Please welcome Seren and Yahoozy as new BONG admins! Add them to your friends list to harass the sh!t out of them with your requests to change your color, boot that hacker, mute the 10-year-old, kick the AFks, and turn on all talk so you can spam your music.

Seems the server is picking back up now that the new has worn off Skyrim. The rotation server has moved on to other duties, the 2Fort server was busy fighting the Monoculous at Halloween, so if anyone is interested in reinstating happy hours and map changes, we are always open to suggestions to keep things interesting.

And since you asked, YES the Gravity BonG still takes donations (look to the left, don't be shy).

So, apparently alot of random issues that have been plaguing the BONG lately are totally my fault. Being the attention whore that I am, I felt the need to make a news post about it confessing to my stupidity and begging for your forgiveness.

Apparently I had left in place one of several anti-ddos measures I attempted during the period of time that we were being attacked. This was severely restricting the amount of requests the server would answer per second.

Admins will immediately recognize that the ping graph in HLSW is totally cleared up. Yep, that whole mess was totally my bad. Regulars will notice that the server now actually exists in steam, as far as server info, server browser, etc...

I imagine this may help with some of the lag issues as well.

I apologize for all of this being a problem in the first place, as something like that should have been corrected like 2 months ago. I am a failure, and I plan on drinking myself to death later tonight.

But, good side, problem fixed!

Hello BONG. Wanted to get the consensus of the rotation server's existence. As everyone knows from the in-game messages, you can jump to it with !hop. As Cyrus has been so kind as to provide said server, does anyone feel it is worth his resources to keep it? The server rotates between the games voted on a few months ago but I would be happy to install any map anyone asks for, set the map to play (assuming I am available at the time) modify the gravity and other variables, etc.

I know the common argument against a second server is wanting to play with your friends and no one wants to commit to make the move to an empty server but if anyone has suggestion or comments, feel free to post.
