Well after looking at the thread about server hosting problems, I've decided to post. If this idea has already been proposed, then I apologize, as you can see this is my first post.
Ever thought about using the netcode already in place to create a dedicated server executable? I'm sure there are people out there that wouldn't mind leaving up a server, considering the low bandwidth costs for a 1v1 or 2v2 game. The code is already there, so it wouldn't be a huge project, and the benefits would be great.
I can almost promise 100% that I would be able to provide at least one dedicated server (providing it is compilable and executable under FreeBSD).
