Who LANs here?

Who runs LANs? Loves or hates LANs? Which LANs do you go to?

I LAN all the time. I play a major role in running a 40+ man LAN where I live. I attend a few others around (a house LAN, and a public one are the regulars, plus the private hall LAN I help run).

I'm heading down to Melbourne in January for Respawn LAN, which I'm really looking forward to.

I love my games. But I more love the social aspect of LANs. And the challeneges presented in running it, such as playing a game, organising a comp and selling food all at the same time (then I wonder why I'm so dead tired at the end of it...)

I be a lanner ... Once a month ...have been for a few years now .. the group I LAN with was at one stage a fair sized (46 ish people) called Nomanzlan based here in Melbourne but since they ran it as a hobby they never wanted to make money out of it and after a few issues with the last venue they had it's gone back to been a private group of Lanners in someone's garage Smile 1small group (10-12 people) but still heaps of fun ... we run a couple of netgear gigabit switches and just have a nice friendlty gaming session





...madness be my friend...

awwww Sad considering im like in the middle of no where compared to you people. the closest LAN of any sort is brisbane. proves hard with no license.

having your license does help quite a bit.

It means you can go "Oh, hey! There's a big huge LAN on two hours away next month. Let's go!"


Mordie: That's what LANing's about. A nice friendly gaming session. Doesn't matter how big it is, as long as it's friendly, and at least a little bit of gaming happens. ^_^

<3 decent gigabit stuff. One of my mates picked up a 48 port managed DLink gig switch. It proved very nice as a main switch for our last LAN. And yay for port aggregation! =D

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Ask questions. There's no such thing as a stupid one, just stupid answers. (mostly)
