A reply I had written that I could not get to post. Some of the post is in direct reply to some of the comments.
 
 
 
 
The dm server later followed by the CTF server is what originally drove me here and into this clan. The quality of people did as well. I remember on a nightly basis there would be great ctf games between the time I got home from work until around midnight usually. Usually after that the stragglers would go to the dm server until the wee hours. I am not a fan of all the gadget stuff junking up the server as well. If the server was set up a little more traditional it may draw some of the older crowd. If I wanted to have other things shoot for me or fly planes I would be playing a different game.  Some more events/tourneys may help traffic some as well.  I haven't ran one in some time and need to get busy in that department on a variety of games and cod flavors. Dawgy my favorite non XI server is the outlaw ctf server. It doesn't play with the speed of our ctf mod (which I miss) we used but it is setup really well though. If you want to get in some ctf be sure to xfire me. I go in from time to time and hand out some grief. There is usually good traffic there at most times of the day/night.     64.94.238.161

You are now in God's hands.  Stay strong.  My prayers go out to his family.

Take a min today or sometime in the next week to come and pay your respects to a great man. Boomer made a lot of maps in his final days and for the next week we will have a server only running those maps. Jump in and show the man the love he deserved

Met with another fellow member today while in Germany!. Had a great time and a few good German beers meeting Animal >XI< (Reiner) and his son (Pascal), who translated some for us. Always great to meet others from our clan, so we know who we are shooting or teaming up with!  I look forward to future visits to Germany and hope to meet my new friend again!!
