Yep, you old timers may remember who I am. I ran Southern Alabama CS 1.5/1.6 back in the 2002. It began as an experiment on a boring night. I downloaded the CS 1.5 server file and started it up with default settings. I ran it on the same computer I was playing on. Within about 5 minutes, some retard, Apathy, logged on. After talking to him for a bit, 2 more people joined. Come to find out, they were 2 of his friends. I soon left the server for bed. When I came home after work the next day, to my surprise, the server was abso-freakin-lutely full! I couldn't believe it! Within the next couple weeks, I had ordered me some new computer parts and built the server. Athlon 1.2GHz, 512mb RAM, Win2k Advanced Server, 1.1mb SDSL connection. Not long after I realized this server was going to be big, I set up a Psychostats page. Man, I wish I had saved these files. The player activity was incredible! During this time, this server was the home of [WhtTrsh]. Most of these guys were in the area.. Corpse was actually WhtTrsh at one time! The server had a GREAT core group of players and tons of regulars.

Running a CS server is the most thankless thing I have ever done. Admin abuse, daily e-mails regarding the foresaid, trash talking, etc. I don't remember exactly how long I had it up, but it consumed the better part of 8 to 10 months or so I'd guess. One night, while dating a high school fling, I sent the server an admin_csay giving them warning that the server was coming down. I shucked the motherboard, cpu, and RAM and gave it to the flings father. About a week later, Corpse had a server running from his home. He'll have to correct me on this, but I'm thinking it was a Xeon 600mhz or something close. I think he had it at a max of 8 players. For the first little bit, he named it Southern Alabama CS 1.6 in lieu of my server. This was the beginning of his server admin addiction. Fast forward to 5 years later. 6 servers, $300/mo server fees, countless hours maintaining the website.. He has taken this game to levels I would have never attempted. Hats off to this stellar guy.

Now to the point, I haven't played this game competively in a few years, but I would like to wear the n00b tag. After all, I take part credit on n00b even being here in the first place haha.

If Corpse doesn't respond to this, make sure he at least reads it =) The old times, I'm sure, will bring a smile to his face. Kano, Fueltanker, etc. HAHAHA the gay LAN party we went to in Pensacola. Come back home to Alabama baby Buzz!

I recommend special action on this one. I would support an immediate vote of yes for the tag.

I agree with everything he said except...

... it was an AMD K6-2/450 cpu in that first POS machine, and the player max was 7.

LOL!

Back in the day,... boy that takes me back in time. I'm not sure when I changed it from Southern Alabama CS 1.6 to Southern Alabama n00bfest and then just to n00bfest.

You know, I was actually an ANTI-Counter-Strike person until I found the Southern Alabama server that Doofy was running. I had been a HUGE fan of TFC and played with the #1 ranked OGL team "Clan Chowder" back then. I got hooked on CS because it was a lot of fun playing with Kano, Doofy, Fueltanker, Yoda and the rest of the White Trash gang.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I remember playing with you a couple of times, Doofy. Welcome back, good man.


Oh, and Corpse, I believe you changed it from SANF to n00bfest in January/February 2005. It was right before I got voted in.

Iam all teary eyed........

So is he sorta grandpa n00b?

Kinda sorta indeed.

I'd prefer Grandpa Sausage.

He always wanted you to cook his brauts with him, but you only really remember the barbeques in therapy sessions.

I really hate that I suck so bad now. Last night, I was like 2 and 11. After I had quit playing Counter-strike, it was all MMO's from then until now. I had gotten into Everquest not long before I brought the server down. Stupid game.. I'd have a college degree if it hadn't been for that piece of garbage hah.

Edit: It may have been just a streak of luck, but tonight, I pulled a 14 and 3 or something like that! I may still have it in me.

I cant think of a reason in the world to make you wait on a vote.So just go ahead tag up and ill get on your forum access if Corpse doesn't handle it first.And don't worry about the skills,theres alot of us old guys that don't poon like we used too.Welcome home!

Thanks super =) Troy.. I worked for Charter cable in Troy in 2005/06. I moved up to Ozark in Jan of 05 and moved back down here to Baldwin County in May of 06.

Looking forward to being owned by some n00bs!

Wurd.
