Identifying a Good Server

02/06/2009 23:06 InfamousNoone#1
1. They (the owner/s) actually have a cool username, or use just their name in general.
Proof of this
Qonquer - Cool, Servers good
Ultimation - Cool, Good server
Hybrid - (Biased?) Cool, Good server
Andy - Normal Name, Good Server
XMasterrrr - Bad Name, Bad Server
koio - Bad Name, Bad Server

2. They understand how to port forward.
Proof of this
All Hamachi servers such, need I say more?

3. They've written their own source.
Proof of this
TQ binaries servers -> Gay
LOTF -> Bound to fail

4. They're not saying shit like "give us donations if you want us to stay up".
Proof of this
A good server will ask for donations, and mabye give a few things if you donate i.e. CoEmu (v2, by Andy) Qonquer,
or won't ask for donations at all, i.e. AcidCO.

Any LOTF, or TQ Binary server asking for donations should just be ignored.

5. The owner actually knows how to code, and knows what they're doing.
Proof of this
Back when I was a novice at C#, HybridCO epically died due to me "experimenting with pointers" and fucking my source beyond fixing.

6. They bought me pie, narcotics, or a prostitute without stds was attractive and "knew what she was doing".

Oh and lastly

7. If the server advertisement claims anything like "new best server" or anything along those lines, it's probably going to be shit (assuming nobody knows who the fuck the guy posting about it is).

Reasonable development time? 12 months+ would be proof of a decent server.

Who is koio ?
I've never seen him post before yet he is stupid enough to be mentioned as a example of an owner of a bad server....
