Hank probably shut down his computer when he left for Easter this weekend.
You guys do know it's Easter tomorrow, right? ;D

What is this "Easter" you speak of? some sort of pagan holiday?

Hey guys, sorry for not updating everyone sooner. Here's what's been going on. First, yes, the server was down because I was gone for Easter with the extended family since Friday morning. I would have updated everyone to this fact, except my crappy HP computer decided to crash Friday morning. I just got it back up now. I have a backup of everything as far as 11:30 PM on Thursday. Unfortunately, I can't restore that file because I apparently have bad sectors on my harddrive. If there's one thing I'd like to teach anyone here it's that you should never, EVER buy an HP compaq personel PC. My machine is approx. 18 months old and in that time frame I've replaced the motherboard, power supply and the HDD four times. I want to get it back up and running but I am asking now if there's anyone out there that can host the game. My plan is to get another computer, but that might not be for a while because of $ restraints. Also, my computer has been freezing or crashing more and more the last couple of weeks. I would hate to keep having to go backwards. When I'm at work I've been connecting to my machine to save the game every hour or so but it's hard to do that at night when you're married and have a 3 year old boy. I would have no problem backing up the current files and then ship them out (overnight) to anyone here. Please let me know if anyone is available to do this.
Again, I am hoping to have the game back up and running tonight, tomorrow at the latest. Sorry about all of this.
Hank

I would be happy to host it, but my computer wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm sure somebody here can. And thanks for the update, Hank

Ahh no worries Hank, ya have done an excellent job in getting the league started, thanks for the updates . Wish I could host it (actually did try it once), was able to, but boy, it sure cranks up a ton of juice on ones computer. Anyways, I am sure out of the 30 fellas here, someone would be willing to host it . One would need though, just to be on the safe side: 512 MB RAM (could be run at 256 MB, like i did, but it does take most of it up) Harddrive space(recommend at least 10 GB+ harddrive space, this is the main factor in running the server smoothly. More space ya have, the more smoother and faster it runs)

I have an office computer that has 1gb of ram and is always left on. But i don't have the game installed on that computer i have it on my laptop. I got the downloaded version. I wonder if i could re-download it on the office comp and use the same key? I would be willing to give it a shot, but i don't know much about IP addresses and ports and all that kind of crap.
Office computer is AMD 2400 1gb Ram 80 GB HD with about 20GB Free. Connected via Ethernet cable to DSL

I know I cannot help, but I would like to say that Hank has done a great job to this point. Hopefully all this mess can get cleared up and we can get back to the game

Decker, if you download the try-and-buy like I did from sigames.com, they give you 4 more free downloads of the game, I have it on both my comps now as a result. Download the try and buy and when you try to start it up, select the "already purchased" button or the similar one. They'll email you a NEW key to the email you signed up on sigames with. Hope it works for ya

Though, I am not sure if you will be able to join the game from another computer (your laptop) if it's using the same license. Just on the top of my head.
