Ladies and genitalfriends,
The staff at negroserver has been considering retiring our flagship server, Negroserver Idle, due to inactivity. While it was a great server when it was appropriately timed, and was a draw when the content was fresh, its pretty clear at this point that TF2's ship has long since sailed from our ports. While there is still plenty of demand for TF2 itself, the game is old enough that our server is now completely irrelevant. There are flourishing communities and servers packed with 12 year olds like yourselves. There is no reason to join Negroserver Idle over these alternatives. If there was, the server wouldn't be empty. If there was a community to provide this gamemode to, we would continue to run it. However, we believe it no longer fills the role it once did and share the belief that there is simply no point in running it any further. We have every intention of running our iDull server, as well as our MvM server into the foreseeable future. I would also love a reason to re open our Vanilla TF2 server. But as far as our custom flagship idle is concerned, it has run its course and no longer contributes in any fashion to the negroserver community. Please feel free to speak your mind regarding this potential change before it is carved in stone.

Beyond TF2, we continue to update and polish our custom Minecraft mod, Negroserver Roots. Along side that, our starbound server is still kicking, for those who currently utilize it. We remain as open minded as we have been over the years, and hope that any user would feel compelled to offer any suggestions regarding games that we should host. We have tried, usually unsuccessfully, a multitude of alternative games over the past 5 years, and hope to continue to offer multiplayer servers for any in-demand game that can be implemented properly and sought by players.

Our next big goal is the creation of a GTA V multiplayer server. Long ago, Negroserver was founded solely to run a San Andreas: MultiPlayer server. Unfortunately for us, we were late to the game and not able to take advantage of the demand bubble. Since that time, The staff at Negroserver has pondered, dreamt, and prayed that the "sequel" to SA:MP would arrive and outperform its predecessor. Finally, after at least 5 years of suspense, GTA V has been born unto the PC scene, and a great, fan made multiplayer client is being created. This fan made software has all the potential in the world to meet and exceed the masterpiece that was SA:MP. And this time, we plan to be on the cusp of this wave, rather than the receding tides. Only time can truly tell if we will succeed on this new platform, but our hopes are high. We realize this transition might end up costing us some regular users who might not accept this evolution, but we also recognize the potential for expansion brought about by the introduction of a new platform. We hope and invite our current user base to take advantage of our alternative and future services, especially those you may not be familiar with.

One of those services you may not be familiar with, is one of our more recent projects, a Taima.tv channel. We have a custom user-tube, pre loaded with interesting and permanent streams, which also supports temporary additions from any registered user. It is a server running cytube syncware to allow multiple clients to watch internet based video and stream in sync, in addition to providing a chat and some other features. It is still a work in progress, but that aside, its still worth a visit. We hope to one day use it to resume our old "Negroserver Movie Nights" in addition to potentially harvesting its own cluster of internet children- as do our other services. It can be reached @ http://www.taima.tv/r/negro

dont forget it

After an extended power outage this morning, we have restored our server functionality.

Our IP address has changed to 108.50.199.223. As always, you can reach us at idle.negroserver.com. We hope to see you in game!

After a long time in the making, we are proud to officially announce our new Minecraft Modpack, Roots. Roots runs on the Technic Platform and features many interesting and diverse mods. We invite you to join and make yourself at home. At this time PVP is enabled, and raiding is not against the rules, so be sure to find a nice, secure, distant location for your base to limit your chances of invasion. You can get full details on the modpack as well as installation instructions at http://www.negroserver.com/forums/showthread.php?1363-Roots

To go along with our new minecraft server, we have recently replaced the old NS 1 server with a newer, more powerful system- NS EX. This is a completely separate machine from NS 2, which still hosts all our Source servers. The upgraded system runs noticeably smoother than our previous system, while maintaining a much lower running temperature.

Beyond that, we are still running an alpha version of our future trade_negro map on our idle server, as well as several other varying modes of TF2 on our other Source servers. Our TTT server has been offline for a while, since it's staff has gone AFK, but that can still be fired up on request if it was desired.

Our server's IP is currently 98.109.190.167, alternatively you can use our easier to remember subdomain, idle.negroserver.com
We hope to see you in game!

Did some forum service recently, updated the software, repaired some broken styles. As of this writing, everything but 'DarkVision' should work as intended. 'Steam Login Button' has not yet been added to the other styles, only the 'Negroserver' style. If you experience any issues while using the forum, please make a thread or let us know.
