Thank you all for the replies (Martin excluded, mate go troll Facebook) I've started a group 'Admins exVOLVO' http://steamcommunity.com/groups/exVOLVO (if anyone has a better name please suggest and will update info once I get my business paperwork done) those looking for a new path of community based servers or making the move from the already drowning games we used to play and run, feel free to request an invite from me D3vilfish http://steamcommunity.com/id/D3vilfish/ so we can get some ideas rolling, I've made it private to stop the Martins in the world joining. I'm hoping to get some ideas or were we go from here and happy to join forces to start a more global community that isn't dictated by Valve. We are already running a default ARK server but not 100% on its viability as a community based game coming from a fps community although there are a few buying the game. I'm not a man of big words and grand ideas of gaming, I've been running Simiancage for 14years and learnt UNIX to run the servers in their best environment however it's my hobby (have been known to take time off work though ;) I'm a builder/construction for 25years so don't sue me if you think this is a bad idea.
