Our provider (FPS Clanservers) is stopping service on 7th Feb. As it stands at the moment, this means that the BiO server will cease to exist as of this date.
I wanted to keep the server up after I stopped playing because it had developed into a public with a good bunch of regulars and it felt like keeping it up for those in the community which liked to play there was the right thing to do. This was only made possible by Kevlar and Slash taking on the admin/ref duties (and previously Jintah although 'kicker' might be a better description than ref...) - if it hadn't been for these guys I'd have shut it down long ago. This is an important point to be aware of since it's a completely thankless task that they have.
Anyway, my involvement now is minimal and the select few idiots who think it's funny to hijack the server because they're so fucking clever is a pain in the ass. This means that my involvement in the server is likely to finish next month. There's a possibility of it changing to a new location but Kevlar is looking into that at the moment and we'll see what happens.
If it relocates you'll be informed. If it doesn't, I hope it gave some of you a few good games over the years. :)

Don't give in on those little hijack kiddies, it was bound to happen since it's so successful, instead keep going with the server, always love to play there.
the server kinda went a bit off for me afterr jintah died, but it would have been a shame to see it close sooner than it did, as he loved playing there, so thanks for the chance to keep his memory going.
im looking into trying to get a sponsor for bio on a new ip and failing that, i might just have to rent one to keep it going, time will tell, and if sphere lets us keep using the bio name that is hehe.
if christa still played, they'd have been falling over themselves to give us a server heeh. : http://www.xfire.be/?x=user&mode=view&id=343
anyone interested in hosting *bio* in the future, drop me a pm here or in #clan-bio
ty :)
edit: thanks anyway
i enjoy it when i play there. hope you find a sponsor kevlar
i've had 150+ ping there since summer
Edit: omg wtf fixed O_O
Hopefully u find a way to move it to another location
Get some trusty worthy people to set up a paypal, and get public donations going to pay the 10-15 quid a month rent. Job done.
no more public for me?!?!?!
u dotn got money? if its like that maybe someone else wants to run your server ?
basically the company that sponsor the server ( FPS ) are going out of business. Therefore they will no longer host the server even if it was paid for - because they wont exist anymore.
secondly, Kevlar is doing all he can to find another host for "et's favourite public server"
thirdly , if there are no takers to sponsor the server, Mr. Kevlar will personally fund the server.
Its not all doom and gloom ! ............yet anyway
i hope you decide to keep the server going because even with it being so hard to get (awaiting challenge... 1400+) it's still one of the beste servers around
Keeping it alive.
