Minecraft server move
We are moving the minecraft server to a separate machine so it does not affect the performance of our other servers as reducing the number of player slots. More info here: http://impulse-gamers.com/forums/Thread-Server-Moving?pid=9731#pid9731
Portal 2 Giveaway!
We’re giving away a free copy of Portal 2!
You can enter here: http://impulse-gamers.com/forums/Thread-Portal-2-Giveaway
Winner will be chosen on June 15th. Good luck!
Win a free mouse! Support .iG!
I have a favor to ask of all of you. The company who does the advertisements on our servers (which are what fund the community) asked me to try to get you all to take a survey. It’s a short survey and they’re simple questions. It shouldn’t take more than a minute or two.
The company is giving away 10 free Steelseries Kana mice, and the more people who take the survey, the better the chance we have to get those mice. If we win them, I will randomly select 10 members to give them away to.
Do it for the community!
IMPORTANT!!! At the end of the survey it will ask you what community sent you. Make sure you say: Impulse Gamers (formerly CosbySweater) — be sure to include the cosbysweater part, since that’s what our community name is according to their system (it cannot be changed).
Here’s the link to the survey:

CS:S Minigames Server
UPDATE: Server is no longer online due to inactivity.
We now have a CS: Source Minigames server! Like the TF2 server, we will be doing a trial run for a week or two to see if the server is worth keeping.
I have already installed a number of maps on the server (thanks MyPoopGreen for the recommendations) so it should be ready to go. Just a note: most of the maps are fairly large in size, so please be patient while downloading them.
There’s a dedicated forum section for the server so feel free to post there if you have any suggestions, etc.
Hostname: mg.impulse-gamers.com(click to connect)
Team Fortress 2 Server
We have added a TF2 server. This is temporary, as we will be testing out different gamemodes and maps. If the server is a success, it will stay online permanently.
The server can be accessed at: tf.impulse-gamers.com (or 74.91.122.31). Click here to connect.
Upgrades
Our linux box is being upgraded to allow for better performance and room for (possibly) more servers. I would like to apologize ahead of time for any downtime that may result from this. I will be sure to update this post once the upgrade is complete.
Update:
Everything is back online.
February Giveaway
We are doing yet another giveaway!
We have 5 copies of Killing Floor up for grabs. 5 copies, 5 winners.
Winners will be chosen on March 1st.
Mumble -> TeamSpeak 3
Since Mumble is such a pain in the ass I decided to change the voice server over to TeamSpeak. It’s much easier to use and most of you probably have it already.
You can connect @ ts.impulse-gamers.com:5630
Mumble Server
I have set up a Mumble server for everyone to use. Mumble is a voice communication program similar to TeamSpeak and Ventrilo.
You can connect to the server by using the following info:
Address: voice.impulse-gamers.com
Port: 17140
Password: (none)
