Kiwi Station 13 development board

I was wondering this too. Can the devs of SS13 shut down independent servers? I don't understand why Null hasn't built his own yet.

Lifeweb, Paradise, Citadel, and probably several other servers exist that could be considered degenerate and you have to ask this question? No, they can't/don't. BYOND can probably order a server to be shut down, but I've rarely ever heard of this happening. Most servers are independently managed by their own teams.

But take it from someone who was there for when the "official" 8chan SS13 server was planned, discussed, implemented, and then promptly fell apart in less than half a year: If you aren't ready to heavily curtail the power-tripping autism from people champing at the bit to be on the admin and coder team, as well as massive greytiding, powergaming, and autistic social engineering to justify the server being a shithole instead of fixing said problems, then your server isn't going to survive for more than a few months.

It reminds me of the tragedy of TF2 /v/intage.

I'm not aware of that one, but I do recall being part of another "official" /v/ Steam group back in 2009-2010 that primarily played TF2 together. That one took about a year or two to die because spergs and crazy ass weebs/future trannies from /a/ shitted up the whole group with drama and general faggotry. Feels like ancient internet history at this point.

But that's going horribly off-topic here. My original point was that any new SS13 servers needs both strict and slightly flexible management if it wants to survive and keep its playerbase happy, and it also needs to have its own shtick to bring to the table as well that would set it apart from other servers. Because what's gonna keep even kiwis playing on it if it just ends up being yet another fork of /tg/? Sense of community can only take you so far.

I had been thinking about getting back into the game. I used to play it a ton, but haven't touched it in years.

I'm not sure a KF server could attract a large enough playerbase to have fun rounds without trying to lure in outsiders.
