Topic: Server Administrators: Please Respond (Read 1585 times)

Server administrators, you are the selfless slaves of code that make SFC the fun that it is for the rest of us. I'm interested in devoting a portion of BattleClinic to the exclusive use of server admins.

Is there already a centralized website for SFC where server admins can post configurations, server settings, rulesets, map & mod files, problems noted and solved, and pointers to resources?

If not, should there be? Or are the forums good enough?

Would something like this, available exclusively to server admins and protected, be of value?

If so, what features would you wish to see?

What would the site need to be able to store, change, or provide access to?

What else would make a site like this valuable?

Looking forward to your thoughts,
SghnDubh

Edit: There are folks out there --SFCX.NET for example--which already devote space & time to server admins. This is not an attempt to compete with them. Please don't miscontrue this post as "BattleClinic can do it better." This is a post to see if there's a need, and combine that need with upcoming BattleClinic functionality. If there's no need, the 'clinic willl serve the community in other ways.

SFCX has been doing this for a bit now but the more sites that do this the better .As of now the triangle is dead because of real life things but i would offer up my forum for any one to use and reconfigure for this very thing .
