French people often live in France.

Why France? Rioting students will break the server.

I remember you W1zzard. Banned you for being a goof long ago. Now an admin so you can't be banned, but it still seems you are a goof...

How about a mirror in Asia? http://www.nettigritty.com/

Oh crap. That's an Indian company with servers in TX, USA. :o

Hi , i live in the north east of france, approximately 100km from the belgian / luxembourg / german border.

I'd be happy to take your request and dig it.

i already know a powerfull hosting solution based on my city, it's called OVH > http://www.ovh.com/fr/particulier/index.xml <

they have some pretty much affordable accounts that fits most needs, take a look at the following specs http://www.ovh.com/fr/particulier/produits/offres_dedies.xml

ovh is indeed who i am looking at. do you have an instant messenger?

btarunr: a mirror in the apac region would be cool, but i dont know if there is someone who can offer a ton of bandwidth cheap :)

We need some servers in Nigeria, and some bank accounts too.

37 Indian Rupees make 1 US Dollar.

220 Rupees /month for 40 GB space, 300 GB transfers. Look at the "Business Hosting" thingy. I'm curious about their Virtual server service.

I think you should do it Dan. Since the spambots are hosted on the same server, you should be able to reap a share of the profit from all those scams.

Careful, they might steal your megahurtz.

Out of body experiance? Or could you cut off one of Solaris's fingers and mail it to them as a authourised agent to push the button if you will.

How about one in the UK? It's not far away from france, and servers tend to be slightly cheaper here....

If one says alt+f4 to another it means get the fuck out. alt+f4 is pressed to instantly exit a program and so it came to be that if one says alt+f4 to someone else, it means they should leave.I dont think we will be seeing ropemaster for a while...

If you want to do a "le powerup" version in french, couldnt you just host it in gerbenelux? What's the specific requirement for french domiciled server? After all, this is the internets.

There's no der powerup, don't expect a lé powerup.

the french server is from a specific provider (ovh) who only sells to french people. its only for downloads mirroring, not for tpu web nor will there be a french version of tpu

The forum used to be divided into an English section and a German section, but W1zzard consolidated the two and bequeathed it that everyone should speak English. So technically, there was a DerPowerUp!... sort of :) .

That GamePowerUp! vBulletin license can be used to resurrect that DerPowerup!. I'm sure some are more comfortable with German, so TechPowerUp! German it is.....

Since most of our German users write better English than the Brits and Americans it is better to keep it consolidated :) . If anything we need to translated the American and British e-dialects into English for the rest of the world :) :).

Yeah, the English that some American/Britt members use is quite scary. I never expected westerners to use bad English before I joined TPU. For me Maths was way easier than English at school. Worked hard.

I will be the first to admit that I don't have the best of ether world. It was a part of my schooling that I slacked off in, and wish I didn't do it now. Got bored because of the fact they wouldn't allow me to graduate after grade 10... Still got done with a 3.78!
