While I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge I know virtually nothing about the running of ac servers Rampage, I haven't yet become so senile that I can't tell if I've been disconnected from a server, or that a server is lagging, for whatever reason.
I also cant help noticing that the other servers that I have played on don't lag to the point of disconnection; (BCHF for example, mentioned in the OP) among others and many hardly lag at all, even with a number of higher than average ping players connected. This rather rules out a problem with my ISP and maybe even other lagging players.
Further, I know Bob are aware of the problem; a couple of Bob members have mentioned the problem with lag to me "in game" as have quite a few players. If my memory serves me there was at some point a banner on the Bob ladder page that mentioned Bob were aware of the problem.
While pointing out my ignorance of server running and computer matters in general (which I'm quite happy to acknowledge) and stating your seeming indigence and disappointment that a "well known community member" should even consider complaining about the state of servers may seem may seem initially a sound point scoring stratagem designed to tell off the ignorant without resorting to "juicy" language, the simple fact remains, YER FECKIN SERVERS LAG LIKE FECK!
Now if I was about the business of feigning indifference about the state of the ladder servers your implication that I should shut up and go play elsewhere might well encourage a small tantrum were I said I couldn't give a toss about yer feckin crap servers and that might be the end of it.
However, for all my faults I'm honest about my interest in this game and its infrastructure and while it may not be apparent to you, if I am well known for anything, it's being an incurable ladder whore ( I believe the saying goes) and want to not only play on your servers without these constant disconnections, but also on any other servers that have that irresistible glowing addition to their description that says "ladder'.
I know it's sad and a pouting sulk with added insults is far cooler; but hey, what can i tell you.
So, pretty please with cookies, sort the servers out or take them down until the problems are resolved.
