move* not movie, lol.

Great :) Let us know of the IP once stuff gets setup so we can start advertising in UHC about the movie. Also, start turning this group into what it should be, and create the admins group.

Server has been purchased.
a_drunk 19 Jul, 2011 @ 2:54am 
The plan at the moment is to have everything finished by friday which is why we are sort of pushing to get things done.
a_drunk 19 Jul, 2011 @ 2:53am 
@QuickSkope: I've missed you by an hour or 2 the last few days, wanted to talk to you about organising the server. I'm gonna have a quick look through the 4 hosts you suggested in a previous post and I'll pay for the server so we can start getting it set-up to use.

You also didn't miss too much in the meeting anyway, but yea I understand it's a bit hard to try to plan a meeting that everyone can attend.

Hopefully once everything is up and running smoothly it will be a lot easier for people to discuss things as we can just make threads in the admin section of UTC. There is just more of a rush for things to get completed at the moment so it's a bit hard to have 3 meeting instead of one (1 meeting for each timezone and 1 for meeting between timezones).

we should advertise on the uhc server of the move and once we get an ip

We need meetings that Can fit most people, and if we cant fit that, then we need a North American and a European meeting, and we need representatives from each to get together and talk. Thoroughly disappointed in whoever schedulled the meetings.

hey just letting u know that u can add me from this account if u need to talk to me. -a_drunk. I have just been having a few days break from everything coz real life has me pinned down at the moment.
Chaos 14 Jul, 2011 @ 11:29pm 
Domain is sorted. Donate@unusualtradingcommunity.com is working. The website is working. Waiting on a server so I can start setting up and testing SourceBans. C'mon guys.

As for things we need done, look at the website! it's empty! Signup, start writing up rulesets and filling it up! It's not just there to look at!

We also need to "elect" head admin(s). Get the ball rolling guys!
E! 14 Jul, 2011 @ 7:53pm 
whats new guys. any updates? we need anything?
LIFER 13 Jul, 2011 @ 1:13pm

Big Bang Theory 12 Jul, 2011 @ 2:43pm 
John, how do we get the source format of the map and the plugins?
I Smell a Thurd 10 Jul, 2011 @ 9:26pm 
Were Waiting on a Domain Change from Tf2-Utc.com to www.unusualtradingcommunity.com

Big Bang Has offered up a server that we can use, so that should be pretty sick. Thank you Sir :3

Server [X]
Website [X]
Whats next boys?

John Says we Can keep the Map and All its plug ins, so we will go in and swap out the Logo and the Unusual Hat Club Branding.
horses dont stop they keep goin 10 Jul, 2011 @ 11:38am 
How about tf2utc.com
@CmdrSchwegs 9 Jul, 2011 @ 1:28am 
I r regizteredz 4 ur new site. plz 2 gib me permishuns 2 do stuffs?

PS Thanks for starting up the site chaos?

PS What's next on the todo list now that we (appear) to have decided on www.unusualtradingcommunity.com for the url?
Chaos 8 Jul, 2011 @ 4:24am 
LOL n1mz and quickskope. I've started the site, I've told you that, asked you to look at it. like 75% done
I Smell a Thurd 8 Jul, 2011 @ 12:02am 
I'll get all the hosting and ♥♥♥♥ done tomorrow. I have a morning swim 6 hours from now, and will be home 2 hours later. If people who would LIKE to contribute to the Server setup, they should add me pronto.

I want the servers fully operational (And the website if it already isnt) Done by Monday.

Also, we need some donations (or rather split costing) in Hosting the server. I'm fine to have it run off my Paypal, and I can manage UTC funds (Donations and Other).

Anyway, Server setup starts (Hopefully) in 8 hours from this Post, ADD ME!
LIFER 6 Jul, 2011 @ 7:51am 
i lol'd chaos haha very true.. well how about: unusualtradinghatcommunityclubofoutstandinggentlemenand1girl.com
Chaos 6 Jul, 2011 @ 7:31am 
we're already up and running website wise John. Just finishing it off and making it work like we need it to.

