Robust: It looks like these have finally been tracked down and will be put online at some point.
Everybody else:
You are welcome to try: Hub address: goforbroke2.no-ip.com
for now. I’m not sure how well this all will work, but I’m willing to give it a try now until somebody can provide a more permanent host.
I’m not addicted to running this, and I am only on a DSL connection anyways. We’re at 18 users/274GB now, and it uses about 4MB RAM and about no bandwidth on my side (?). If somebody ends up having a better situation, I’m willing to reroute the no-ip address. At the least I’d like to make you an op.
People had been talking about the decline of the gaming scene, etc, and I figured this was something I could do to help, at least until either Funk returns from the dead or somebody else got something better.
3 Cheers for Preppy! I think a new thread should be made to get the word out… I didnt know that the hub was back until somebody aimed me… I looked at the thread… and had to look hard to see the new no-ip.
I’d personally prefer if you were around for three reasons. One, because DirectConnect is collaborative: the more people working together, the better it is. Two, because I’m not certain how long I’ll be able to run this - which is why it’s a-okay with me if somebody else runs the hub over time. I just wanted to get it up and running, since the longer it stayed down, the harder it was going to be to get critical mass on it again. Three, because you were also trying to make this work, and that’s the kind of person I like to have around.
I’m a meat-and-pototoes/basics kind of guy, not a prima donna here. It’d actually make my life easier if somebody else ran this. For my part, I started this up again because it seemed like this was something I could do for now to help keep the scene from further fraying. =\ That’s exactly why I’ve been running local tourneys and hosting videos on my site: I’m not hot about doing that kind of thing, but I can step up and help out, so I do. =\
I lost all of my SBO2 vids when my comp crashed and I couldnt get back on. I still have a bunch of vids and can get a ton of matches from my camcorder.
I still have all my downloaded videos from the old one. About 10gigs worth. I’ll log on here soon. It’s mostly CvS2 and 3S less Marvel (I don’t play it). So if you need it I’m on DSL so you can reclaim some old vids.
Can someone tell me how to work DC because I can’t get into the Hub you made. I downloaded the newest one, and when I put your URL in the search bar it brings up a blank page. Am I connected or do I need more of those other programs on the Neo mod site?
Which hub are you trying to use? Maybe we should close this old thread so people go to the right thread/hub? goforbroke2.no-ip.com is the current one. What client/version are you using?
