Hi, I've said this before elsewhere but perhaps someone can clear up why the numbers have increased on DM custom maps 2 server? the server was/ is very popular and I thought it was a stroke of genius to limit it to 16 and redirect to acemod. It seemed to work well and acemod was handy for the few of us who are antisocial sods and like playing in limited numbers, and there are quite a few. Since the increase again in numbers on the primary server I haven't seen anyone at all on acemod in weeks, which is a great shame as we're back to spawn and spray at times. So I have a suggestion which will probably have been asked before, how about making acemod XI only, so you have the choice of both servers but if you want to play with your friends you can. It also gives you the option of avoiding people you would rather not play with for various reasons. I know it is not in the spirit of the game but the fact is we now have an empty server, perfectly fit for use, that is not being used, not good.

Hello my early morning friend, if you want to keep your present settings just in case 'ghosting them' doesn't work keep a copy of this folder and paste it in after loading (same for maps if you want) I do this monthly as I've lost this before, retains all your weapons and changes C/Users/Your Name/Appdata/Local/Activision you need to show hidden files Are you sure you like Scotland?, it's freezing here in UK

??? the UK guys (work permitting) are on regularly from 1030-1100 UK time most days, Deejay, Ricko, Honey and myself and at weekends even more Ghostuplus and Monkie are regulars from 0800, if Beers can't sleep he joins us too, but we've got to be careful not to wake the b...h! shit I shouldn't have said that. In the summer it may not be as regular at weekends as the winter, but most days we're there. What we need to do is register each other as friends then we can see if anyones online, I myself regularly play with the Mid west and West coast members if I wake up early, some of those guys don'tl ike sleep, do you Mike?.

Apart from the fact I'm missing you aaaaaw, I mean it, although I'm new may I make an observation as I've actually played on the servers a long time, the move to split the servers to a max of 16 and redirect was a stroke of genius, it was getting far too crowded and popular, plus a few of us that wanted quiet went to acemod anyway when other server was nearly full. However you have now increased the main server to 22, no one at all is now using the other server and we're back to spawn and squeeze the trigger, I've no problem with that as if there get too many I leave anyway. However we now effectively have an empty server? I'm sure this has been said before and you must have reasons for not doing it, but equally there must be benefits in being XI, so why not make this server members only and the other one open? That way you can play with your friends (I exclude you beers - no knifing) who you play with regularly, it also gives a reason for non members to join?

Why Rob why?? I'm confused?

Thanks all for advice I'll try it now, I've tried adding the IP addresses manually, doesn't work?, my filter settings I'd done like Petes, now I've got to find out what HLSW means and do it

I would like to join in the COD4 servers as a change from WAW and sniper, I loaded my game, installed all the patches, pressed search servers and the only ones I can't see are the XI ones that I wish to join, to save me time what am I not doing? I did some quick research and tried the IP address method, still nothing, will try again tomorrow but I'm sure one of the regulars knows, off to bed goodnight cousins.

I'm no real expert but SSD's don't work like the old drives, you must never defrag and is it really necessary for you to partition?? drives are so cheap now just add another one, I use SSD for OS and large old type, cheap as chips, for storage, Pete G's solution was the one I used for mine and works fine, one thing they don't tell you with SSD and flash drives is their limited storage life for storing information in case you're only 25.

Yea but who did you miss and would love to have seen?? 'you all', getting used to talking to 'you all' now! lol

OK 'you all' (I'm getting there with accent), if you could go back and see one person or group in your youth who would it/they have been, for me it would have to be Zeppelin.

I had some updates from Microsoft a couple of days ago, presume you had them too? although my OS which is the same as yours is fine, try a restore to last time working ok you can always put it back, sometimes works, if it's a modern usb mouse it may be that the drivers were corrupted, try reinstalling, take old ones out first. But while you have these problems fancy a game later??

Yes great days, I saw Jethro Tull in Houston (as well as UK), Ravi Shankar in Boston (which I remember for the pizza afterwards), Deep Purple at the Stadium in Montreal and a little known band then called Lynyrd Skynyrd in Newcastle the UK in 1977, who of course went on to better things, a great shame they were taken from us. In the UK at that period we were blessed with so many great bands, can you believe I turned down free tickets to see Led Zeppelin in 1971 because it meant I had to walk 8 miles home?, now I'd walk 800 to turn the clock back, I saw Free and many more for next to nothing cost wise, if I had to pay what they do now I'd watch tv. I watched Fleetwood Mac get booed from their set because they never played any of their Peter Green stuff, amazing, one year later they ruled the world. I would love to have seen Neil Young, Starship, and Janis Joplin in their early years but it was not to be, music is still a large part of my life, especially electric blues, and you now have all the best artists over there, including some great ones like Rob Lamothe who never got famous, kill you tomorrow, off to bed now.

'Any advice running a company let me have it. ' well HXTR best advice given to me ever was this - if you ever employ people in their eyes you'll always be a c..t!, just make sure you're not a soft c..t! working for yourself is the only true way to riches, contentment and satisfaction, but it certainly isn't easy, especially in the early years, above all the one thing you learn is never trust anyone, sorry but true. I hope you're the next Donald Trump m8.

Where's 'concert' Toes, is it near Orlando?? no the wonder you beat me with that computer lol.

I can't remember yesterday.

Ah how times change, up to 2 years ago my phone never stopped, at any time of day, now nothing - bliss, I used to live an exciting life now quiet, I prefer quiet.

Bike looks great but of course being 'exotica' don't expect it to run too long, especially if it's raining, where do you live?? oh yes - Manchester - hmmm?

Someone sends you messages????? have you told the missus?

I've got a bid in for North Carolina, if I win I'm kicking someone out! PS you're too late we've already sold most of the UK to foreigners.

I liked it with 16 max, 20 is too many now no one ever goes on acemod which is a shame, see you can't please everyone,.

My wife has a seashell on her inner thigh, if you put your ear against it you can smell the sea.

Yes it made me investigate the conspiracy theories surrounding these and what people are reading into these theories, amazing, when Santa Claus turns up with his elves this Christmas could they leave me 6 cases of beer and two cases of rum, then I'll climb on a jet and when at 32,000 feet piss in the toilet, flushing it every minute on the way to the States. This will 'seed' the clouds and contrails with pixie dust, floating to earth, you'll be able to brush this up and sprinkle on your fields of hashish, or whatever drug is bending your mind to think that sinister acts are happening??? You telling me seriously that people are taking time lapse pictures of clouds because they think the governments are seeding them?? for Chrissakes devote your energies to something worthwhile, even trainspotting ranks above this, get out more, meet people talk to them, go for drinks, go to concerts, but filming clouds???????????????????????????????????? Play more COD Signed Santa

Hi Angel great to see you, been playing you forever it seems, but you do need the practice Lol!

Get a new computer - that ones crashed, or a tv or woman, anyway something to stop you staring at clouds, try drinking, if you have enough the sky spins round and round, if you drink enough the same cloud eventually passes you by after going round the world, it's a great way to travel cheaply.

Are you both very bored??
