Greetings everyone! I've already done the introduction (which I believe my post was removed?). I'm interested to hear how we can support this forum. We have a ton of servers (idled) right now, which means that we can host a ton of YOU. As I'm aware there's a mod for this and I'd like to hear if it would be of your interest if we gave this as an option to you? Thanks :) -Henrick

We already have quite a powerful server for us to play with. I believe the only way for you guys to help us is by spreading the word that we exist.

Also, it doesn't look like anyone removed your introduction post.

Hey Niels, Yes I just looked

Hey Niels,

Yes I just looked and it wasn't removed (thanks for reaffirming this).

I'm sure we can work something out. Who is your current server host? And what about all the gamers who wants to create their own to play on? :)

Thanks for the reply first of all

i will say this now, there is no way you have a powerful server for most things. trust me. and if your wondering how powerful of a server i need, im running 6 heavy mod pack servers at a single time with enough ram, processer and hard drive space to run 8 more

ssfdre38: That would be

ssfdre38: That would be something that would have to be paid for of course. We do ~100Gbit of bandwidth a day and we sit on 4 figures of servers. We are not a small one-timer, but we will happily be building and providing the cheapest servers out there if we can get traction on our free servers :)

PS. nice pug ;)

ssfdre38: With over 1000

ssfdre38: With over 1000 servers and buying bulk buyers of hardware, I can guarantee you that we get the cheapest prices on the market. Additionally some of the cheapest bandwidth you'll come across - We don't buy from "resellers" :)

You can have a pic of our server setup at our datacenter in NL :)

If we can get users on our servers we can keep offering free servers; your type of dedicated servers will cost $.

i know its a small vps server on a shared dedi besides i already went to your site and you dont even have specs on the site so why would someone come to you if they cant even know what they are going to use?

Yes, but as explained

Yes, but as explained previously, we meet a 6 figure invoice every month doing other business. We can surely host free servers for people who wants to play :) Our servers are more powerful than the ones offered for free anywhere on the web - That I can guarantee.

For powerful specs; we haven't offered anything like this as we still don't have a stable userbase. This project is as infant as it can get. If we get 1000 people playing on our servers, you can be sure to customize and pay for servers. The chicken and the egg problem, right? :)

Hmm

Well as far as I know it is practically impossible to get me to trust free stuff outside of steam.

Additionally as previously mentioned we would like to support this forum with funding in return for some recognition :)

ssfdre38: If you would direct us to the admin it would be more helpful than trying to "shut us down" without substantial evidence that we won't be able to provide funding for the site in return for some recognition. Collaboration starts with a question and a mutual interest. I would say we fulfill both tickboxes :)

Would you like to purchase advertising on our forum?

I'd like to say what doesnt seem to have bern syated yet, that whatever company this guy is trying so hard to advertise for can't be that good if he has to try this hard to convince someone of how good his service is. Not to mention how shady a URL like "freegameservers.com" and all those passive-aggressive smily faces are.

But I'm sure everyone already knows this.

"Yes we don't show what our specs are but we said we make a lot :) of money :) so trust me for that reason :)"

oh boy

Henrick you seem to be trying really hard to get people to join your server and you won't even show specs or any evidence that your servers are even remotely good. I'm not going to join some random server without any evidence of it being good or not. Also, this fight will probably go on forever unless a staff member locks this thread

I'm locking this. Not because of the advertising, but because of the inevitable drama and flamewars that are going to happen at this rate. 

OP; if you still want to offer some sort of service to this forum, I suggest contact MrSnowGlobe or H4X directly instead of posting a thread.
