    Time to Call it Quits

    Since late August of 2007 I've had a custom built server co-located in St. Louis. One which was built to run UT3, which didn't turn out as most of us had hoped for. Even so I have been running various mods for UT3 as well as free hosting UT3/UT2004 servers for Pinky's Playhouse and the T5K Clan. I also ran a TF2 server which was fairly busy until the achievements came out and along with it, achievement whores which ruined it for me.

    But now it is time to call it quits. After the end of this month the game servers will be stopped and the server box will be relocated back to my home.

    I want to personally thank Cain once again, who graciously allowed me to "take over" and host Onslaught for the CLRs who still loved it when he closed his UT2004 servers. (Given that some of his UT2004 server competition is still active today, I think he could have mopped the floor with them for a couple more years had he chosen to continue. )

    I had the pleasure of meeting Cain and his wife in person during a trip through South Carolina and it was a great priviledge. And yes, I witnessed the awesome Cain Home Theatre. "Master and Commander" was thundering through that sound system. What a great treat.

    To help keep this short(er) I also want to thank all the CLRs who I've met since one fateful day when I joined an Onslaught server that had "Cain's Lair" in the name. And all the others who followed, such as the Titan community and Pinky's, I wish all the best.

    Thanks to you all for some very fun times. I'll continue to post now and again.

    With love and regards,

    Scott

    Slaughter, I hope you continue to post here. Just because you are not playing a current game does not mean this is your home.

        I think Apache meant to say "does not mean this is NOT your home"
        Ahhh...the power of cheese!

            It is tough to stop playing a game that you have played for so many years. I guess you have to wait till the next game like UT or something that catches your eye like this series did.

              Way to hang on all the time Slaughter. I don't know if you know this or not but it was a pimp message from you that was a big part of me adding the lair to my favorites.

                    Some of us still play UT2004 . I average 2 two to 3 hours a night and still get my rear kicked.
                    I might have to give BC a try . I played the single person game and it seems nice.
                    I really wanted to stop by and just say Hi to anyone that might remember me.

                        Welcome back Porkinator. I was on the CS side but, I remember you.
                        Back years ago, Cain ran UT and CS. There were actually two separate communities on the forum.

                            Slaughter,
                            When you say UT3, Do you mean Unreal Tournament 2003 or Unreal Tournament 3? I was just wondering what you ment by "UT3/UT2004"

                              Unreal Tournament 3, not 2003.
