Is it possible to make the server to only let in people with certain IPs and nicks

IP locked server access is a flawed implementation to any game server. that some people either share the same IP (via their interner-surplier) or they run an IP switcher. No company is interested in having their fanbase locked out. A simple registration with a nickname and a verification via the persons email is more than anuf.

I am all for people hosting private servers but that statement was inane.  Public servers are a necessity to attract a player base.

Agreed, if something this mod really needs to do is breathe some life back into the MW and BT universe and let the fan base grow once again.

I think a well run League that posts a good narrative and videos of battles would go a long way towards building that user base quickly.  Hell, I would get a big kick out of just reading it as I do not have the time to devote to such an organization.
