Hello,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am now in need of extra cash. In light of this, im selling off several of things I own in order to make some money. As of now, I am selling a package of 'Tremulous' related things.
Heres what the package will include:
Domains:
SSTCentral.com
Tremcentral.com
Jackpotservers.com
Website:
SSTCentral
SSTCentral Forums
Tremcentral
Jackpotservers
Licenses:
2x IPB Licenses (worth $125/each)
Tremulous Server:
|SST|
Server:IBM E325
Dual AMD Opteron 246 ~ 2.0ghz
2GB Ram
BRAND NEW 400GB HD (worth $80 alone)
1u SERVER Case
Brand New Rails (worth $30)
The server is already preconfigured with all of the settings, including ISPCP which is like Cpanel. The server is colocated in the Volumedrive.com Datacenter. It has 1500GB on 100mbit, or can be switched to 10mbit unmetered. The colocation price is $37.50/month (very cheap and affordable). You can keep it there or move it to a new location.
For the whole package, im looking for $500. Payment can be made via Paypal, Credit Card, or Debit Card. Please contact me either here, via email (confess321@yahoo.com), or on any messenger for questions/comments or how to proceed.
Thank you Tremulous for your years of patronage, I will continue to support Tremulous as long as I can.
Regards,
Meow11/Confess

:o
Wow, hot damn, that's a lot of money to spend on Tremulous servers. But I assume these are high quality servers, even comes with the top-notch websites, so it sounds like a bargain to me. ;D
So, obviously people will have to pay monthly for the websites, I'm guessing? But, is it even allowed for people to sell servers? ???
Right now I assume its okay.
I wish I had 500$ lying around......
-
Might wanna mention where the server is hosted.
-
:'(
confess, how could you abandon us like this? are those "unforseen circumstances" more important than us? (i know they probably are >.> )
-
Server is in Scranton, PA in the Volumedrive Datacenter. Yes, you will pay for the domain renewal and the monthly cost for the server ($37.50). Domains have been recently renewed and are registered at namecheap.com
Expiration dates:
jackpotservers.com - Sat 01/09/2010
sstcentral.com - Mon 03/29/2010
tremcentral.com - Sat 12/19/2009
IPB Licenses cost $25 each every 6 months. You do not need to have a license in order to use their forums i believe, however - Simply, you wont be allowed support/updates until you renew. (Unsure if this is how it works or not though).
-
What mainboard is used on the server?
-
A sad day is upon us :(
-
Hey Google!
How bout taking over the server and rule the vent monkeys? ;-.P
If any regular from SST is willing to chip in: PM me here or use the email adress you might have. I could probably bring in about half or 2/3 of the money.
@Confess
Please don't erase the forums database. Lots of useful threads and I would like to get in touch with a few of the others before it gets erased/disabled permanently. If you need money immediate to keep the server online for another month, please pm me.
(Same goes for the wiki)
-
Sad day, it was long feared.
-
I'll chip in if any of your SST regs takes over.
-
The end of SST.
-
T_T
-
The end of SST.
+1 dickery point.
This is sad, but I predicted it a long, long time ago.
-
I'll consider investing in this.
-
This sad, sad day requires a completely un-necessary and cheesy song, a tribute to SST! ;D
Oh SST, you made us very happy...
Made things less, newbie...
So long we will miss you,
As we regret for calling you poo...
Kinda makes us want to kiss you..( :P)
But your leaving us with shit, and now we're falling down a pit, now we really took a hit, as this feeling seems like spit...
Do you really need money, money?
Don't you see it was sunny, sunny?
Now some of us are now sad, some of us, are now mad...
Please don't go, you were our happy Tremulous glow...
Yea, this song is pretty shitty, you glinted like a golden city...
What a pity, this is shitty, damn you're servers were pretty nifty...
Damn, why does reality hit us hard? This feels like 1-day old lard...
We'll miss you when you're gone, just like dear old Player1...
But your leaving us with shit, and now we're falling down a pit, now we really took a hit, as this feeling seems like spit...

