Don't forget XWIS is a free service. I and everyone can use it and not pay a dime for it. Bitching is the easy way (and free too) but not very thankful.
That being said, I hope Olaf, or another person from XWIS will give us a some information on the down time, like how, or how long. I understand if it's just a few minutes, or maybe an hour or so, they don't. But, like last time, the down time is considerable this time. It's not good for the game.

Also what happened to you can change your ISP I doubt you even know what a VPN is or even a remote idea of how the Internet even works.

If I disregard the deficit of cohesion between his statements, and the lack of proper spelling and use of symbols I think I know what he was trying to say, and I lol'd. No hard feelings though Brandan

All the other IRC servers I've encountered are also free services, but they have an uptime that's a lot higher than XWIS and if they're having issues with uptime or have scheduled maintenance, they announce it (before hand). We have no idea what the fuck is going on. If Wilo is giving their server a miscarriage they can't do anything about it, but it's expected that the at least make an announcement about being attacked/downtime.

I have to admit that I'm not an expert on the Xwis subject.
However I think it should be possible that the Renfds will keep running when Xwis is offline example a dualconnection or autoswitch to Gamespy (Still outputting a warning that Xwis is offline and cant connect however / checking every 5 min)
Without the need to switch to gamespy and manual check when Xwis is back online.

How about the situation how it is now but then the other way around; host on gamespy, but also broadcast to XWIS. That would stop the FDS from crashing when XWIS goes down.
As for hosting our own XWIS; there is multiple reasons that I see to not desire that, the most important being that XWIS made legal agreements about it with EA games. The users of XWIS connect through it by a license from EA games. If we are to host our own XWIS we would not get the users, obviously. And why would we want to host our own XWIS if we can't get the users? And even so, it would not be prone to attacks/errors and (most importantly) renedrama. There would be no benefits to this idea, even more considering there is also gamespy, which is much less receptive for above listed destructive factors. But let's say we work that all out legally, who would host it? XWIS to me seems a very neutral host, and reasonable people will agree that neutrality is in danger when someone within the renegade community would host XWIS from now on.

BHS already controls the Renegade part of XWIS pretty much. Hosting in GameSpy mode isn't that smart as the FDS has special exceptions for GameSpy mode and that might cause unforseen issues. I think putting the FDS in LAN mode with some third party software to broadcast to GSA should work just fine. If someone would write third party software to connect to a WOL master server and handle everything that would be great, the FDS shuts down around 30 seconds after loading a level if it isn't connected to WOL anymore in WOL mode (with a sound of the Commando saying "real tough guy" being played and an admin message shown telling that the server shut down).

I heard the kick and ban console commands don't work properly if the server isn't running 4.0 (which is easy to fix by replacing the console commands) other than that I don't know of any issues, but then again I've never seen a server online running in LAN mode so I'm not sure.
