    I'm not sure at the moment, the header image will stay there for a while now and if/when we change it for something else, we might put it in rotation on the 468 ad slots... however, that decision is down to the sales guys. I'm sure that Geoff would be for it though. :)

    I'm wondering why virtualise at all? Obviously you can run several different OSes at once which is great but why do you need more than one OS? Can't you run all the game servers you want on a single OS?

    I think someone needs to sweet talk VMware into donating one. ;)

    All bit-tech need to do is begin recommending it to all their family and friends! :p

    I don't see why there would be a reason for not allowing different servers to run on the same OS. Surely it would be more efficient than using virtualisation? Lots of internet servers can run simultaneously on the same machine. I don't get it.

    IPs and ports aren't the problem - I assume that there is some server we intend to run in the future (BF2?) that runs on linux only.

    I didn't have anything to do with this so I'm only speculating, but that seems to make the most sense to me.

    server seems to be up and running already but it is password protected.
    So far I can tell the password is not "bit-tech" nor "12345678".

    Lets see ....

    Yeah, it is password protected for now. We are just finishing the final configuration on the actual CSS server. Wait til 1800BST (1700GMT/UTC), trust us, it will be worth it.

    About time I get to pwn some people from the forums. If you ever see me online I will be under the name of Marquee, Marquis, Bunny Hates You, or Toronto Blue Bird.

    BOOOM HEAD SHOT.

    BTW can I put the Bit> logo on?

    It would be sweet if they can run Vent or TeamTalk on the server.

    It seems to be pretty full of forum users/staff though.
