Don't get too attached to things of old.

Fresh games and a fresh server, as i am wiping my hard drive and starting over. it is long over due.

sure it is a month early but i need to do it while i have fast internet.

My Tradewars server will...

be going down on November 29th till the first of December as i make a move from Saskatoon to martensville

down time

as i am installing the anniversary update for windows 10 the server will be offline for awhile.

just in case

remember if you want to talk to me regarding my server you can either PM me at http://www.classictw.com or at my own forum http://forum.slother3x.info

defraging the harddrive.

i am going to be bringing my server down for some scheduled maintenance. it may be on and off for awhile. i will notify you when it is on for good.

back up.

ok things should be back to normal. if you cannot connect please PM me at the classictw.com forum.

scheduled down time

because of settings i have to change on my home router i am going to have to bring down my home network and disable my tradewars server. if you have been playing i thank you

but note it may not come back up. right away if it does kudos to you for hanging in there.

if you want to play you can.

my address is twgs.slother3x.info and the port is 2002.

Going to try again.

i must be crazy (no surprise there) but i am going to reopen my Tradewars server (Surprise!). this time i am actually am going to let people use scripts and bots. if they don't mind me playing with them. lol.  if they want to cheat i figure i can cheat as well. but this time i am going to use my new Domain name as apposed to my old one.  since my old one is gone and was free. and my new one is paid for.

i will be closing Port 23 on my intranet.

all that seems to happen is some people are trying to logon to a root account that does not exist on my server.

i am getting incorrect caller protocals on my server. and am noticing that no one is even trying to play.

but is trying to run as a root user thinking that i am running linux. too bad i am not.

No Creatures from the cesspool allowed on my server.

Aparrently if you came from the Hyperspace forum you will not beable to use my Tradewars server once i see a hit from there as i will log every address that comes from there as a Hostle IP address and will ban it.

no fast in the past

i guess i could compromise and let people play anyway they want. since i know i am not getting any players that play by hand.

haste makes waist

i restarted the Machdaddy game.

even though i know i cannot apeal to everyone i hope that people will play just like they did in the old days. by hand.

Maybe i won't be able to have the Tradewars community i dreamed of

hosting the game is more work than it's worth. i might not host again if i do't get the kind of players that i used to have when i first played  the game.

i am starting anew.

i just banged my new game called Machdaddy, and it is ready to play. if your having connection troubles please email me.

there has to be a better way!!

if you where a luckey one to actualy get a chance to play my server then you might know that it has been on and off and on again for The last month. i am sad to say it will be off peremently for awhile untill they find a better way to monitor the server software in windows 8.  sorry for those few who cared.

Server down time without my knowledge

i just noticed that my server was down and not responding to connection attempts. i realised it was running as a service but not "started"

so i started it and it is now accepting connection attempts. but i need to check and see if it is accessable outside of my intranet.

Sever back up after disk scan and repair.

hopefully the BSOD is not going to be a problem for A while now. 

down time

because of 2 BSOD on the server i will have to keep the server down untill a chkdsk is finished.

what the heck is happining to my games?

not only do i catch a bot trying to access my server.  but every so often i notice that all my games are deleted.  if this keeps up i may have to bring the server down permently.