Also, N1Mz, that looks like it might be an unreal tournament website lol.

I like the look of unusualtradingcommunity.com but it's a bit long to type. So either is good for me. But the long one is probs more professional

a_drunk 5 Jul, 2011 @ 8:33pm 
QuickSkope, most people at the time thought typing the whole name in the URL was a bit much, and tf2utc looks very random and I think that is why the - was added. I don't mind paying for it to get changed but it should be what the majority wants. And as Chaos said we needed something that we could actually get started on. I don't think it's right to drag this process out and make John wait to close UHC, but we also need it done properly. I'll make an announcement and us UHC admins can make our vote on both URLs.

@DataStorm I find mediafire offensive and I have a premium account with fileserve and it also acts as a double backup for me which is easily accessable for me.
Chaos 5 Jul, 2011 @ 4:34am 
Quick, we could use unusualtradingcommunity.com and setup tf2-utc.com as a redirect. it's not hard. We really needed something so we can get the site started
DataStorm 4 Jul, 2011 @ 6:38pm 
@a_drunk can you next time use a less horrid upload host? like mediafire.com or some like that. Its fecking annoying that site, way too much bling bling and crap.
I Smell a Thurd 4 Jul, 2011 @ 4:57pm 
Im personally Disappointed with the Domain Choice. Tf2-UTC.com

That is HORID, its EXACTLY what blackened has, its not keen, who wants to put a dash in the URL?

www.UnusualTradeCommunity.com

^^Thats what it SHOULD have been.
I will pay the domain transfer fee if we can get that done.
@CmdrSchwegs 4 Jul, 2011 @ 12:46am 
a_drunk, thanks for taking the lead on keeping things moving. I'm sorry I don't get the chat invites due to time-zone issues.

John, thanks for providing time to transitioning the community, rather than just unplugging like you had talked about in the original conversations.
a_drunk 3 Jul, 2011 @ 9:53am 
UTC is chosen and we now have a domain, waiting for status of that to stop pending then chaos can get to work on there. Hopefully banner and such wont take too long then we can start really getting this thing going. My appologies to those that weren't online for the discussing for name. We just needed to get this thing moving a bit faster. for those that missed the chat here is the log: http://www.fileserve.com/file/XdyYsYc
Muggie ♥ 1 Jul, 2011 @ 11:37pm 
I think something with "trader's union" would sound nice. kinda more serious of a name than unusual hat club?
I Smell a Thurd 1 Jul, 2011 @ 11:33pm 
I Smell a Thurd 1 Jul, 2011 @ 11:28pm 
I like Unusual Trading Community. I've sourced out Serverwise, I'll Talk to A_Drunk about that tomorrow.

Get the Domain: www.UnusualTradingCommunity.com

And I think we should be good
a_drunk 1 Jul, 2011 @ 9:35am 
Also if people can post any updates they have on what they are working on, need anything tested, or need some funding for some reason, please post here so we all know. Chaos I'm looking at u, lol, if u need to be able to test on a better site let me know via steam and i'll organise it for u. We also need some more good name to select from.
a_drunk 1 Jul, 2011 @ 9:31am 
A name is ULTRA important but really I think that getting both game server and website setup and running correctly isd paramount, as names can always be added towards final stage. It's not like we'll be advertising til we are a lot more ready.

EO looks ok, I was looking at These.

FragFest Being a Good one ive Heard.

Host Gator is Pretty good, I used it with an old site, so that we will probably stick with.

I run my own minecraft Server with a Mix of PHPMYAdmin, MySQL for Databasing. SSH might be useful, depending on who we have running everything.

Honestly, I find VB PRETTY Costly, and ATM, with this Starting of a new community, we probably should stear Clear, until we establish some steady donations to keep us afloat.

So, Hosting and Databasing Shouldnt be a problem, but we need to figure a way to work the Donations without VB for the Time Being, if possible.

SourceBans is a Must, just FYI.
I Smell a Thurd 29 Jun, 2011 @ 2:10pm 
Im Dealing with the Hosting, got a few outlined.
