We are very hopeful that we will get many submissions and we aren't restricting anyone to a submission limit. That is, anyone can submit as many graphics as they want. We don't want to deny anyone the chance to give us their best work possible so please feel free to go PHOTOSHOP CRAZY!

Once the voting starts, another news post will be made with full instructions on how to submit your vote. Hopefully before the end of the week we will have a spot where you can submit your finished work. Please tell as many people as you know to come sign up for the forum and start working on something.

Good luck!

Phoenix Edit:
you can find the logo used in the current banner:Here Both logos are acceptable.

Good luck!

Clan Meeting - Friday, January 22
10:00PM EST
12:00AM EST


A lot of changes have been happening around awpaholica lately, and naturally there are a few people who are swept up in it all. For this reason we've decided to hold a clan meeting to clear the air and get everything settled. If anyone has any problems, announcements, suggestions, etc. or just wants to be there to put in their two cents on issues, you're welcome.

As always, the meeting will be in ventrilo, with everyone talking in chat to keep the noise level down unless you've explicitly requested to talk. Make sure TTS is disabled. Keep in mind that it is very difficult for us to hold a structured meeting in ventrilo, so your cooperation is expected. We won't tolerate any douchebaggery.

We have an agenda of issues to discuss, so if you want your input to be heard, try to be there. After we've gotten through everything on our list, we'd be more than happy to bring up other topics that people may have. Try to keep in mind the time as not everyone can stay forever.

See you guys Friday!

I Know we've done this all before, however, I feel it may have gotten a bad rap... AwpaholicA.com gives you your very own TF2 Server!  Complete with admin, 5 second respawns, globalbans integration, and cute little portal sentry gun sounds, so you can hear that sweet voice as it blasts you into oblivion... Removed, to prevent long downloads.


Go play it! it's currently in place of the fun server! (same address and port)

I had lots of fun folks
Till next year <3

Server Load Testing



This weekend we will be making some minor modifications to our server resource allocation in order to attempt to accommodate more slots for our ArmA2 server. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we will be periodically checking the server load and making modifications to see how the server handles it. If all goes well, we'll be upping the number of slots for ArmA2!

What I need from YOU: Be as active as you can this weekend, on ALL of our servers. Ideally I'd like to see at least GunGame and ArmA2 to be consistently full for several hours with each change I make. At times I'd also like to get a few people into pub1 to test the performance and such, but its obviously not as important.

So lets use this as an opportunity for a weekend long partay and try to get everyone online for as long as possible and kill some biatches!
