Just a suggestion:

You could make direct link from starting (logged) players page to games he is playing. It will make checking game status faster and will encourage players to ID themselves in games they are playing.

You did great work with this server and helped MP community greatly. You earned a big THANK YOU from me.

I'm not sure I understand... I already have a page that show which games the player havn't taken his turn in:
Points of Interests
And a page that show games that a player either started or play in. Maybe it's because I don't recognize the "starting (logged) players page" --- which page is that? Sorry if I'm being dense


And you're welcome :-) And I appreciate all the suggestions I receive, even though I sometimes doesn't get around to thank you for them It's been a fun project; only wish I had 256Mb extra RAM of whatever type my Celeron 300Mhz server uses, so I could run more games simultanosly.

Ahh, sorry. You already have "My games" option that does what I suggested. I thought it only shows games you started.

I started another thread where I suggested that you create a small Paypal donation button on your website... or somewhere else.

I would certainly be willing to donate $10-$20 for the purchase of more ram or whatever else you want to add to your game server. If everyone that used your server donated a few dollars it would be a decent amount of money to finance some upgrades.

While I really appreciate the sentiment, I really do not wish money for what I do. If I received money, I would feel I had to provide this service, and use the money to buy stuff for the server. That would kill the fun.

However, if anybody knows the type of RAM a Celeron 300Mhz computer would use, and had a 128--256Mb or so block of the stuff lying around, then I wouldn't mind accepting that. I doubt it is worth more than $20 now-a-days, though you never know. If you decide to do this, I'll take the server down, open the box and have a look inside to see how many slots are free.

And my next computer upgrade is probably in a few months in any case. Me & and my wife are getting cramped on our two non-server computers. If that happen, I migh even upgrade the server-to-be to 1Gb RAM --- enough for any number of Dominions2 games.

Again, I really, really appreciate the sentiment. But I do this for fun, and money would kill that fun.

Server pages has been updated. Check the news on the page itself (don't care to write the whole shebang again).

Though looking at the submitted jabber ids was interesting. My Favorites were "huh?" and "Iamnot@real"

I'm guessing your server uses PC100 RAM if it is only running on a celeron 300. I don't know if it would registered RAM or not.

You might try looking it up on Crucial.com

We probably have some old RAM at the office that we are not using any more. I'll check if I know exactly what you need.
