All i can say is nothing will be done that is a major security risk to the game..the telnet access is something they wouldn't allow...I mean if the global admins cannot do it, i don't think server-side staff shall be able to either...it's all the risk and all these fears and problems that given access can bring if people decide to abuse their right to have that access..it's best kept as is yet it sucks because only 2 people known can fix the problems, yet they are the 2 hardest people to reach at times.

As for the renting of the server...good idea, but I am not sure how'd that work, because if you stop paying, do you lose your server? then people will jump in and pay for it and take it from you? Everything leads to wonderous questions....

Guess we'll see what the future holds..

do you know about telnet? youre a fool dude. All the server hosting companies give you telnet access to their server, Stefan could restrict people to certain directories. As goes the server you really are dumb aint ya, you pay for a server that people can connect to you get ftp you upload your levels etc and open telnet to start your server. If you run out of funds the ftp gets deleted thats all server goes bye bye.
