For members in the US, you don't need to worry - as long as the server stays in the US you will have a good ping. For non-US members you also shouldn't need to worry as we have several servers already hosted in this Datacenter and have had no problems with connectivity. For members in Australia - theres a spider under your mouse mat. The move has nothing to do with being fair and there is nothing fair in what ping you have. Ping is just a pure fact method of determining the time it takes for packets to ping to a server from your location.

lol this is the full circle, the reason people have been trying to get the maps from the maps&mods site is because the redirect was down - in the time it's taken them to get registered and start looking for the mas on there the redirect is now back up

The redirect is not locked at 13kb/s - if you are downloading at that then you are downloading from the server itself. The time frame as is as long as it takes, you may not have noticed but there have been some server issues lately. These things cannot be fixed instantly. Redirect should be operational now, if you are still having problems come back tomorrow and try again.

Should be fine now - I have re-cached the skin set.

Ideally this sort of thing should go to senior and head admins rather than the public forums. If you wish to proceed with this you should open up a PM with a senior and include your information. With complaints/comments about admins you should use a little tact and take the information to the higher powers - it is inevitable that people will jump to defend their comrades.

Or just bypass the username/password and download the files via HTTP: http://gaytech.co.uk/xi/maps/

Should all be back online now.

The direct connect is still there and should still be working, is it not working for you?

If you setup TS according to this walkthrough you will be able to connect to TS or the backup TS server if the main one goes down: http://www.xtremeidiots.com/page/teamspeak.html

I don't handle the map rotation so cannot help with that, you could download the maps from our maps&mods site however.

If you mean servers where you say 'sites' then we are suffering a DDOS attack against the Chicago servers and they will be offline for a bit.

The DDOS has also knocked our redirect offline.

The attack is aimed at the host server rather than our specific servers - the actual target is unknown. Not 'hack' per say, just disrupt them. Most attacks are handled however this one has been large enough for the datacenter to get involved which unfortunately means they are using heavy handed methods to null the attack.

If you consider a DDOS attack the server broken go ahead and think that.. Currently 4 of our servers have been knocked offline, they should be up soon however.

This may help you setup Teamspeak: http://www.xtremeidiots.com/page/teamspeak.html

I would love to go into a room like that just for the experience

I have updated the first post with some information on uploads and downloading.

Nah the same thing happened as before - database corrupted and everyone lost their permissions. Host hasn't bothered to respond to the ticket so we moved. Fuck gameservers.

We are migrating our Teamspeak 3 server to a new host! The change has been made to tackle some of the long term problems we have had with database corruption and lack of support from the previous host with sorting them. Unfortunately it has not been possible to migrate over the users and permissions so we will have to reset them - it has not been long since we had to do this before but as the current database has corruption in it I was unable to copy it over. Connecting to the new server Open your Teamspeak 3 client Bookmarks => Manage Bookmarks Either add a new bookmark or edit your current to look like the picture below 1. The bookmark name, this can be anything. 2. The teamspeak address, this is: ts.xtremeidiots.com:9182 3. Your nickname, this should be your forum/ingame name. 4. The server password, this is 'crappy' as per usual. UPDATE: UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING To mention some changes that have occurred with this change. We have enabled uploading and downloading in some channels. The following are the channels that this is enabled for and who can upload/download. Default Channel: Anyone can download - only seniors can upload. Battlefield 4, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 5, Crysis Wars, Minecraft, War Thunder: Anyone can download - any admins can upload. Admin channels: Any admin can download, any admins can upload. XI Bar, Drama Free, Room 101, Beech: Members and admins can download, members and admins can upload. There is a temporary group that can be assigned to guests called 'Spuds' that will allow guests permission to upload and download from these channels. This can be assigned by head admins or seniors. The uploading and downloading is not for permanent storage and is more of a quick share thing - don't use it to share full videos or anything illegal. common sense stuff really.
