Recentely, it has been brought to my attention that somehow some individual made the claim that he provided me with his "technical expertise" and "helped" me create hootersgaming.com community. This claim is pitiful at worst and laughable at best. I have known the said individual for a while. He might have improved by now but at the time of hootersgaming.com it was not the case. His skillset did not go beyond setting up a basic windows server which is considered the laughing stock of any seriuous server framework. I am here to set the record straight. I did not need NOR receive ANY techinical assistance from anyone. Especially from a half-baked, 2-bit techie wannabe. I felt compelled to drop a quick note for the simple reason that many who claim expertise simply do not know enough. Even from a gaming perspective, when he played on our servers and was tossed around like a beach ball by... ehm... yours truly, there was always an excuse. Here are some of the best ones I can remember: - "My mouse is skipping" - "I need to change the batteries in my mouse" - "I am getting a bad lag." - "Your server is not configured right" At the time hootersgaming.com server was hosted on a dedicated baremetal server with fullduplex connection running on a custom compiled Linux 1000hz kernel, and all other supporting services such as website, fastdownload server, stats server and bans server were all hosted on their respective dedicated machines. :D. Lack of skills in his game was not the fault of our servers. He simply thought he was more skilled than he actually was. So please, save me the trouble of having to respond to you and shut your ignorant mouth. But I guess it is already too late. Oh well. Just my 2 cents.
When a euro-trash, racist, sexist, indecent, subhuman, and a home grown peach started making comments about decency, it was time to pull the plug on the whole thing. After countless hours and multiple thousands of dollars invested in this community, we had our fun and it was time to move on. Just because someone puts up a server, it doesn't automatically become the best of anything. Maybe the best shit hole but that is about it. In its hayday Hootersgaming.com was ranked 4th globally. The so called "best HL server period!" server is the lowest grade cheap Chinese knockoff of Hootersgaming.com operation, and at worst it is the shit hole that we all observe it to be. One of the many still-born attempts that litters half-life realm. Just chalk it off to another miserably failed attempt at being something good. You can't build something good when you don't know what good is. Hootersgaming was an exceptional effort which yielded a community of over 60000 (yes, that is sixty thousand) unique steam ids logged. Remember, we showed you the way, we set the standard and demonstrated how it is done. It was no longer possible to have fun and to support a community that was not happy with itself. This flatlining server entity which was haphazardly thrown together is named after the word shit. Naturally that is all you will get. HAVE A NICE DAY!
