Um. . . Old news. People just don't play Command & Conquer: Renegade on it. They play Red Alert 2 and some other games instead. It works perfectly fine, but. . .it still requires a valid Westwood Online account, I'm sorry to say.

I'd be estatic if they cleared inactive user names once in a while. I need my proper username of "DrLithius," god damn it. I'm 99% sure he's inactive.

If Westwood goes away, Blackhand Studios is ready to take over the server listing within a week or two of that event.

I'm the bawss.

I mean that between our members we have no less than 3 WOL replacement applications that are more secure than the existing service. However, given how many server owners in this community have their heads up their asses, the only way we can forsee this replacement being a success is if WOL itself ceased to exist.

I'm the bawss.

I don't see why not. Smile Plus we wouldn't have it bound by the limitation of nicknames.

Excellent. For the most part, the nine-character limitation isn't that much of a burden considering I grew up in the days of BBSes and AOL v2.0.(Five bucks says you don't know what a "SmallTime BBS" is, Crimmy.) But in the long run, something to the extent of 32 character and special characters allowed(space, underscore, shift-numeric keys. . .) would be nice. Being able to remove nicknames from the database would be nice, too.

I meant the number of nicknames allowed in your buddy list.

I started BBSing in 1993 on local dial-up BBSes (CHHS, TUBBS, Flatlands to name a few local ones) at 2400 baud. I do know what they are, so send me $5 care of Blackhand Studios.

I said "SmallTime BBS". You made no mention of the specific Bulletin Board Service. I know I wasn't very clear on the name, as I could have simply been referring to a type of BBS instead of a name, but. . . Eh.

Anyway, I honestly would if I still had my PayPal account. And. . .wasn't broke.

You said "a SmallTime BBS" in a general way. Either way, I hadn't heard of that particular one, but I did connect to several local BBSes back in the day so that should satisfy your presumption that I was some sort of online newbie. There are plenty who are more old-school than me, but I am more old school than you thought I was. I still say you owe me.

Alright, alright. . . I gotta admit, it's not often enough that I find people that are actually aware of Bulletin Board Services. So I'll fork over the fiver. But only 'cause I love yas. =P

This 'new service' would be controlled entirely by us, so anything would be possible.

It probably would be. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure if some of us. . .shall we say. . ."engineered" the downfall of Westwood Online, EA Games would somehow manage to track our butts down and have us all sued. Or something. I dunno. I'm pretty sure if it went down all by itself(so to speak), though, that EA wouldn't btoher trying to bring it back up.

Probably not on purpose, more of a "fuck, tripped over that cable, don't know what it is but may as well reconnect it" kinda situation.

Not everything is as it appears

I have a question Crim.

Say you fired up the BHS host right now while WOL still functions. Would it be possible to host n00bsrv1 on it and use a WOLspy type of deal to make the server still show up on WOL? Also (ok so I have 2 questions) if I'm not mistaken a BHS host would not be bound by a valid serial correct? Which would mean that the game could be more easily distributed. There by greatly increasing the life span and player counts of the game.
