Thanks to everyone that was able to help me test the settings and diagnose other issues, the frag server is back up and running. The full potential is not yet met, and I had to backtrack the server to 8.1 instead of the 9.0 nightly release, due to some minor ( but annoying glitches.) The rotation is as follows:

1) The Longest Yard Resurrection
2) Over the Top
3) LNA 1vs1
4) Password 2
5) Monkey Island // This map wasn't showing in the rotation, due to some operator error, fixed now
6) Valhalla(Overload)
7) GoldenDunk
8) Tower and Slider CTF ( Classic map, old favorite of the founder of dP) Baserace
9) Valhalla (Original)
10) Close Combat

NOTE the strikethroughs. These have been removed.

As I get a list of dP created maps, I will add them into the rotation for even more fun. Thats where I will need yogi to email me some of his maps. @ Yogi, PM me please, we will chat about this, even if I need to get on xfire or similar.


Notice to others, I am planning to put a couple bots on the frag, so that it will never be empty. As people join, they will be leaving, and the max amount of bots will be 2. This means if there is 1 human, there will be 1 human, 1 bot. If there are 2 humans, there will be 0 bots. Hopefully this will relieve the boredom of an empty server.

I am constantly tweaking the server to kick out little bugs and issues that may be present, so soon the frag server will be running as smooth as it once was. All I need, is for people to play on it and give feedback of issues, e.g. PB lag, PB kicks (for stupid reasons), map changing kicks, etc. This goes for spawn times, maps, etc.

The more feedback I get, the better the server will be. If think it is missing something, it does not hurt to say something. Just make sure you tell me what it is missing.

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! I hope everyone had a good 2009 and look forward to a marvelous 2010.

For Dynamite Planted! Community, it is natural for an aging gaming community to mature and develop into the way it is now. There are plenty of opportunities to reshape and rejuvenate the community back to its glorious days. It is practically impossible for me as the founder and one of the leaders to push this rejuvenating process into full fruitation WITHOUT any of your help.

On the personal note, I am finally gearing up to be my very LAST semester in college. It is only 4 months away until my graduation. It seems so unreal. It is ironic that there was one person who didn't think I could make to my graduation and keep this gaming community alive. That person has lost his own gaming clan to inactivity. I think most of you know who I am talking about, but if you don't, ask me personally in private message. For all of the good reasons, that person was my inspiration to keep fighting and never give up. I want to extend my thanks to him from the bottom of my heart, even we are enemies now.

In addition, some of you may not know, we are entering into the five-years anniversary of this amazing gaming community starting in early March. This is a breathtaking and incredible feat for any gaming community ever taken on. We should be extremely proud of what we have played, worked, and bonded together like brothers and sisters.

The question still remains, and please ask yourself this, "Why do you want to be part of this community?"

Think about the answers from your heart, then figure out how can you take that reason(s) and put into an action. This is more than enough alone to help keep this community going. That is all I ask for from each of you to do your part.

Again, I want to thank EVERY one of you personally for your contribution of effort and love for this community. It rocks because of YOU.

With best regards,

WJS
Founder /Administrator of Dynamite Planted! Gaming Community

aint shit.

On the behalf of Dynamite Planted! Community, I want to extend our thanks and gratitude to our American Veterans including the current folks in the US Armed Forces. Just give them a simple thank, and it will brighten their day. Trust me.
