the problem isn't that its run by a clan. If any other clan ran it, I would be fine with that. Chaos, Blackrose, NA based GK, etc. etc. they're all good folks. The problem is with Zealot. He is quite literally the last person I would ever pick to own a strategus server. You claim that ATS is accused of abusing power nearly a year ago, well just a few weeks ago zealot did one of the biggest abuses of the admin control panel in the history of c-rpg, arguably in warband. The issue that this same goon is the one who will own the server and have access to the admin passwords and everything. That is what the uproar is about.
If you cannot see the reason for concern behind that, then you must have been dropped as a child.
I just wanted to say that I was there that day when the server got reset during our strat battle. I can assure you it was just an accident, solanar reset all the servers to add new maps or something he was doing. He was not in the channel with us on vent, and he did not realize that we were in a strat battle. After it happened ecko got a hold of solanar, informed him of what had happened, and solanar came up into our channel and was very apologetic. Also, someone wrote earlier that this took place when we were losing, that is incorrect, we were never at any risk of losing, not before or after the reset.
As for the servers issue, I would not mind seeing a 2nd box for strat, and the idea of having it be official is good also. However, Ecko is a lot easier to get a hold of than chadz if something needs to be done with it. Since ecko is on very often, and always in contact with other clan leaders in the NA community. Also, I don't trust zealot at all, due to his history.
