If we were to form a proper clan then this would work - obviously it would be down to the members themselves to chip in for the servers. but i agree it would get more hits. but it would be very costly for 1 person to foot the bill for multiple game servers & vent/teamspeak.

If TPU had more members that were interested in 'branching out' & making TPU more then just another techsite that pops up on google search im all for it. - just not in CSS, I got sick of awp noobs & fluke AK47 kills (I hate that fucking gun) if it makes you feel any better to say that I got pwnd by better players & couldnt take it so '/ragequit' I then so be it. but real players use p90's & dual elites - at least that was what my 1st choice load out was unless otherwise - bird rifle.

To be honest i think the service would in a way pay for itself. The other thing is that tpu has the ability to host it's own servers instead of pay for another service. I mean i could host a few servers from my house or my office and it'd work fine, the upkeep is really the only thing that is worrisome. But cost i don't think would be an issue. There are plenty of dedicated server setups not hosted by major server companies that are just fine. Tpu has the processing power, i'm pretty sure of that, all they need is someone to mod them, as far as clans, i'd gladly work with those who are looking for a cod4,5,4x2 clan and help mod a server or two. I'm not particularly a good tf2 player but i do have it and have played it, perhaps having some familiar forum buddies to play with will help bring back the spark i never had in that game.

cs:s needs to die imho, i'm tired of cs:s, i feel the game caters to young people with a knack for the console, you can hardly ever just pick up the game and play online and do at all remotely well without tweaking the shit out of your cs:s install. Idk if it's just me, but games like l4d, cod4,5,4x2 are more levelset, there are some great players, and people who love the console, but for the most part everybody just picks it up and plays it.

There are plenty of empty servers not just in tf2 but in many online games, check unreal tournament, half the servers are empty. The fact of the matter and part of my previous argument is that a server hosted by tpu which is visited by thousands of people whom almost always have similar interests as far as pc's and gaming go would be able to see that tpu had servers up and play on them, thus they would get there friends to play on them and perhaps there friends would come to tpu thus growing the tpu ranks a little bit.

I think this would also bring people here that are more into games then hardware, perhaps the ailing gamepowerup site i never visit will actually get some use. You could set the site up identicle to tpu as it already appears to be and add a link to the servers that tpu hosts, throw some google adwords up there to get the "word" out (no pun intended) and i think people will be playing the games on the tpu servers and visiting the site more(which i think makes w1zzard more money... not sure how that works)

As far as those not in favor of a venture like this, It is a risky venture, and requires additional work. I know how that is, i work for a company that consistantly takes risky ventures based on a risk-reward approach or a hoshin strategy as it is called. I think that this would be a phenomenal move for tpu and the online forum community as a whole. Servers hosted by big names get more visitors. Tpu is a big name, and servers will only make it bigger imho, and as a stated already, perhpas raise awareness of the elusive "gamepowerup" site we have and rarely use.
