Do you like cash? Good, so do we! For the month of February the top five players on our server will be awarded cash and prizes ($100, $50, $25, 5 keys, and 2 keys respectively). The contest will begin at 12:00AM CST February 1, 2012 and run through 11:59PM CST February 29, 2012. Stats will only be recording when the server has 14 or more players connected. Anyone may participate in this event, admins included. Admin access to the monthly stats will be restricted during the duration of the contest.

The monthly stats & standings have been blocked from viewing during the month to keep player ranks more of a surprise. Players will be able to view full stat history over the month following the conclusion of the contest. The top 5 player standings will be released on the 10th, 20th, and upon conclusion of the contest.


To qualify you must:

- Have time already logged on our server with your STEAMID as of this exact moment in time. It can be anything from a minute to a day, but you must have played on the Gravity Bong prior to this contest being announced. (Check here).

- You must register by posting in the registration thread. Doesn't matter what, just as long as you post in it during the month of February. To keep track, any more than one post by the same user will be deleted. (Register here).

- We do not have any rules per say, as this is a new contest we have never explored. We will address any concerns as they arise.

As always Bong on, Good Luck, and don't drink the water.

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).

bOng on

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!
