I think it would be really wise to add a popup in game (the things that come up as your playing, like "join us at...' and such) that says somthing like "Please join us at our other servers! (ip addresses)" cause i think alot of people play on one, like it, but leave cause they get annoyed at a player/ are dieing too much/whatever reason and head off to some other server, but if we had links to more of our servers it may keep them around longer, cause if they like the server, just not the players at that moment, we give them somewhere to go. it's really easy to implement, and can only help.

that or have the server ip's on main page and make a pop up to say for other servers visit wildfire.co.uk and maybe in turn will attract more people to the forums

people are probably going to be too lazy to visit our forums when they could just find another bf server.
we could also have a message with some of the sup's xfire names so people could contact them in case of tkers/campers/trenchers.

somehow, when someone is in the middle of a game i dont think they are going to want a popup telling them about the wf servers they are about to die in if the popup doesnt go away :P
the IPs sounds good.

not a pop-up, just one of those text messages things, like the ones that used to say 'To join Wildfire clan, visit joinwf.co.uk'

but we are invite only now :P

anyway, the nice 'pop up text' sounds good. it would definitely help IMO. lets do it :D but wouldnt the list of IP addresses be kind of long :D?

Well, seeing as we are Invite only, simply mention in the text, that if they play here and obey the rules, then they may get an invite.

registered say command to force of "connect" client command would be usefull like:

[WF] Hyrsy: !join3

] connect 212.187.209.182:27015

^^^^^ Forced by Server ^^^^^

I'm pretty sure you don't do that anymore.

do the admins give consent to handing out their name to all random players on WF servers?

in all sense they shouldn't they have been made admins to admin the server so why not take calls from the players that are actually on the servers

Why should we even want more people on our servers?

Our breakfloor servers are 1 of those most populair servers already, but ye admins that don't play on the servers don't know that.

Did you bring back an old topic just to rant about admin inactivity? Or to promote your own activity to become a better candidate for advanced admin? :/
