As you may or may not know there was a discussion started recently about
whether or not it would be a good idea to rent a server and share the
cost through several members.
There have been one or two new developments. Some friends from work, a
couple called lis and stu who buy they're hosting and use it to run UT
servers and their website: http://www.utbox.34sp.com
Now normally an 18 player CS:S server would be about £44 and they're
offering us one for about £35. Now nothing is finalized yet, they've not
got the ok from their community nor have they've not finalized the price
or got the ok from their host 34sp.com.
That aside, who else is interested. If you're interested then post here

At present the cost to each interested party would be £7 but I hope to
get more involved to make the expense for all involved so small that it
be unnoticeable.
If I can get more people involved then we can go into greater detail,
such as how do we go about making this so T-AGHL doesn't clash with AGHL
public play and AGHL bashes. I know this may sound a little set-in-stone
but I'd much prefer that no ill feeling come about because some people
don't think they're getting what they're paying for.
One way we could do this is 'Allotted Server Time'
Allotted Server Time
===================
I think that public should make up the majority of the servers up time.
The rest should be divided between AGHL bashes and T-AGHL
practice/matches.
As mentioned on the forum the server will eventually be able to run any
mod which we choose to run which is singly the biggest advantage of
going through lis and stu so eventually I imagine it wouldn't be
surprising if there were more than one bash per week. Now considering
that bashes usually average about 3-5 hours and at a potential two
bashes a week that would amount to 10 hours out of the 168 in any given
week.
T-AGHL shouldn't need more than 5 matches per week and more likely it
will be less but at an average of an hour per match that would be about
5 hours.
The other system we could use is the 'booking' system where T-AGHL or
bash organisers would have to book server time ahead. It's not
unreasonable to combine the time allotment idea and the booking idea
with this: http://tinyurl.com/4rsqs
I'm just musing ideas. I refuse to go into this blind and I really
insist that everyone knows what 'the score' is before we go ahead. I'll
mirror this post on my forum for future reference.
All I ask is before you think about knocking this post please come up
with an alterative suggestion.
That's it for now.
