New Dedicated Server08/18/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys,
Some of you might have noticed that there are new servers out there on the lists. At first I named them #2, but now they are Central US.
The reason is that I have ordered a Dedicated Server from ThePlanet.com
It is located in Houston, it is a Dual Xeon (5405) Quad Core (8 CPUs) @ 2 ghz, 4 gb Ram, and 2 x 150 GB SAS 10K rpm hard drives. We are on a 100 mbit line. I have tested the upload speed at one site so far, and the server uploaded at 8 megabytes per second.
I have full control of this server and I can install anything I want, but this will be fully dedicated to our Game Servers. We can even install other game servers like COD4, BattleField, and any kind.
I think this server can handle 8-16 servers at 32 slots, or 8 servers at 64 slots.
Maybe we can make a zombie server 50 slots, we can do whatever. But for now I have made more TF2 Servers. There is a nice chunk of us that are benefiting from the ping to that server so feel free to play there. It will get a lot more popular soon.
I have made another 2fort, Dustbowl , Goldrush and Orange Low Grav Server, so here are the IPs:
74.53.95.98:27015 Gib$Ru$ - 24/7 2fort Central US -HLstatsX
74.53.95.99:27015 Gib$Ru$ - 24/7 Dustbowl Central US -HLstatsX
74.53.95.100:27015 Gib$Ru$ - 24/7 Goldrush Central US -HLstatsX
74.53.95.101:27015 Gib$Ru$ - Orange | Low Gravity Central US -HLstatsX
Please add these to your favorites and the Custom Map server that we have currently @
74.55.49.250:27015 Gib$Ru$ - Custom Maps Central US -HLstatsX
will have its IP changed in mid September. It will probably be more similar to the other IPs.
New Texas Server08/15/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys, we have been testing our new Texas Server, we had some issues with SourceMod, but for now it seems stable.
We are running Custom Maps on the Texas Server, we also run some stock maps that we do not run on our other servers, like Well and Gravelpit.
The server is located in Houston and the IP is 74.55.49.250:27015
The Server Name is Gib$Ru$ - Texas - Custom Maps-HLstatsX-SuperGibs
Please check it out, help us get it popular and have fun!
Ditching our two latest additional Servers06/30/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hello all, I am sad to say that we are going to remove the last two additional server from our community due to the fact that they are very unsuccessful compared to our 4 primary servers.
We are going to officially lose them at around July 12th to the 14th.
For the Rest of the Time, we are going to be running them as a #2 2fort and a #2 Dustbowl so we can have some fun.
Also, because of this, I am interested in renting a TF2 Server somewhere else other than Toronto. So I am going to make a Poll so you can vote where to have the next server. I want to have three main Choices, which are California, Texas or the United Kingdom.
Please visit our forum and vote for our next server!

SourceMod Fun Mods Crashing Servers06/20/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys, with every major update to TF2, there is always a nightmare when our fun mods from SourceMod usually colide . The servers were updated a long while ago, but were crashing everytime a single player joined. I was at work and had no access to delete all our fun mods to save the servers. At the moment we are running vanilla servers with SM, so that means we are not running any additional mods for SM except for HLstatsX mod, which is very important. For now I will be testing the servers, adding each fun plugin/mod one by one to see which ones are crashing the servers. Please be patient, but for the most part, we are able to play. Thanks for your patience and we will keep on gibbing!
Guild FFA - Free For All06/16/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hey guys, Mr. Filbert Fatburger has created a Guild Only Free For All, and here is an announcement from him in quotes:
"Okay Gibs, it is time to revamp and reorganize the Guild Only Free For All. Thank you to all who have expressed an interest in this event. I have been in discussion with the Boss about this and he has agreed to make it slightly more.... interesting shall we say. It is still going to be four 8man/grrl teams, scrim rules still apply. I am going to make a new signup thread in the New Members and Recruitment thread because it is easy to find without wading through security token errors. the thread will be entitled Guild Only Free for All SIGNUP. visit it to sign up for this Guild Only tournament (no clan, no generals, just us little guys/gals!) prize information awaits you at the thread."

Goldrush Server Causing Lag on Rest of the Servers.06/15/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hello all,
Unfortunately, we have determined the cause of the severe lag on all of the servers and this has happened two times. But all of you have known that the Goldrush Server crashes about 1-3 times a day, but it is suppose to restart with ease. But since this latest update, the crashes are different and when the Goldrush Server crashes, it actually stays running and causes all 8 CPU cores of the Server to run at 100%. So we are investigating this issue while the Goldrush server is down at the moment.
Custom Maps Server Turned into 24/7 Heights DB06/10/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys, I would like to announce a great change just like the Stock maps to 24/7 Gravelpit, we are changing the Custom Map server to 24/7 Heights DB.
Some of you are aware of this awesome map, it is a Payload version of Dustbowl. Payload meaning the same type of game play as Goldrush, but with the map Dustbowl..
There was an issue with Respawn times, and I have corrected the issue by editing the entities of the map. (Editing the Code of the Map)
So now , Blue Team has instant respawn and Red team has 6-10 seconds respawn. The reason we have a respawn time for Red is to make it more fair for the Blue team and to relieve frustration. A lot of people left because of instant respawn for Red Team, and a lot of people left because of Red Team having 20 seconds respawn time.
So I cut it down the middle. Depending on your gameplay and how well you are doing, you will get 6-10 seconds respawn time as a Red Player.
I thank you all , especially those who have really tried to help me fill up the servers, your help will not be unnoticed.
