A New or Alternative North American Strategus Server?

[Gorath]

How do you know he will allow that?

chadz and co. have no say.  They don't get to "allow that".  Only thing they can do is go "Whoops!  Well guess it's time to disconnect it from the DB then."  Which fucks over the NA community as a whole, leaves us waiting while a new strat server is decided upon and whatnot.  Which is more just a reaction to a poor decision than "allowing" something or not.

I just don't understand why we can't donate directly to chadz like the EU crowd does and have him set up a single NA strat server with those donations.

If I was ATS and so upset about this... I would probably not play Strategus.

Hey Gorath, why don't you just give chadz thousands of dollars to pay for another server.  This way, AMERICA will have 2 servers, just in case Zealot pulls the plug on his.

I mean, a literal shit load of cash is no big deal right to any of you right?  You wouldn't be rage polling Zealots donation if money meant anything to you.

Everyone, I respectfully ask to keep this on topic with questions about the server and not anything to do with the current "flaming" or tense situation going on with me personally and the ATS community and surroundings.

Please direct all your other queries concerning any form of criticisms about me that are off topic to this thread.

Thanks.

You put together some tentative specs for the box yet?  I want to drool at the beastly box you're buying then turning control over to chadz.

I had some suggested specs, something that equals out performance wise in terms of the EU box, but Wylker talked me out if, then cmp talked me back into it.

Needless to say, specs are being very carefully considered, stress tests on the boxes will be done Monday.

I was originally hoping for around 16Gb of RAM, and an E3-1275 boasting as it's CPU, although changes to come within today, and the weekend. These types of specification talks do not in anyway delay the server going up, we know our imaginary deadline while we're talking about it.

Needless to say, It's going to have very good specs that can support a broad range of servers with varying slots in each.

Absolutely.  Just have him do what I've fucking suggested and make a "donate to NA server" button and it's not a problem.

BTW if you think I believe that zealot is paying THOUSANDS of dollars a month for a server you're an idiot.  lol

Paying for a server box is nothing really.  About a days wages.  /shrug  I'm fairly certain most of us in the NA community have decent jobs.  Except guts, he's poor as shit.

I don't get why we can't have 2 official NA servers?

The payment has been made and the servers are incoming, the specifications for this server are listed below, other than the ram, everything is on par with the Euro official servers. These specifications can also be adjusted at will, depending on the stress of the servers, but due to the benchmarks and stress tests we've "calculated" it should run better than fine - great! 

Intel Xeon E3-1270 processor (OC + QPI - 3.8GHz)
16 GB DDR3-1333 ECC memory
5000 GB of InterNAP Bandwidth - Can be adjusted at will, and probably will.

I've criticized this specs greatly, and looked at benchmarks of all shapes and sizes that I now have the image of a bar graph permanently imprinted into my iris. Oh, Johnny, this thing will run, she'll run baby, and guess what Johnny boy?
