All of LouMan's maps are all hosted on 2 physical servers, with each map being hosted on a different port. And the reason why he has so many maps hosted is that they all get played very regularly. If no one played on them we would probably put something else up, but why stop a good thing when you've got it.

Uh, I really wish that norang wouldn't spam the listserver with so many... a rotation would serve nicely.

OR
They could make it so all the servers that are not being used are in alphabetical order.

That's exactly what they already do, and it's a pretty lame method, if you ask me.

Actually, these are called servers...you enter the server and the server is like a room to play in. All rooms use a map...

At the moment there are 166 maps on BZFlag.
noooooooo i counted them, they are over 179!
There are servers which you join and maps which you play on. If a server didn't have a map you wouldn't be able to play, even though the room was there...
Anyway...
There are thousands of maps. How do I know this? I've got over a thousand on my computer...
LouMan's maps are all hosted cause they are all good... they're great to look at and great to play.

The norang servers are a blessing, not only to me, but to many other map makers out there that have maps hosted on his servers. Thumper has graciously spent a great deal of time setting up these servers and we should all be grateful that he does so. He has a fairly sophisticated system set up with servers that optimizes the bandwidth he offers. He also hosts several excellent, I mean excellent, web sites dedicated to these servers and their upkeep. The louman.bzflag.bz servers are also run by him, with the bandwidth being generously given by someone else.
It is beyond me how anyone could complain about the quantity of servers being listed in the listserver - isn't the plethora of choices a good thing for the game as a whole?
