The Server is now a Dedicated server, thanks to BrutalBizkit's help with port blocking, so it will be up 24/7, however not 365. Always play sniper weapon set, CTF or Team Slayer. No custom maps, not even Hugeass.
Also thanks to »H« Sandino the server is now patched in defense against Haloloop, Haloboom, and many other booming apps..
If you want to see if my server is up, you can bookmark this nifty little app provided by the »H« Clan.
The dedicated server is on a constant map rotation of the following maps in this order: Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Danger Canyon.
If you think you've got a good idea to add for the mapcycle, please feel free to email me with your suggestions. Senseless rantings will not be considered. Please try to keep your emails somewhat coherent and in English, I do not speak Spanish, contrary to popular belief.
This section of the site is dedicated to those who chose to try and 'hack' my server with scripts. Their name(s), IP's, and Proxies (if applicable) are listed below in an effort to let others know which IP's and IP ranges to ban from their servers. Hope I can help some other server operators out in advance.
"Exp-Sucks" / "Haloboom"
IP (static)
IP ranges (71.172.0.0 - 71.172.255.255), (96.225.0.0 - 96.225.255.255)
"nub"

Anyone found booming my servers will be permanently banned from my server, and their IP will be posted up on my site. Hopefully this section won't be needed any further due to the patches.
