  Alright, which mods do you want to use?

  Oh uh... crap. Thought we were going vanilla.
  
  I'd want to leave it to a vote, but for now I say keep it simple and just use the SRB2Hu map I linked to earlier in the thread.
  
  There's also like character mods, gamemodes and yadda yadda. And while I do have some suggestions, I'd like to hear what everyone else has to suggest. This is just a test run, right? So I think it's better to not go too crazy yet.
  
  (Though I'd like a reserved spot for at least the Tangle the Lemur character mod once we start getting more mods in.)

  I was thinking just vanilla and the Chaotix mod.

  Your server, mate.

  Alright, server should be up now. It's named "Sonic Blast".

  Welp, sorry I didn't stay too long. You know, being on the other side of the world has it's limitations when it comes to ping, but I'd love to go at it again.
  
  Bit torn on it being a public server though, but we can figure that out later.

  Yeah, I was thinking about the publicity thing.
  
  On the one hand, it being public would allow for more people to find the forum. I know some servers have announcements coded in saying stuff like "check out our Discord server!", so it's possible we could do something like that to promote the forum.
  
  On the other hand, patrolling what gets said or what content gets put up on a public Sonic Blast server might be difficult.
  
  So, the other possibility is, someone hosts a dedicated Srb2 server on their public IP, and that IP gets promoted on this forum. So anyone who wants to join uses the IP. The downside is that people won't see the IP unless they're on the forum, so it won't really promote it to people who aren't already there.
  
  Anyways, thanks for playing, it was a lot of fun.

  Yeah yeah, I was thinking about the whole publicity thing, and I'm all for making more people aware of this place, but I think this is just one case we should stray away from.
  
  Thinking about this from the perspective of someone just joining random servers out of boredom, and probably already keep getting pelted with Discord server invites everywhere they go when they just want to play the game. That's just annoying more than anything.
  
  Plus, it's more of a personal thing, but I don't like playing with randos online. There's just always that air of hostility I feel that I'm just not a fan of and usually avoid.
  
  So what I'm saying is, in my personal opinion I wouldn't want this to be a publicity thing, there's way better ways to do this other than a SRB2 server. I prefer it being a sort of special meetup and celebration of everyone ALREADY in the Sonic Blast forums, I'd really want to hang out with just a handful of you all who are already in the loop instead of an entire lobby of strangers who want nothing to do with each other. But I think I'm getting a bit too dramatic.
  
  Just throwing out what I think. I want the server being a private or public thing to still be discussed.

  We could probably do two. A private one for people already here and public for marketing purposes. I agree that playing with randos isn't that fun. I wish I could play more often but I will try to get on too.

  So I guess it is down right now? Didn't see it in the server list.
