I talked to my host again, and he gave us two different oppertunities. Either, we could get one game hosted for free if we decided to add a top banner to the forums. The other thing we could do would be to pay him $20/month for hosting 2+ games.

In both cases, we could get more games hosted depending on the amount of "resources" they use, so in short, we could host a lot of low bandwidth games if we wanted to, or 1 huge game (2 if we paid). Personally, I think we should pay for the server so we won't have a banner, but then again, it's just a banner, and we get a server for free.

Oh, and by the way, it's a XP 1700 with 1024 ram connected to AT&T with an OC-48 connection. The reason why it will be so cheap is because the server isn't dedicated, 2 other people use it too, even though they're not exactly resource hogs if I put it like that

Ok, listen. BNETD is a 100%, then something else. I think that 20 a mo would be better than a banner... But whatever

If we pay $20/month, we could host BNETD or UT for instance. If it doesn't take much resources, we could add more games.
Those were just examples, but remember that it has to run on a *NIX based system (unix, linux etc).

The software used to run this website is free. Why does he pay for hosting?


He is paying for bandwidth and resources on a server that will be up all the time.

Okay, so do we pay or use a banner?
I'm not too willing to pay the fee myself since I don't really play any online games, but we'll see.

I don't know yet. Maybe we should start a poll and ask people if they would quit the forums if we added a banner.
Actually, we should be able to get a banner rotation system, and maybe get a few sponsors too
