Right, so I assume its 1.23, as thats the version most people have?

My main issue now, which is a serious one this year, is cheat and crash protection.

Sadly, more and more people are learning how to crash servers, I've seen programs designed to do it, and iv seen PHP scripts designed to do it. It can be done almost untraceable. Sadly, we will have to hope that a lot of people will respect this event, and not crash it. But some people might, so we got to think about what we will use to prevent it. Catylism could be useful (i think thats how its spelt) to ban Laser Shield Users. Although this doesnt stop people using packet methods, to crash servers. We will just have to hope that people wont. But on the same note, I will need some very well trusted Americans, who can remotely log into my server, and reload JJ2, should someone decide to crash it. I have 3 european admins allready, who can do it (Nimrod Online Employees, Myself, Xtreem and Seven aka Blaster). They job will be to keep an eye on the server, and reset it, should the need to rise.

So at the moment, I will be running Catlyism by Overload, and Links Apprended program (spelt wrong i know) that will keep an eye of whos connecting, and log there IP. Is there any other programs people could recommend, to help prevent cheaters, or crashers? Or generally make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

and on the note of cheaters, Everyone is welcome into the server, (even people i hate ), but i will not tolerate anyone cheating, A kick will happen, and if it continues, I'm affraid I may have to ban (or, whoever is actively admin'ing, will ban)

I have good faith in Reptile, getting a good level pack togeather, and feel free to give him feedback and ideas as to what you want on it

Thanks,

Feedback welcome
