That's right folks....WE MOVED.  You can find the new server directly next to this very post in the Gametracker tab (Top right hand side).  This should alleviate any problems we've been having with lag or ping when things get crowded.  So make sure you stop by the new place, add us to your favorites and spread the word.  Help out anybody who seems lost or deprived of mediocrity in any way.

Server IP:   205.234.166.21:27015

 Also just a friendly reminder that STNO is run entirely from your donations.  We understand if you can't, but if you can help us out in any way (click on the "Donate" button on the left hand side of this site), we do very much appreciate your support.  There are a couple of exciting projects in the works at the moment so make sure you keep up with the forums and we'll see you in-game at our new digs.

STNO servers have come back online after an unplanned outage yesterday.

The unplanned outage was due to our host being hacked and our accounts being wiped.  They lost all our records of payment and never informed me of such an intrustion.  In all reality, we don't know if our accounts are actually safe, due to this breach of security. See http://support.darkstarllc.com/index.php?_m=news&_a=viewnews&newsid=3

In more happier news, STNO is in talks with with DarkStarLLC.com to provide you, the regulars, with something free.  We're requesting some free time so that you regs can benefit from playing on our servers at no cost (it's not like we ever charged you in the first place ).

So, come back regs and play on our servers and have a good time!

Well my friends, the day has finally come......STNO has won our first scrim against the REGz.  We won on Mach 4 and four out of the six stages of Goldrush then the REGz won 2 rounds of Gravel Pit.  Final score STNO 5 - REGz 4.  I don't know how many times they've beaten us before (more than 5) but it sure feels good to win one.  Anyway thanks to all who played.  The turnout was our best yet and everyone on both teams played really really well.  The plan is to do this every other Sunday, so let's all gear up for Sunday May 10th and see if we can go two in a row (or see if you REGz can reclaim your title).

  Well it seems everything is up and running again.  We were 100% trouble free for STNO Saturday and thnigs have been more or less stable (aside from Winter Phoenix turning 21, getting trashed and winding up in bed with the town floozy).  Again, we're sorry for all the fuss.  Thanks for understanding.  AND.....things are all set for TONIGHTS SCRIM

STNO vs REGz tonight at 7pm EST on the STNO Lounge

...so if you've signed up DON'T FORGET and if you haven't then make sure you join the forums and watch out for info on the next scrim.

PLEASE FORGIVE US!!!

  Well blame some of it on the "update" Valve put out, and blame some on our new server for being swine and blame some of it on Conduit and Pugsly  for there Tomfoolery and for sure blame 5088 and Mainstrain just 'cause it's fun when they get all crazy. but the end result (you may have noticed) is that we've been having a lot of crashes and overall issues on both our TF2 servers. 

WE SINCERLY APOLOGIZE TO YOU ALL

  This is a totally unacceptable thing to do to you and you have every right to hate us forever.  But please know we're doing everything we can to get things working as best we know how (involves the sacrifice of a live goat to Zeus and or Jebus).  Please bare with us while we construct the alter and recite the ancient chants. We assure you we love you all and everything will return to "normal" soon.

- Your friends at STNO
