    Edit Update: @killa sodas - cherry coke has gracefully offered to take over the server/stats payments. I'd like to thank him for keeping the servers alive for the foreseeable future.

    It's been a great run everyone, when @Gotcha I first started this I had no idea it was last this long. It's a bit of a bittersweet moment as I built most of these servers from the ground up back in high school and it's hard to shut them down. I know the servers haven't been popular for the last couple years, but I kept them running as we always had a somewhat populated Gun Game server. However, that server has finally died out, as CS:S is a dying game. Sadly most games nowadays have moved away from private servers, which has basically killed all gaming communities.

    With that being said if anyone would like to continue running the servers I will transfer them over, you will need to cover the monthly costs, which are covered below:
    NFO VDS: $48.74 per month
    Bans website hosting: $2.99 per month
    GameMe Stats: $6.00 per month
    Total cost: $57.77

    I will keep the website running till the hosting runs out on November 29th 2022.

    Thanks for the 12 awesome years of gaming!

    It has been a blast, and lots of great memories created with this community family that was created! How I miss the first few years when Vgamers was founded!

    Just became aware of this post, while the VG servers I played on (the TF2 ones, mainly Lazytown) died long ago, still sad to see this site come towards its end. Thanks for leaving the site running till the hosting ends, going to archive some posts from the past for nostalgia's sake.

    Also I am happy to say that the some of the friends I made on VG servers have been my longest lasting online friends, even after we moved on. :)

    It has been a wonderful ride and i'm glad to see someone is keeping our baby alive. So many memories were made there and the friendship made was memorable. My best to you all.
