 4.th of April 2010 - Games HeadQuarters announced: We are using Teamspeak 3 instead of Ventrilo 2 now.
We had already some issues by members using Windows Vista x64, but where not able to find out the problem because not many members where using it. With upcoming Windows 7 this changed, and we needed to solve those problems. Some time ago we have made a tryout with Teamspeak 2, but there where more new problems then solutions using it. The codecs where worse and the server where busy only runing the voiceserver - no CPU time or bandwith left for other services. The newly programmed Teamspeak 3 promised to change all of that, so we decide to give it another try - and it passed.

3.rd of February 2010 - Games HeadQuarters announced: Server reinstallation successfully done.
The old operating system (openSuse 10.2) wasn't any longer supported by Novell and our ISP where neither making any security update for the services or the kernel itself for a while. It wasn't easy to get newer versions for it directly on the developers pages AND get them running on our server without killing a running service. To update an application on such an old system you need to download the sources of the application and compile it directly for your running system. We do not want to wait for the next hack to force the mandatory change...

Another year of gaming is gone. Lots of changes our members saw like every year. You ask lots of questions about the usage of our website and its tools, and i will try to answer some of them in this article...
We had some new members to welcome on Ventrilo, squads are no longer a topic on Games HeadQuarters website, but still for the members. But i could still copy the article from last year and will do with a part. Same question where frequently ask then each year: Why is only a small group of members using Ventrilo and the forums, when we have so many members? At the end of 2007 we had 400 registered users and after my yearlymail-check i had to remove around 100 because their email adresses where no longer valid, but we are more then back on that count. Welcome to 145 new members in 2008. The busy players know we only had one hand full joining us on Ventrilo (i am not counting our friends from other squads and groups, and they do not need any longer to create an account on the website to visit us on VT). Some people are using only the downloads, others are reading in the forums but never make a post. And this year a couple where coming to play our arcade games. Not each gamer is familar by using a voiceserver or installing the client (that need support from you). Right now we have 445 registered members and i am not able to answer it for all of them, but maybe you could get some answers by reading the serverstats, but you will see it is'nt realy easy...

Somewhere, 20.th of December 2008 - Games HeadQuarters proudly presents arcade game number 1000 is placed for our members.
In April 2007 we started testing a new addon for our forums, the Arcade module. It came without any game but there was a portal software based on phpNuke using it and we had the chance to have a look hows it working - and got the first 30 games for. Then - it was 19.th of May 2007, we could make it public. It was working well and we had already more the 50 games running as a test for our members. Would they like and use it?

Another year of gaming is gone. Lots of changes our members saw. Squads and clans are gone or got lots of changes and some new squads where build. Also we made some great features available. You ask lots of questions about the usage of our website and its tools, and i will try to answer some of them in this article...
We had some new members to welcome on Ventrilo, squads left Games HeadQuarters and some new joined. But i could still copy the article from last year and will do with a part. Same question where frequently ask then last year: Why is only a small group of members using Ventrilo and the forums, when we have so many members? At the end of 2006 we had 430 registered users and after my mail-check i had to remove around 150 because their email adresses where no longer valid, but we are nearly back on that count. Welcome to 143 new members in 2007.

| 14.th of December 2007 I am proud to announce the new portal software to our members. After the latest server problem i have planed to update the portal and its used modules. Until now it was a phpNuke eXtreM 7.5 on the start that is based on phpNuke 7.4 with a couple of variant modules from NukeScripts already included. For the reason that this was build in 2004 and the structure of phpNuke changed since then, the integration of new modules and also the update of already present modules isn't easy possible, but exercised.

7.th of November 2007 - Games HeadQuarters announced: Server reinstallation successfully done.
The old operating system (Suse 9.0) wasn't any longer supported by Novell and our ISP where neither making any security update for the services or the kernel itself for a while. It wasn't easy to get newer versions for it directly on the developers pages AND get them running on our server without killing a running service. To update an application on such an old system you need to download the sources of the application and compile it directly for your running system. The worm attack was a good timeslot to start such a big change just now...

The last two weeks we had alot issues with unknown processes on our webserver that fully used all available memory and CPU ressources so we need to restart the whole server each second day to take care all our mandatory services are still reachable. The reason where a couple of worm infections of our php system. In the past two days i had removed step by step all applications and scripts changed by the trojans and the server was cleaned then, but the webserver wasn't working any longer.
Sorry to say, but it would need much to many days and hours to rebuild the server and there is no chance to make it save completly cuz the operating system was more then 4 years old and no longer supported. For that reason my decision was a new installation with a complete new operating system...
