we had some weak points but our strong points definitely stood out man...i had fun and caught a buzz, wasnt asking for anything else lol

I don't like being Captain Buzzkill, but I had a couple of messages on MSN when I got home from work today from the regular users. I don't mind you guys using it, but err, I think we need to tone down this extra-long, nightly use we've been doing the last couple of nights.

Maybe one or two hours a night, and some extended sessions every now and then. The "regular"-regular server users are kinda uppity. Sorry.

I kind of figured that'd happen after I saw this thread blow up 2 nights in a row

Yarrrr.

Yeah - I think it's about time we start to figure out how to pay for our own server. It's great that Jake has been so gracious with the one he and his friends own, but honestly - there's no way I'd have abused the server like you gentlemen did the last few nights.

Though, I'm sure the sets were massive

ohhhh WOOPS, thats not so much a buzzkill as a reality check man...sorry about that, as greg said, maybe we got a bit carried away?

i'd be willing to make some form of contribution but im still a noob with the broadcasts so start throwin some suggestions guys lol

Purchasing our own shoutcast server would be a start - and if enough people threw down loot, it'd be relatively cheap.

The only problem would come when people wanted to play at a certain time, or if people who didn't contribute were told they couldn't play - something I really don't want to happen.

I don't know - it's Jake's call as it's his server, but honestly - is it that hard to courteously use something someone else has loaned you?



If it were my server, I'd have probably been a bit more upset than Jake was. Bandwidth is expensive - I've definitely looked into it, and know that I can't afford it.

Actually, Rob, it's not based off of bandwidth. Just check out the Fast Serv website. However...

There used to be radio done on an IRC channel through a server that a UKTA hosted. Now that that TA is no longer paying for the hosting, Nou stepped-in and purchased his own server. The only real use it gets is through us TAs who use IRC. Nou is more than willing to let us use it whenever we want for however long we want, providing we keep all of Saturday free for the weekly IRC radio we do.

20 slots for listeners at 128kbps. It's almost identical to what we've already been using, but without the hassle of non-TA folk.

Dude, let it go - we asked both times, I was online the whole time if there was an issue, and we had no idea there was an issue in the first place.

Sheesh.
