I pm'd Jiggy_Ninja asking if he knew anything about it, and if he was capable of making a shoddy server. He replied that he could, but his internet too slow. I imagine that will be the problem with a lot of people. He then replied again saying I should make a thread here to see if anyone else could make it. Jiggy has said that he help anyone interested get it set up and administer it.

Several people have talked about this in several threads, but it never goes anywhere. Hopefully with a thread being made just for the discussion of it and administering of it, it can go somewhere.

The ShoddyBattle site can be found here:
http://shoddybattle.com/

The page telling about setting up a server can be found here:
http://shoddybattle.com/downloads_server

Why am I so interested in this:
Skynet's revival of the suspect testing here at Pojo finally made me take action on this. 1. We can't very well use Smogon's server to test our suspects, no telling what changes they'll make that may not follow ours. 2. We are our own community, why should we let Smogon and all the other sites that have a server, "have all the fun"(quoted from skynet's thread title). TBH hosting a server is free, so why can't we host a server? (I may be wrong, if it isn't free, don't worry about doing this, just provide PROOF that it costs).

Thank you for reading.

I like this idea, and I would host it, however I do have the same problem. My internet would get *****. :/

I would love too see this happen but like rob my internet speed is far too slow for the job also I don't have a public IP address.

The only way I can see this being set up is if someone has a spare PC and use it for the soul purpose to run our Server but who has a spare PC :/

I have an old 98 box, it's not too bad and CAN run shoddy on it, I have a Chordless ADSL business line 2, not 100% sure what it means but I might be able to help ?

To be fair, it's not like the shoddy server is going to be CROWDED like Smogons, there's only going to be 10 at most people on at a time, which i'm sure everyones computer can handle.

I'm sharing internet with 3 people, and my computer is a laptop, which runs the electricity bill sky-high, so I can't let the laptop run all the time.

Don't computers use only about 5 cents per hour? That's how much mine uses.

couldnt we hook it up to someones ISP's news server lol?
they run at crazy speed. I know how to hook up some applications on my computer to it. maybe someone/I should ask Shoddy if its a possibility. if so its epic win!
and i shotgun the royalities :D

newserver runs off the main servers for a ISP, i use it to download at ~2000KB/s with nzbs.

we need a super nerd
