Where in the world is ZEEK?
Over 2 weeks without any sign of Zeek...
...and then last night, out of nowhere, my screen lights up:
[20080311-21:09:21] Zeek: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
[20080311-21:09:21] *** Auto-response sent to Zeek: I am currently away from the computer.
[20080311-21:09:42] *** "Zeek" signed off at Tue Mar 11 21:09:42 2008.
Is he back?
Where has he been?
Did quake rage finally get the best of him?
Is this retirement permanent?
Maybe he started attending Quake-a-holics Anonymous meetings.
Only time will tell. Hopefully he isn't off in secrecy desiging new hax to turn loose upon us.

UPDATED: New Data Center coming!
The server will be taken offline for about 2 hours between 11:00pm CST and 5:00am CST at some point during the week of September 24.
We are moving to a new data center. The downtime is necessary to phyiscally move the rack to its new home.
All IPs and ports will remain the same after the move.
As a result, we should see some connectivity improvements to some areas of the world.
The new Data Center includes multiple carrier and interconnection options.
We have access to over 50 carriers including AT&T, Level 3, Qwest, XO and Verizon.
The data center is fully connected to over 350 networks across the footprint using a unique blend of Peer1 and PCCW Global bandwidth, and an all Cisco powered BGP-4 fiber network.

Website Overhaul!
A new look and feel has finally arrived. The old site layout was in dire need of updating for quite awhile. I decided to throw some time into a new design this past week to help us manage things better. The overhaul is still a work in progress so if you are lucky enough to come across a bug or two please take a moment and post your findings in the forum.

NA PureCTF Server now running!
There seemed to be a healthy interest in some CTF action around here. So accordingly, we decided to throw up a CTF port on :27502. Not everything was tested so if you discover a problem please notify us in the forum. Just like in CTF's glory days, flying around the map like spiderman again should bring back memories of comical times.

NA Kombat Teams v2.1 is now running!
We didn't have a lot of time to test everything thoroughly, so please report any bugs to the forum. There are many changes in this version. Some of the major features include:
VOTING OVERHAUL
Voting has been updated. Votes are tallied every second now.
Previously, if a player left and it resulted in a majority yea vote, the vote was not successful until another yea vote was received.
Now, if a player leaves causing a majority to be reached, the vote will succeed.
Also, you can suggest a different map if there is a map election running.
You can also change your map vote during the election.
Very similar to how KTPRO works since most of us are familiar with that mod.
FPSLIST
The /FPSLIST command will show you server side FPS (frames per second) stats for all active clients.
REMOTE ADMINS
Remote administration functions have been added to keep trouble-makers in check throughout the day.
Some of the regulars will be granted access initially.
To all would-be hackers, be warned: All admin functions (including /admin requests) are logged.
Logged using your realip, not your qizmo'd proxied ip.
MVD RECORDING
Server recorded MVD's (accessible at the
Demos link)
will now record end of level stats and messages typed for a few seconds after the level ends.
