Today I saw this:
http://shad-99.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=151
and I was shocked. It was on from saturday and I thought some others would have seen it. Also his servers had a discription saying: shut down soon. But now its official: Shad has disbanned 40+. Today I chatted with him and he told me he was going to stop being as active as he was and quitting mapping for now. This is a great loss. And i am writing this in respect for him! I think he is one of the best mappers AC has ever known and a great fellow.
Shadmaster, we will miss you!

Being a 40+ member myself, this is a damn shame.
For any interested Urban Terror or RedEclipse players, he'll be hosting a server for those games, and maybe more (possible 1.0.0.4 server anyone?)...

Well i don't see any use of having them anymore that no one ever playing on them xD
I put password on to get rid of NOOBS, and made a simple bind key script (not mine) but BC-script as meny to add to your autoexec.cfg.. to make it easy to connect to servers. -But with no luck ! :(
So if you 40+ don't like to play there and (voting is enable).. then NO use of having them running 24/7 empty xD -Even blacklist was removed except for proxies etc.
But i will test open them again to test 100mbit and see of any improvement of less lag etc. - I can't wait to test them xD
Meantime they are shutdown due to lack of interrest to play on them. -Sorry!

OMG, Shad, you, and your servers, and your maps, and all what 40+ represents, are gonna be sadly missed.
Making the servers private wasnt a bad idea, and, that there were not many (if any) players has nothing to do with lack of interest, but that it doesnt fit with AC style, IMO. Seing players come and go, voting... that has its pros, and its cons as well...
But, let me tell you, you are one of the reasons why AC rocks (rocked?) so much thanks for being so awesome.
So, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee XDXDXDXDXDXD ;3, hope you still hang around forever...

it was. i don't know how you define "noobs", shad, but making your servers private was the point why i stopped playing on them. if i join a public server i just want to play and don't want to wait until someone who has the password joins after thirteen hours of waiting.. :)

This is bad news Shad :'( I loved playing on your servers with all your fantastic custom maps. Could you upload them somewhere for server owners to download so we dont lose them all please?

Really? *Sniff*!
:(
Always liked your server (+ the maps) and found the 40+ folks (flock) to be very friendly players.

I guess the Mayans were correct. The world ends in 2012.

I was always impressed by your motivation to keep on making maps and releasing them so quickly, shad-99. Good server with solid maps. :)
Tell [40+]Nightmare to join B} so we can have two B}Nightmare's.