Please don't go, you were our happy Tremulous glow...
This is it, don't go yet, why not have a tourny set?
You really contributed to Trem, made others go "Hot damn!"...
But now someone new will take SST, most likely a rich newbie...
Damn, can't you see? How shitty things will be?

Well, goodbye, and farewell, these few years wre really swell.
You were like a remedy, now we feel sorry...
Good bye, this is tough...
This is when you say, "Now go F*** off!"
We will continue as a Tremulous community, but we will remember....
Your legacy!

Hahaha, lol. You made me laugh Hendrich, that was very nice.
-
That was pretty good. *twitch*
No really, it was.
-
@Confess: Thanks for providing the server and the forums. Good luck in your future endeavors. Take care.
-
This is so sad...
\\^// Jalaco \\^//

i rly need a job :(
if i had a job, i would buy the server.
-
Instead of whining, start gathering money to get the server going!
All it takes is for every regular SST client to donate a small amount of money every month, and Confess should be able to keep this pit of despair running.
Start selling private slots or something...

Confess- this is a sad day. the tremulous community is losing one of its long time supporters. we thank you for all your hard work and we hope you stick around and remain active in tremulous. tremulous is in a down slope - you can argue it but you can't deny it - and it needs all the support it can get. and losing its long-time supporters is a heavy blow.
a little history... for those of you that dont know me, i run the dretch storm game server. what many people dont know is that i started playing tremulous on sst. my brother evilfrog also used to play regularly on sst. one day he pulled me away from starcraft and said "let me show you this cool game" and *BOOM* i got instantly hooked to tremulous. i know some of the old sst regulars and how united their community is. i left almost 2 years ago to build my own community by inspiration from Paradox - but that's another story :)
on a lighter note, the obliter8.com community welcomes their SST brothers. we are here for the long haul, help us build a strong FOSS gaming community. we dont intend to replace SST, but we invite you to continue supporting Tremulous and other FOSS games.
@SST admins: DretchStorm is always looking for capable and fair admins, drop by #o8 on freenode irc or send me a PM on obliter8.com.

Yet, this thread exists...
-
He's saying it isn't enough to keep them in business.
-
Actually the monthly costs are not the problem. It is the difficulty to get together 500 dollar by some random guys on the internet. Also, if Lava had actually read the post Confess made he would have realized that selling the server is not due to monthly payments not being feasible.
But as we all know, Lava only picks things out of a thread so he can pounce on someone and make himself feel superior.

Oh noes, bizzing fund out ur stratejiee, ron lova, RON!
:)
Na, lava wouldn't do that. He was just simply giving out his own soloution to the problem. How could he know the soloution wasn't working already?
-
Obviously, Confess does not have enough money to keep SST running, which indicates more donations would be needed to keep SST running.
-
Confess said he needs money and that's why he is selling stuff that he owns. Since this is a Tremulous forum, the things that he owns that are Tremulous-related are being sold here.
There is no word from him that he is selling SST only because donations are not covering the monthly running costs.
-
If he had already decided he was giving up the server, I wonder whether the latest donations he recieved will be going/have already gone toward the server (as intended) and not toward this bank balance he wants.
Out of interest of course. ;)
-
@Nux
I would not mind my latest donation to end up in his bank. I am willing to believe that he had to pay out of his own pockets when donations did not suffice before. I don't donate regularly. I will just assume that my donation went for a previous month when my ISP was not acting up and I could connect to SST and play.
-
Good to hear. :)
I was, though, referring to those who intended to pay for further time rather than time already spent. All the more reason to think carefully before donating and not treat charity like a service. This doesn't stop it being a point of interest. ;)
-

RE-READ Confess post and think about what you just wrote.
You mix up running a server with selling things to gather additional money for RL. (He obviously owns the server hardware. So, selling it is different to "keep the server going/pay the monthly hosting costs.)
-
What exactly am I paying $500 dollars for?
-
Haven't you read the first post of the thread ?
-
Good Luck on your sale!

*ehem*
Knew it. Saw it. Helped it. Still failed it.
