April fools? Rain?

Those were our actual servers in the past. Must have saved a still image of the banners

I think we are missing a couple more 2142 servers :p
 
It might be hard to believe fast but I wasn't a member when these images existed nor had I even heard of TBG on the date these banners are from. I pulled them from the internet archive and I'll have to check the date later but it was the Only day I could find that had the 2142 banners cached. The next date after that did have more servers but the banners are missing.

Looked it up Feb 1st 2011. The person who invited me wasn't even a member yet. The disaster that was the 1.51 update for 2142 was posted up by soldier4real that day. I was a registered user when we had 2142 servers it appears but without the actual banners im not sure what date they were killed. Pretty sure it wasn't more than a couple months after I got voted in at the latest.

Mac. Grim, S4R and I still play. Load it up and tranny whore it up :)

This was at the end of 2142 hay day. After this. We took down 2142 and BF2 followed.

BF2 was only taken down because the server died from being moved too much. It survived the first move, i believe the second. But by the time we found NFO it never repopulated.
 
BF2 died because kids were exploiting the server causing it to crash. Our shit provider then, hypernia, did not want to install BF2AHD which prevents certain exploits to be used ....Dice never patch these loopholes as usual but a third party was providing service to fix this. After bugging them for weeks Hypernia said, we are contacting them to get the stuff but took 2 months to actually get it. The punks were constantly monitoring our server and would wait to reach 30+ players then crash it again everyday. Their first exploit was to be in the server when I found out who they were, I banned them from in game by a region IP (they would change IPs frequently) ban they were doing it outside the game. It was a couple UK kids who had nothing better to do. Clearly they couldn't get boners in their teenage years.


By the time we got bf2ahd damage was already done and we moved because Hypernia provided laggy BC2 servers. Our next provider Myinternetservices wasn't much better either.

We would still have at least the all maps server today if it wasn't for that shit. Would probably transfer the server away from our box and placed on a shared box to maintain it
 
I could have sworn we made it back into the top 10 before the final move. I remember them saying it wasn't approved and coming back and saying oh were sorry it actually is.
 
The second part is correct but at that point it would only fill up during prime time not overnight 24/7 like it used to. It was a solid 64 all day everyday.
