I make this suggestion after the discussion there has been in the third page (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13277.30.html) of this thread (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13277.0.html): some people like Reny say that the server is empty because of the port change, whereas Roach says that if the server were good enough, people would search for it. Well, actually the problem with the searchs is not people not searching due to lack of interest, but people searching and not finding due to lack of information: when you know a server's name (like LVP, Partyserver or GamerX), you only have to Google it, browse its homepage and you have the ip there, however with LW it's not that way.
- A summary of the changes that you want: LW servers' ips clearly announced on LW homepage.
- The advantages of this change happening: People wanting to join LW but not knowing its ip, now would be able to do it = MORE PLAYERS. Also, implementing that on the web page would be really easy and could be done in a moment, and it's logical to announce the ips of your servers.
- The disadvantages of this change happening: ABSOLUTELY NONE.

I haden't seen that, and you can be sure that as me, many other people visiting this page. HIDING the ip inside a thread that is between hundreds of more threads, is not the best example of visibility...
It should be on top of the homepage.
.
-
no it should be posted in google's homepage
-
no it should be posted in google's homepage
INDEED.

no it should be posted in google's homepage
Fuck off Scott, why HIDE the ips in that labyrinth? do you really think everyone is gonna DIVE in such a mess?? it's absolutely NO EFFORT to add this to the page. And then people cry because the server is empty...
Look and learn from the competence:

(this server has a forum that looks almost the same as ours, so you can follow their example)

For fuck sake Gryphus is right here, the server ip is the first thing that visitors should see (except the name of course).
-
It may be done this way for example:
(https://littlewhiteys.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi431.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fqq38%2Fjosemhv84%2Flwip.jpg&hash=1113f5ad1747148a57f80f283a51f0522663257f)
I have done it just by saving a copy of the page in my computer and modifying it with Notepad, it has been really easy, even a one year old baby would be able to do it (but Benny wouldn't ;D )
-
adding it to google would still own that tho
-
Add that IP to ur facebook profile,twitter,myspace,youtube,msn,skype....and rest of it! :P
Like I said b4! 8)
-
yea +1.
announce it big and fat on the littlewhiteys.co.uk mainpage and not in some random thread.
-
Ohh I forgot this: there's another good reason to do this: we all know that the rules agreement dialog that appears when you join the server with an unregistered nick, is making many players be kicked and not relog again. Well, if all those new players that are kicked by the rules agreement, are lazy enough to not reconnect, do you really think they are gonna search the ip among all those random threads?? If so many people admits the rules agreement dialog is a problem and agree in removing it, why shouldn't we do this too??
.
-
Lol what to discuss here, no disadvantages and it's fuckin easy to be done. Just accept it and close the topic.
-
I guess all the admins & scripters are on holiday.
I've seen alot of small changes & fixes been made after months of an idea worked out.
and some of them still aren't fixed!!!!
-
umm...I think u missed a point....! ???
Its not to get more ppl on forum...its to get ppl from FORUM on SERVER! ;D
-
Regardless of the discussion that this topic has caused I don't see any harm in this suggestion and agree that it should be implented.
It looks representive and if even one player out of 1000 joins by any chance through this forum, why would you not do it.
If it was a very troublesome thing to script or add it wouldn't be worth it but I think this will be a piece of cake for someone that knows his basics with forumediting.
-
no it should be posted in google's homepage
why not
-
Btw am i the only one seeing here that gryphus is a total retard or what ?
Yes because you are the only one here that is taking drugs and therefore sees irreal things (like your suppossed lack of sense of this thread). HAHA!!! and you ask if you are the only one? but do you really expect everyone else to be as stupid as you or what??
You should be banned for trolling in every single thread I open and asking them to lock it, no matter if what I say are just personal opinions or universal truths like 2+2=4. Listen to all the people that are supporting this suggestion.
Ohh and one last thing: if you ever heard the name of Littlewhiteys and wanted to join it, what would you do? search for the server among the endless Samp list, or just Google it and try to find its ip in its homepage like in other servers? Ohh and about the forum search, it would give you many other results just containing the word "ip", moron.

