well today i was thinking ( i have resently moved to perth ) what if we put together a bit of a socal club?
like perhaps on a sunday and some of the members can get together and play some sports games down at a park, or even a lan night, which is we charge $10 to come, we can use the money to have like a free BBQ night every so often to get new members!, and buy new equipment for our servers ect. you know try and get some more love into this foram, and also get us off our asses and get out and have more fun, cause talking to a forum is fun, but actually getting up and haveing a yell at some one is even more fun

i dont know any ideas or suggestions? yes no maybe?

Oh cool now where BBQ(I nowhere near Western Australia) It looks like tipoff of my idea rockstar social club ,through It good that I not only one trying to keep this place alive. The only person I invited was Bobo ^.^ from FB and most of my US friends from xbox don't even have computer. lol ;D

sounds like a good idea now for logistics!

Well don't do it on week day I want to joIn LAN party too

??? isn't LAN local access network?

Have you not heard of a LAN party?

I know what it is
My friend had xbox lan party at his birthday party. Halo reach on two tvs 9 players = awesome. You can just make a game lobby invites only.i just typing this on my phone

No, of course i know about LAN parties what i meant was from what i understand you need to link up the computers physically or could you do it online somehow so people not in perth can join in?

It really depends on the game e.g goldeneye souce make a password protected server if you want someone one specific to join from net

A LAN party would generally just be people all bringing their computers and hooking them up, but then you can have people joining from outside of that set up

people please it is fun debaiting this, but do we as a group beleave this is a good idea or not?

yes!!!!

Bring it on :-D

Admin says yes!

Nice about time someone thought about it :-D

Note for you guys.
Programs such as Hamachi allow for "LAN" connections, worldwide, but are ineffective without semi decent UL speeds

yeah, I know about Hamachi and I find it such a flawed program.

It's not the greatest, but it's workable if you put in the effort.
I just find it simpler to host through my PC and let others join remotely, though it's inefficient.
Flaws with Hamachi are increased network risks etc

wait how all sudden ,we now discussing about lan stuff????
