Incredible. You are right GGhost, it was Aces High History. Proud to be apart of it as well!  :salute
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

As long as they register :lol

Truly a great milestone for FSO. I think the accolades go to Daddog and those that started this event so many years ago. But beyond them, also to those that really are passionate about this event and spend countless hours designing these events. The Admins come out with events that are simply marvelous. Now, AH community as a whole is noticing our little niche here and wanting in on the action. It is refreshing to see new squads, like the Aces and Eights (Welcome guys!), and even some of the popular names in the community are coming over. Heck the Muppets are here! Thats royalty, right? :) I even saw Stang in FSO. (/ego builder)

The successes of this event cannot be laid at the feet of the CM's alone. It goes to the faithful squads that have been here all along. Those who have come back week after week, frame after frame and event after event. We truly have a wonderful, close-knit community and I am so proud I get to be a part of it both as a CM and a player.

<S> To all of you!

Who knows, if attendance keeps going up at this rate, maybe a year from now HTC will be having to increase server capacity to the SEA because if I remember correctly the SEA has a limit of 500, and were getting close to that.

I think 400 player's is no longer something to look forward to rather to look past for all FSO's.  Last week we saw an even distribution of assets along with suitable difficulty's in the set up that made for one heck of a FSO. 

Let's dial the bar up to 500 :) and keep it going!

What is gonna happen when we do get to 500 players?  Can HTC just up the numbers the SEA can hold, because the limit is 500 now, or will they need to add an additional server?
