You may have recognized that the LFE downloads often don't work. That's cause the Server where the downloads are hosted is good - but not good enough to resist traffic which is as high as the one we just have. So the server overloads and shut down - downloads offline.

The solution we have:

1. Buy a new server where we can host the compleate LFE, it would cost around 50 or 60 € per month or maybe more. Right now we pay around 10 € per month. With an income of LFE from 1.01$ per day it's 30 $ a month and with this strong euro I get almost nothing for it.
I simply can't afford this. I searched for new methods of gain more stuff but it's hard. For some reason google don't displace the right adds anymore - on LFEv7.0 they did, maybe cause of Meta-Tags, don't know, but I got 4 times more clicks per day - and 4 times more income - will se what I can change there.
The other solution for payment would be a sponsor, but this will be very hard since this site is probably not very interesting and not so well designed

2. Less traffic on server no 1.
Now to do this? well, one option would be to delete files, no way for me.
The second solution is to host large files on several external hosts so they've the traffic problem
So what I will do now is upload LF2 v1.71, 1.9, 1.9c, 2.0 and LFO trial on external hosts so we've less traffic. In the moment I can't do more and I hope the server will be a bit more stable then ...

After some thinking and discussing with MH, we've come to the conclusion that it is time for another usergroup: the support team. These members have to be experienced in their area (whether it is DCing, spriting, or fighting) and already pretty well known in here (which is kinda basic, I know).

Now, since a new usergroup also needs certain privileges, I want to ask you - yes, YOU - what you can imagine a support team to be doing. I've had already quite a few ideas about their functions, but, in order not to influence anybody around here, I'd like you to give some suggestions.

Please remember that the main function of this usergroup is to help others, anything else than that is optional. Do not advertise yourself or anybody else in this thread, this discussion here is primary to set the group properties. And now.... post you ideas on what the support team is supposed to do in your eyes!

LF2 v2.0 is out a few weeks now and guys already start to modify it. BluePhoenix pleased me to ask Marti if it is allowed to change the adds in the exe (I don't know who made the background black so don't kill me cause of copyrights )

   

Now I asked him - he told he can't stop fans from doing this and he will not warn or punish them, but he also don't welcome it.

I just updated, report bugs if you find some...

Bugs to fix:
- Forum Games in View Today's post (fixed)
- Cup-CPFs in Profiles (fixed)
