Yes, it was a hint for you to search the forums first yourself before asking one of us to find a solution for you. We're not paid to do this, ya know.

If you look under the "Server" section, you'll find this sticked at the top:

now if anyone would actually HELP me please do so
since people cant think for them selfs (Aelita, Kiwi, Conzul) i will explain
i searched THIS site and google and did not find what i need so plz help
thanks to those who care ;)
-
how about exactly what the console says(all of it not 1 line here and there) then we can look into what your issue may be
-
"no address associated with hostname" sounds like you fucked with /etc/hosts or changed the hostname and didn't fuck with /etc/hosts.
Make sure that localhost and your hostname are in there pointing to 127.0.0.1 and ::1
-
are you using router?

Fuck you bro. When we get tons of threads being started about the same thing, we tend to get upset when people don't search first. You come around here with some half assed question where you don't even bother to look up the full error you received. I gave you the most helpful link I could think of based on what you told me. You were having troubles setting up a server, and I showed you a guide to set up a server. So why the fuck do you want to insult me? Did you even read the guide I linked you to?

Wow you guys are real jerks. Someone asks a question and you go off on him like elitists. You are the kind of people that got picked on in school so you take it out on someone that is not as coding literate as you. I am very disappointed that the mod called him an idiot too. I read everything including the links, and you guys really are jackasses. And by the way is there something wrong with being Gay, or you are just out of the closet bigots! Saying Faggot is extremely derogatory, bigoted, and considered hate speech. You better be careful who you say that to in person. I know I or any of my friends would not take that crap.
Personally I have searched Google and the forums myself, and came upon this one, and because you guys are sick of people asking the same questions, just move the topic to the correct one or direct him without putting him down. it is hard to search when you do not know the right wording to search for, for I have been doing it myself for the last three days. I did not see him say or do anything wrong, and most of you pounced on him and used vulgar language thinking that is what makes you a Man. Well it does not, for it is obvious you are over compensating for something. A Man has no need to use vulgar language, because he knows he is better than that.
I got a lot of friends interested in Tremulous, but because of reactions like this, it is better probably to go to the paid services where they they treat people better, and do not call people idiots for asking important questions.
WoW use to have the same problem with jerks like you elitists whom would not allow certain people to join their raids and learn. Everyone is suppose to know right from the start. It is like they did not have growing pains themselves, including you guys right? Well WoW fixed that and made it random raids so everyone could have fun and not just the hardcore computer jerks.
I have a lot of friends and got them to play, but because of this kind of treatment to newcomers, and from servers admins too, maybe we are better off finding a new PAID service where they treat their people better.
It does not matter if you are getting paid or it is volunteer you do your job responsibilities the same. if you do not like it, than don't do it, but do not put others down because of something you choose to do. I volunteer a lot for charities, and I put more into that than work, because I like it and am helping people. It does not seem you want to help people, but just wait like jackals to put another newcomer down. You should be ashamed of yourself, and you said what you said to him to my face, you would be on the floor. Go ahead and hide behind your computer of your no social life this.
I also read the forum rules, and you Mods are breaking them. Is it do as I say but not what I do? So no one can harass , put down others, or swear but Mods can?
It is obvious you guys are young and immature.
-
he asked for help and gave no useful info on his problem the users tried to help the best they could(asked if he is using a router David asked about his hosts file people posted info about setting up a server etc) but the he clearly didn't want to fix his problem
mods cant do anything they gotta follow the rules too i can do exactly what your face did and not get in trouble
lol painfreeyour face idiot lololololol
lighten up its the internet a few bad names never hurt someone and im sure the mods would step in if needed
anyway this topic is months old why resurrect it
-
If that is the case than why was this forum not closed? I was not resurrecting for i did not ask anything, and obviously did not want to get the same kind treatment he did. I came upon it looking and doing a search for an answer, but instead was horrified by many of the posts, and the Mods joining in like sheep. It as much as that I was doing a search on I think the same problem he was asking help for. Some, very few were helpful, while the rest were sarcastic, and jerks. I stand by everything I said.
Yes a few bad names do hurt, specially when you are suppose to be responsible for something. A few bad names get people fired in my line of work. A few bad names can send people to jail if it contains hate speech, and than something happens to that person. Would you like me to go on? Stick and stones can break my bones, but bones heal, skin heals, but names and mental abuse lasts forever. Remember that. So Faggot is harmless and ok to say? This is extremely derogatory, bigoted, and considered hate speech, yet the Mod did nothing about it.
I am also glad that you saw no problem with many of the posts on this forum and take it so lightly. If that truly is the case, than you are as sick as them whom said the vulgar things.
-
You may also think I may be overreacting. I do not think I am, because I expect more out of human beings and expect them to act at a better level of civility. What is real is that so called "Faggots" Gay kids have sky rocketing suicides. That is not funny, and do you think some name calling was harmless to them? i do not think so, so yes I am extremely upset by the vulgarities that were used, specially such a hateful word as "Faggot" and nothing was done about it. Do you think there is something wrong with being Gay? What if I said I was gay? I am sure many posters here are gay, but to afraid to say anything, because of what they read, and maybe the ones killing themselves.

Oh man, Aquarius, you're going to have some real trouble when you travel the internet.
I do not mean to put you down in any way, but the fact is this:
The internet is not nice. The internet is flat-out ugly. Mean. Assholes, if you will.
As long as there is anonymity on the web, people will be mean, and snarky, and sarcastic, and whatever else tickles their bum at the moment.
Getting called names on the internet is the same as calling names on the internet. With the barrier of the internet between two people, words become almost meaningless. Now, this may not be true in more "real" interactions, such as social networking sites, but let's limit the scope to games.
Getting called names in video games/video game forums is part of the territory. If you have any illusion that this is not the case, FPS gaming is not the place for you.
In this particular case, he received a legitimate response from Kiwi and proceeded to insult him.
Now, asking a question because you're too lazy to use Google is bad etiquette. Insulting the few people nice enough to answer anyway is asking for a verbal beatdown.
People like him would be flamed, trolled, and probably banned in most forums that I know of.
Now, as per your stance on the usage of "faggot", I have two points to make. The first being: Si was obviously to be ignored. In fact, it was pretty obvious that he likely didn't even read the whole thread before posting. The second is, you make no differentiation between the use of "faggot" as a personal attack and the use of "faggot" as a general insult. Being gay and having gotten in a few scuffles over it in my time, I know how much it hurts to be called a "faggot" as a personal attack on your beliefs and your person. This was obviously not one of those cases. This was internet name-calling. Si had no way of knowing his sexual orientation to make such an attack in the first place, let alone the intention to seriously emotionally attack someone like that.
I think it's probably around time to either lock this or move it to Off-Topic now. :P
-
I'm sorry, Aquariuscomfort, but you do have a tendency to come across as a fairly run of the mill indignant 11 year old, firmly convinced of their own maturity and manners, and getting in a strop every time their self-righteous and over the top approach to personal interaction lands them in a spot of bother.
It's polite not to raise topics from the dead, especially when you're doing so only to poke at the ill treatment of someone who, like you, has failed spectacularly to get the hang of interacting with people on the internet and incurred some justifiable abuse as a result of their own bad attitude.
-
and the Mods joining in like sheep.
Actually, I have't been a moderator for very long, but I believe this is the part where the topic gets a lock. If you have any more problems while browsing the Tremulous forums, which you probably will, please do not open up a new topic, but instead PM the members you have issues with.
Welcome to Tremulous.
