We are currently in DEBT when we should not be have reminded those with payments outstanding...........Hopefully we will be back in credit soon

So apart from the debt we are looking good

Some Thoughts
One thing I have been thinking about is that AAAA at present is mainly funded from the hosting so the League servers all 6 and test servers are effectively funded by all the clans who host with us.................

The Match servers are there to be used by any MOHAA clan all can be run stock - I understand that perhaps some clans would like perhaps a sniper only match server and a like's - All I would say is I would be happy to setup extra custom on demand servers seperate just give me a shout........
I just dont want the match servers been changed with mods for stability reasons..................

All I would ask is that external third party hosted clans respect the fact that AAAA hosted clans keep all this going so any small donations help to support the community and all the services we try to provide Beer

So whats been happening on the hosting side...........

Well this the last time I posted about the hosting side was about Febuary

One Clan reduced their servers by 2 they had three.

Two clans have added another server each

Two new clan's have joined AAAA hosting.

Performance and problem's - no issues to report

Well ok the odd hick up

Website outages 2 major - One from attack and one from major update for security

Servers well a few network issues related to Gaming deluxe and a the odd crash but our regular house keeping is helping a lot - we try to boot the dedi's at least once every two weeks.

Are we the perfect host god no Do we get things wrong oh hell yes

But we ensure that we fix all issues, Its hard because if you report lag it can be one of many things -:

1: Network issue.
2: Your own MOHAA server.
3: Software Problem On AAAA Host Server.
4: Operating System On AAAA Host Server.
5: Heatsink doing maintenance and housekeeping - backups stuff like that.

So what to do if you get lag or cant connect -: (very unlikely but just incase)

1.Check the AAAA Shout box if their is planned or known problems they will be posted on the shout box - For planned house keeping I will also post in the events block.
2. Check to see if its just your own server so for example if your on DEDI 1 - : 109.70.148.54 check one of the other clans servers hosted on that dedi see if they are getting lag to.
3. Shout it on the shoutbox others will check and feed back also.
4. Check the TS servers we have two one on dedi 1and one on dedi 2 are they working
5. Check the server Status block on main page this updates every 15 mins.
6. Always report your IP and port of your server and as much info as possible it all helps trace problems.

What can I do stop problems -:
1. Your server will be rebooted at least once every 2 weeks when AAAA reboots the hardware but In my opinion a MOHAA server should be booted once a week - so try and reboot your server once a week when you can.
2. Protection - change your rcon password - Install Joto;s anti flood protection - posted on AAAA mods - X-null and direct from SCAPP for latest version its called GSPROTECTOR
3. Mods cause problems - always load test your mods with players - dont load to many mods they conflict - Once your server is stable and you are not testing turn SV developer off to 0 (When on floods log and console with errors and stats)

So What Else..................
AAAA have now launched a MAP and MOD Database Its success will be based on if players support it and upload to help Shadow has already uploaded many maps so at present I am going to do more on the mod side to get that with more content but if you just upload one mod or map it helps and hopefully you will start to see maps and mods you have not seen before so please help
Links for this are on the main AAAA Menu

I have launched a better clan database please see clan menu -:

and

Add your clan -:

No plans to expand to a fourth dedi box yet but that can change quickly - at present we are well balanced and have plenty of scope for expansion in existing hardware.

It has been raised before about hosting an EU server - I am all up for this but it must be costed so we would need to have clans signed up for us to look into costing a EU based server...so thats an open page on that one.........

AAAA Website - is now stable but I am still trying to move it - we would not save on costs as we have free hosting with Gaming Deluxe but we would get a Faster site but would have to increase storage costs with GD but we do need to move as its getting more members our current host throttles and I would be happy to increase costs by a small amount they dont seem able to........ any way leave that with me for now

MOHAAC - Rocking the house down - Steve has now completed most of his work so if you dont like it SHAME on you because he has enhanced it with every thing we asked so if you got an issue or need something then please feed back on MOHAAC site -:
http://mohaac.elitehitmen.org/

AAAA League -:

A new clan has joined "RED ARMY" - please give them a big welcome and get some friendly matches going

Whats left now.........

In my Opinion

Well having just played the MOHAA-ATHON I ran MOHAAC throughout - I would ask all AAAA members to help promote this - Its been only out a few months yet has achieved more goals in my eye's then any other anti cheat client - The best anti cheat client I have ever used was Serverwatch which was past its time and not supported but IMO MOHAAC surpasses DMW and UAC3 in one no question....... Some of you will say yeh but we dont get problems with DMW and UAC3 - well all I will say is what problems have you reported them on MOHAAC forum ? - DMW and UAC3 do a google their are more cheats for the anti cheat than cheat for mohaa lol.........

Well all thats left is to say some big thank you's !!!

First of all may thanks to Linda for her continued support on AAAA and my own clan MEGA

Big Thanks to Tom for all his hard work in supporting AAAA in so many areas

Many thanks to Shadow for all his help towards the map / mod database

A Massive thanks to Steve at MOHAAC for listening and putting up with all or request's

As always many thanks to X-null for their continued support and dev on the patch

A big thanks to Joto for the GSPROTECTOR we are still rolling this out to all the AAAA servers

Well I could go on all night its great to see Elgan still Knocking out some bloody great mods

Many Thanks to the MAT Crew for the MOHAA-ATHON brillant event well enjoyed.

And as always a big thanks to all the AAAA crew for supporting and helping keeping MOHAA a live - :
