The move is complete. Welcome to the new home of the OwP!

Okay lads, currently all you're getting is my mp3 collection with the occasional shoutout and request, but I really want to make this radio station something, and I will need YOUR HELP. I would ideally like to make it the real-time centre of our community, broadcasting everything from general gaming and [OwP] news, to wider news, to match commentary, different DJs, the lot.

To do that we're gonna need a number of things. We need a website, a good host for the station and some publicity.

Now the website is cool. I’m in the process of designing one as part of my night class course, and it's shaping up well. I hope to have it online in about six weeks and a teaser online very soon. The publicity will go with the website, quite probably, either way our listener base will build steadily.

The crux of the issue at the minute is hosting. The station is currently running off my home box, which is on a 1mbit connection. I can host nearly a dozen listeners at any one time which is cool for now but as we grow will prove inadequate. Also, if I have to go offline for whatever reason the station does too, and I have to listen to winamp all the time, even if I have other DJs connecting.

Now SHOUTcast is the software we are using to broadcast with, and there are linux and windows versions of it. Alas I am crap at linux. What we ideally need is someone or somewhere that can host a fat upstream connection, possibly even a T1. If you know of anyone that has about 512k upstream or more to spare, and is feeling charitable, PLEASE let me know so that I can try to obtain a host to meet our growing needs.

We may turn to commercial server operators for sponsorship of a SHOUTcast server later on, but so far they have not been forthcoming, with the exception of the most excellent ReconGamer. Alas I was offline and never finalised the arrangements with my contact.

In summary; if you want to help [OwP] grow, help us with the radio station! We need to expand our listener base, we need DJs and most of all we need a server host!

I'm currently impact testing the new host and server connection for the radio station. feel free to help us out by connecting to the Radio Station. You can request from our songlist by joining Quakenet IRC, #PFJ channel, or ICQ me on 113087177

Well, after a year at our present host, we are moving. Over the next few days we will be migrating everything over to the new host so you may not be able to get to the site or the forums for a while. For this we apologise. We feel the additional services we will be able to provide at the new host will more than make up for the inconvenience.

The servers pages have finally been sorted out after a large amount of downtime due to Server Spy changing the way they operate and my inactivity. Now the script is hosted on El Capitan's server so there should be no more problems.

Quite a few of the listed servers seem to have shut down now, so if you are having a problem viewing a server then this may be the case. I know Major Malfunction is trying to wade through the list and weed out inactive servers but this takes time.

Thanks to El Capitan for his big help in hosting the new script.
