_FFC_
I moved my home-based website to a commercial host last week. I wanted to get the heavy traffic off my home network, and already had another need for my new SCRC chapter site too. So two birds with one shotgun and all that jazz.
My new hosting package doesn't include PHP support, so I setup a (free) domain name for my home site and will redirect any pages needing PHP, MySQL, etc., to there. Short of it is, IF you had a "Favorite" or whatever pointing to my gameserver monitor you need to update it. The new monitor address has been updated on the link here (right panel), and is:
http://www.mambaweb.homedns.org/statusmon/ffc_statusmon.php
Still have a few things to cleanup on my site after the move, but the important stuff (like the FAQ, pictures, etc.) are all working again.

Important! New Game Server Online
_FFC_
Our new game server is now online and I think everything is working okay, including the redirected downloads...I had to find space on one of my commercial servers for that. The barstards over at SX completely ignored (as usual lately) my complaints about the downloads being broken on our current server. I'll be writing them a rather pointed message in farewell soon, and they best not expect any more $ to close out that account. But as of this writing I've shutdown the SX server so you'll need to update your shortcuts and Favorites with the info below.
New game server: 69.28.220.78 (ForumFightersClub in the lobby listings)
Same password as before
We also have a new "team talk" server as part of the rental package, using Ventrilo instead of TeamSpeak. I added a monitor for it onto our FFC Server Monitors page, but it's only displaying properly for me in FireFox, not IE. I'm working on that, probably a Java or Flash issue. Just download the Ventrilo client and we'll try it out. I'd like to make that our preferred client since one of these days the TS server will go away...I don't pay for that one, it's just borrowed.
New Ventrilo server: 69.28.221.135 Port 3796
Same password as before
Let me know if you have questions/comments...otherwise, frag ya l8'er!

New Server Host Search
_FFC_
Following a recommendation from another GSA (game server admin), I am checking out a possible new host for our FFC server. IF it pans out (I sent them a few questions first), we can get both the game and a Ventrilo server for about the same price as what we were paying for the game server alone.
Providing all looks good, the plan will be to continue using our current crappy host, with the broken redirected downloads, etc, while I get UO setup on the new host. Then we can test things out and switch over when all looks good, without (hopefully) more interruption.
For now I'm not worrying about CoD2...seems to me it's still too buggy anyway, given the crashes we've experienced when trying new maps. I'll watch the feedback on it and we can look at it again down the road.
Of course, if you are bored with UO and want to suggest an alternative game this would be the time. Just keep in mind that most of us would have to purchase it more than likely.
