This piece of junk Compaq I put CG and HOH on can't handle it at all. I'm going to make a few little changes first and see if it makes a difference and if not, then I'm in the market for a new PC again. All of my boxes are crapping out someway or another (old) so it might just be time to buy another halfway usable system. Sorry to all of you CG stock holders out there. I hope this Chapter 11 will straighten things out and I predict high returns upon the relaunch of the final version. I will put up another CG until then but it will take me a little while too I suspect. Thanks and I'll have more info later I hope.

Sorry to hear about your problems Herm....sucks.

I strictly avoid compaqs...they are a decent builder for your average user and they are decent pcs for average users.

As I have heard, they still solder their parts in... Last time I worked on one was about 4 years ago...my friend had his shit crash. I tried to format the hard drive and it wouldn't let me boot it...compaq crap. Kept saying I needed a recovery cd....I don't know what they did to the hard drive to make it do that...I hate them. I will never (NEVER) buy a compaq!

I build my own systems....although, I am starting to like hps....hear good things about them....my pc at work is an hp....and trust me...I put it to the test.

Anyway...Cg is still offline....I loaded all of Herm's maps...so if you wanna play, check out my server. Am still trying to make some time to get that static ip....will do it on Thurs....

Current ip...68.169.161.8

Good luck herm. I miss the old CG....it rocked.

I be waiting for it Herm you ready.

Serious bummer! Is it 2 servers the computer can't handle? Or any server at all?

There goes marketshare -- and Bigi right there to scoop it up! Like Cruz Bustamante with Grey Davis here in California. :lol:

When you put CG back up, switch CG and HOH. Make HoH the newbie server. I bet brandname recognition still makes CG the server of choice.

Oh Mah! You never quit. I love how you try to appeal to my whatever it is that your trying to appeal to so CG will have all of the maps again. I'm still not going to do it though! So far so good on the new config which is basically a smaller, simpler OS on the same machine without the 451 patch or XMaps umod. It is really changing maps fast and the hard drive isn't crunching constantly like before. I will apply additional changes slowly so i can see what screws it up exactly but right now it seems to be totally rocking! Tha's all for now. Thanks Mah for all of your concern about CG. Question: Do you get a better ping at CG than at NWRO? I ask because I really don't see why you don't just love NWRO to death. I think BO has made the finest of the Redeemer Arenas yet! It's smooth, solid, fast and has all the maps and skins and such. To me, CG is like the first car. You never forget it and how much you learned and grew in it but there are always other cars with the exception that you can always come back to this one!

I refuse to play until hermy makes cg cg again :cry: i miss my home herm please give it back to me :cry: :cry: :cry:


hotts :cry:

I love NWRO too. It has become the hangout for regulars. But it can't handle the huge crowds that give real pleasure, lol! There's nothing better than a full house of 12-16 people, half of which are newbs trying to figure out why they can't spawn!!! :lol:

I still think CG has the best name-brand recognition, which is why, even when you redecorated HOH with all the fixins, everyone still went (and still goes) to CG.

And I get better ping at your place too, lol!

Your (persistent) fragger,

M

Hermskii,
I really feel for you as far as the compaq. We used one at work in the machine shop doing cad and cam and had lots of problems.
I enjoy the redeemer a lot and this forum. If you need, I would be glad to send a little to help defray expenses.
On another note or octave, I would look at dell. We get the flyers for small business at work and they are almost giving them away compared to what we paid for our first 2 dells.
Let me know on here about the offer.

don't get me wrong i love all the servers but my roots come from cg for it is my first deemer arena and herm broke hottie's heart when he threw her roots out the door i'll play on the others but damn i miss my cg

see ya all soon
hotts

bo's and bigi's are great
and i love the strangelove thing dead has going on

give me my cg back hoh isn't the same

Hey BillyJoeBob! I appreciate the fundage offer but I'm doing ok and won't require any aid at this time. I too like the Dells and actually expected to buy one of them but they (my work) weren't selling any at the point I decided I couldn't wait another minute. The truly interesting thing here is that it's running on the exact same box with the same ram and chip but it's running good this time. It hasn't crashed yet and I'm not using any protection at all on it except for a firewall. This makes me wonder about how much I actually need the 451 patch. I've never had probs with it before so I'm inclined to believe the issue was the OS which was XP Pro. After a day of play it would just get totally stupid and slow to the point of crashing. I redid an old 1.6 gb hard drive and it seems to be getting it done but there isn't enough room for HOH now. I have a 6 gig HDD waiting on the side line so I'll build it out soon with CG and HOH on it.
Blondie, luv you girl but CG will stay basic so I'll miss you terribly. hehehe Mah makes a good point with the name recognition arguement but he has also pointed out that the market share can and does shift quickly in the virtual world. I think I'll take Schwantz's arguement and say that so long as people play it, I'll run it. CG scored big in the beginning because of two things:

1. Zero or extremely little downloads for everyone. Even 56Kers get in on the first try provided they have bonus packs installed.

2. If anyone didn't have the bonus packs installed, they were redirected to a super fast download that even the 56Kers would wait for.

That's it. That was the whole recipe for CG and it's immediate success. My constant urge to improve is what eventually brought CG to the place you found it at Blondie. I liked it but I had manuevered away from the original intention. I'm actually practically ashamed of myself for that but I will do it again since I can't help myself. The difference this time is the only additions will be 37 maps instead of 32 and the 451 patch instead of the 436 version for additional protection. So there you have it. CG will stay plain and I imagine HOH will eventually get a following but it won't ever be as good as NWRO I suspect but luckily for me, I expect that and I'll sleep fine anyway! Love and Peace everyone!

Well Sheeeeeotttt! I just got up to the top of the forum being that I read it from the oldest new reply and work my way up and I see Schwantz's sticky. Please visit it for my reply. Thank you.

lol....herm. Makes more sense to read from your last post down...lol

Your downloads are FAST. And have minimal files to download...that is one reason the server stuck on me...

I played Instagib before I found CG one day...some of those guyz have some crap.

Just saying....downloads are where its at I suppose. I am starting to understand.....

Hermy i loves ya too i'm not going anywhere just trying to get you to change your mind
can you make me feel a little better and change hoh to HOH/CG i know it yours silly I think it has to do with the name lol i don't know i'm bllonde and tired not a good mixture

love ya all
you're stuck with me forever :twisted:
hotts


can't blame a girl for trying :D

WOW...herm. Cg is online and rockin! I was just playing witha ping of 69....at worst in the 90s....man. What did you do to super charge that CmPq....usually get pings of 100-130 on servers. Usually about 110 on yours....

did you tap it with your magic stick....did you give it the pimp juice?
