Tukkake!

Post by Dr. kitteny berk »

Right then, Berk is attempting to get himself a hovel, and needs to spend less money, as it is tukkake is about £60/mo.

Unfortunately, I can't really afford to run it along with living. So there.

As far as I can work out the options are:

Hassle you lot for donations, despite us only using it as a teamspeak server atm.

Let a 5punker with spare money and enthusiasm take it over.

Take it down, feed the ram and the hdd to the gonk, and rely on public servers and a rented TS server.


Thoughts?

Some of the servers are useful for when we play games together, but probably not worth £60/mo.
I use the CoD4, CSS and KF servers sometimes, but it wouldn't be a tragedy if they went away to the server in the sky.

I think the most useful part of Tukakke is the TS server.
What are our options for that?

Teamspeak would run £35 a year for 25 slots, or there's a possibility that prof might be able to spare some bandwidth.

Like I said last night, we're not really using it for games at the moment barring CoD4, what with most of us either playing on publics or playing MMO's (WoW, Eve etc) for everything else.

Out of the games coming out this year that I'm interested in, I can't see many of them requiring our own server anyway, plus if we do, it is possible that a 5punker with a decent net connection and machine could host a game anyway (I know, p2p is bad, but it can work in some circumstances).


I vote drop Tukkake for a rented TS server, I suspect we wouldn't notice the difference either (apart from Berk fettling it now and again).

Yeah, kill the server for now. There're are plenty of options for TS servers given how we're very light users. Be a shame to see our servers go ofc, but it's not worth the cost.

Course, I'll probably not remove anything from tukkake.

But if you do want backups of stuff like the arma server, speak now and I can zip it up.

Bin tukkake, get TS somewhere else. And maybe set up the admin stuff on it properly. :P

Funny how getting a job isnt on your list of posibilities :lol:
In all seriousness tho, fair play for keeping it going this long.

Shame I cant host it, but its a fat fucker and i have no rackspace left anyway :(
Might be able to rig up a virtual machine, but narf it sounds like it's not used anymore for much anyway.

If we get a hosted TeamSpeak server thats prob for the best, and backup the files just in case we can resurrect it at some point.