Agreed, I've seen more comments like that & not only from benny.
You get those comments mostly from people who probably have a plate in front of their heads & think they know everything better, because they played longer or have more experience or whatever
( " Ohw i play this game sway longer than you do, i am so much smarter, i know everything, im the best, only my ideas & opinions are good." )
nice mentality.
Yea, you guys are so great, so smart, you guys live in the past.
thats why your minds aren't open for new idea's & not listening/reading what others have to say which results in you stupid people calling others retards while they only want to help improve the server & get more players in.
THAT is more retarded that anything.
Anyway, i guess this idea has been accepted??
-
Yeah Roach, very true.
And another thing: Benny says people visiting this page should search for the ip, but he seems to have missed this:
if all those new players that are kicked by the rules agreement, are lazy enough to not reconnect, do you really think they are gonna search the ip among all those random threads?? If so many people admits the rules agreement dialog is a problem and agree in removing it, why shouldn't we do this too??
Benny talks about people being lazy... well, I have some things to say about this:
1-If people are lazy, you cannot change that, so the server better gets adapted to this instead of putting more barriers, if it doesn't wanna be empty.
2-Maybe they are lazy only for these things, but probably they can do other things (either in the game or in real life) that you cannot do or you are too lazy to. For example, Benny you use Windows for everything (and not only to play) because you are too lazy to use Linux. OWNED!!!!!
-
Now let's lock this topic and move it up to accepted suggestions ^^
-
Also if your stupid enough to only search on ''ip'' than i got no hope for u.
I'm not talking about me, but about any random new player wanting to join the server. And in any case, if you are so clever and smart, then explain to us all: what's the problem in showing the ip clearly? what's the advantage of HIDDING it inside a random thread that is in a random board, as if they were ashamed of showing the ip? because you haven't given any true reason why they shouldn't accept this suggestion, you have only trolled.
Another thing u dont know me. U dont know if i do drugs and no i dont do drugs. If your that simple minded than what u even doing here You always say stuff that you think is gunna hit me but in the end u dont know me its a bit prejudice dont u think to talk about people and say stuff about them while u dont even know them
You don't know me either, and it's you who started saying bullshit, so all those things you say, you have to eat them!!! OWNED!!!
(i also remember u saying u was gunna quit after a discussion u couldnt win from me Gryphus whats up with that ?)
Wtf are you talking about, liar???
Btw you can try and stop provoking me cuz it only makes you stupid. And pretty much not believable.
Ohh yeah, and trolling and talking about nonsense in a suggestion that is super easy to implement, that has absolutely no disadvantages, that is FULL OF PURE LOGIC and that is supported by many people (basically those who have a brain), what does that turn you into then??
As I have said before, you have a short time (before they lock the thread and it's either rejected or accepted) to explain why this suggestion is nonsense, if you don't wanna show the whole world that you are a stupid retard.
-
Robby, you always agree with stupids who troll suggestions without giving reasons, so you are nothing to take into account.
-
Well basicly.
Hide the IP so they look in other threads aswell, like rules, or how to avoid idiots like you gryphus. Thats basicly the reason why you should just keep it in one of the stickied threads.
And why didn't you say this from the very first moment, instead of unloading all that previous shit??
-
petty comments aside, u have a good point. finding the server ip from google is too many clicks and farting around
+1
-
Benny you have disappointed me: when we two seemed to be calming down, now you start raging again...
In the end people first look for a Multiplayer for San andreas. So the look for ''San andreas multiplayer'' They see either MTA or SAMP. If they pick SAMP first thing they do is install it and connect to a server. And then they check for other servers that have players in them. They would hardly go look for a good samp server on Google. even if they heard the name littlewhiteys they wouldnt google it they would just look it up in the list.
In this case you are talking about brand new players who use Samp for the first time and they start playing just by choosing the first random server they see on the list. Yeah, in this case they aren't gonna search LW's ip in Google nor in the forum, but I'm talking about players like any of us, who have been playing Samp for some time and suddenly they hear/read a server's name that they didn't know (and you gave me the perfect example when you mentioned AdrenalineX in the other thread, although the same case I had some time ago when everyone was talking about LVP and I wanted to try it). It's in THESE CASES when the players are more likely to Google the server's name rather than looking for it in the endless Samp list!!!!
Btw haven't you seen you are the only fool trolling in this suggestion that everyone else is supporting?

When i come with a good solid argument. Its his job to break that argument to proof me wrong.
Basicly im doing him a favour.
Yeah, and you haven't shown your argument until the end of the second page of the thread, after filling all the previous space with a full load of bullshit.
-
Well I don't know if this suggestion is gonna be acepted, but at least I see that the server's ip has been included in the webpage that Devilboy has created (http://littlewhiteys.webs.com/) and the picture that Ace has created and shown in this thread (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13635.msg125556.html#msg125556), so if my influence is making some effects I can be happy with that. :)
-
I know lolz! I created that 4 fun! But it looks great right!? :P
Ill delete it if I have to! But why wont I leave it...It could help LW...like when ppls will search for it! ;)
Anywayz...I didnt create anything different! And forum link leads u 2 here! So its just like comercial website! Not official!
p.s.Im sure some of admins saw it already...but no1 told me that I should delete it!
I might be stupid and stuff...but fuck it!¨ ;D
-
:D I know Benny...and ty Benny! ;)
And Gorrila! What he said...and I dont wannabe normal...so :-*

Well, I see they have finally made it, very similar to the example screenshot I posted on the first page of the thread. :)
-
2nd ever I agree with gyphus is this one, but please, stop talking as if all new players were the most dumb idiots on this planet..
Robby, you always disagree with stupids who troll suggest dumb suggestions without giving having any plan about how shit worked before they came and make anything worse reasons, so you are nothing something to take into account.
:-*
Now, close it already.

Robby, the second time you agree with me? when was the first one? I don't ask to argue, I only want to know, because I don't remember it.
I'm not saying that all new players are the most dumb idiots on this planet, but if you see all those newcomers being kicked for not agreeing to rules and not bothering to relog again, then you can guess by logic that they wouldn't search for the ip very deeply, so don't put yourself at their same level by saying that this is a dumb suggestion (besides, I thought you said that you agree with me this time).

It depends on the player: if he is brand new in Samp, then I agree that he won't search in Google (because he is not looking for any server in particular), he will just open Samp and choose any random server he finds on the list.
However, I'm talking about players like any of us, that have been playing Samp for some time and they have heard about some servers' names. For example, when I saw people talking about LVP and Partyserver and I wanted to try them, I searched for them in Google, not in the endless Samp list, and I'm sure most people in that situation would do the same. It's that kind of player the main target I want to help with this suggestion.
