Please keep this thread to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism only...

I thought we could have organized and distributed information about our servers a little better.. seems noone knew where to get patches for the first 4 hours... that is our fault... so we will try to get server info in your hands earlier and more clearly.

 

That is definately something that shouldn't have happened... but at the same time... it is near impossible for us to prevent it.  If someone shares out their games folder on their PC... we cant prevent it.

We need to make it more of a point to unshare all of your shares prior to coming... and only share during designated times...

good observation!

I know I am raving a raving DC++ newbie, but I must say that I really liked the app! Once we get the managed switches going, I say we close down netbios/smb ports. Straight up only use DC++.

My reasons:
1. You can shutdown the hub at will.
2. Less bandwidth intensive than 16 file copy windows open. (Nice queing system)
3. You can throttle your shares/leeches.
4. ITS SEARCHABLE! No more "Where is it!?"
5. You know who is transfering what!
6. Fun stats on moved data!
7. Built in chat engine.
8. Resume of your que automagicly when the person comes back online after gaming.

So, you might not get your downloads the fastest, but you will get them with out slowing down the rest.

I will work on it. Most of the Clients that I have tried out are pretty much the same. I will most likely write it for the official client.

I feel pretty! and freaking sleepy still.

I think that "Install Guides" for installing, patching, and cracking games in the form of image files should be handed out upon registration.  I'd be willing to help out in the creation of said flyers.

anyway...

Any time someone asks for FITES tech support the staff member should ask if they followed the sheet first. Could save some headaches.  Assisting non-gamers with leeching tech support should not be on our priority list.

I'd prefer a bit more organized gaming, but that's just me, and this was a more relaxed event.

Bravo on the great venue and sheer hilarity of some people (sorry agent).

The lan truly was a great time.

Yeahhh ... handing out a paper saying "this is how to crack a game" can NEVER end well ....

I have to followup what the other people said.  FITES does not condone illegal copying/cracking of games.  Developers work hard on providing quality games and include copy protection for reasons.  It is impossible for us to verify every install, but this is a practice that we can't aid or help in any fashion.

Yeah

Maybe get some more games involved!! I sorta thought we dragged out CS way to long. Then, we did BF2 pretty much for the rest of the night. I know theirs a big group of BF42 and BF2, but I would have liked to get some Unreal 2k4 going. You can only play the same maps a certain amount of times before they get boring. And since the server massivly lagged on huge maps, we were constricted to a certain few (aka 3). Like I said in my other post, it really buged me that everyone left half way through the thing. I understand people have jobs and stuff, but then another group of 12 slept from 1-9. I get the fact of taking a powernap, but it frustrated me that people decided to sleep through. So really, the entire event was over around 1. After that, 6 people were messing around, but it was pointless. I don't know. The leeching seemed to slow everything down a bit. People should come to game, not leech. Guys should also consider the option of "ACTUALLY BUYING THE GAMES". Getting iso's from people, transferring them, and updating them took forever. Overall it was fun, but a few changes are needed for the next upcoming event.

Unshare Files
Everyone Actaully own a install copy of the games

Positive notes, the food was good and their was plenty of space. I appologize about my ranting ahead of time as I know I'm gonna get slamed with critism for this post
