==Standard Ranks==
There are 12 standard ranks on compsci.ca:
<table>
<tr><td>Rank</td><td style="text-align: right">Posts Required</td></tr>
<tr><td>Newbe</td><td style="text-align: right">0</td></tr>
<tr><td>Novice</td><td style="text-align: right">6</td></tr>
<tr><td>NewBe Programmer</td><td style="text-align: right">15</td></tr>
<tr><td>Programmer</td><td style="text-align: right">35</td></tr>
<tr><td>NewBe Hacker</td><td style="text-align: right">128</td></tr>

<tr><td>L33T Programmer</td><td style="text-align: right">1536</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tony's Clone</td><td style="text-align: right">2048</td></tr>
<tr><td>CompSci God</td><td style="text-align: right">3072</td></tr>
</table>

==Special Ranks==
In addition to the standard ranks there are also quite a few custom ranks. Usually these are reserved for moderators and admins (or long time members who have contributed lots... or begged...). Here is a list of the special ranks: 
[[LAMER]] - [[Martin]] 
[[pwn3d Admin]] - [[Hacker Dan]] 
[[oni]] - [[Tony]] 
[[whatdotcolor]] Warrior - Andy 
[[Emo Neko]] - Nick 
classhole - [[md]] 
[[Unknown Entity]] - Purple Hippo 
JERKFACE - [[Mazer]] 
Just Freaky - [[Clayton]] 
[[IRC]] Mod - [[rdrake]] 
Megatokyo fanboy - [[Boo-chan]] 
[[Pirate]]Mod - [[Cerventes]] 
teh bunny - [[brenn]] 
chopstick girl - [[Aoi]] 
[[compsci princess]] - [[papatya]] 

Some unfortunate members acquire titles though stupidity or spectacularly poor judgement, usually these are [[noob]]s. They get a rank of "just newbcake".

=About=
==What it does==
The [[CompSci.ca]] server is the computer that hosts the all of the websites and services in our network. It includes the main forums, the [[blog]], [[wiki]], bug tracker, mail system, hosting for users, and almost anything related to CompSci.ca. It also hosts related projects like [[dwite]].ca and user projects as well as [[CVS]] repositories and a [[jabber]] server. We also plan to add things like an [[IRC_channel | IRC]] server to it resources pending.

==Where it is==

The CompSci.ca server is a [[dedicated server]] in a data center run by [http://corenetworks.net corenetworks.net]. It is located in [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=East+Lansing,+Michigan&ie=UTF8&ll=45.660127,-82.001953&spn=10.764433,29.355469&z=6&om=1 East Lansing, Michigan] and meets Tier-1 providers on redundant fiber optic lines, though it is behind a 10Mbps switch (this maybe upgraded to 100Mbps if we get the money). Our ip space which is rented from [[corenetworks]] is 64.85.160.30 - 64.85.160.31.

This is the closest location we could get to where the majority of our users are for a fair price. Unfortunately Canadian data rates are higher then in the US and sadly this also means we fall partly fall under the [[DMCA]].

==IP Info==

* 64.85.160.30 - All things other then the core CompSci.ca domain and service. Like [[dwite]]
* 64.85.160.31 - The core CompSci.ca parts, the main site, sub domains and sub dirs.

==Server Stats==
* [[Intel]] 2.8[[GHz]] [[Processor]]
* 1GB [[RAM]]
* 120GB Hard Drive
* 1,000 GB Transfer
* Remote Power access
* [[IP KVM]]
* [[Gentoo]] OS
* 10Mbps connection
* 2 static unique [[IP]]s

==Current Status==
The server has been installed in the rack in the corenetworks data center and we are now working on setting it up for use by CompSci.ca.

=To Do=
==Main To Do==
The following list of things have to be done before the server can go live:

* Set up CVS right
* Set up jabber server
* Set up usermin
* Tell every one how the new server works (made a post but need more info, maybe a wiki page)
* Others

==Want To Do==
The following are things I want on the server but are not 100% needed for the server to go live:

* Add spam filtering of some kind
* Add virus scanning on mail and uploaded files
* Find a way to get MON messages to go to my cell phone
* Get Security Sentries working
* Set up BIND and get it working as our DNS server
* Add Majordomo List Manager
* Set up https for compsci.ca as an option for all users (https works for the compsci.ca domain but phpbb is not realy setup for it)
* Set up a webproxy for use by things like dwite juge
* Add better/good logging software and log analyzing software
* Get Bandwidth Monitoring working
* Make my own security scanning software
* Others

==How to help out==
I may need some help with this server config stuff from time to time. Some of the things I need help with right now are:

* Setting up a spam filter for postfix that does not kill the whole mail system.
* Setting up BIND and how to get your own DNS server working

Contact me on msn or irc for more info. We can only give trusted users access to the server though.

=Special Thanks and Credits=
The following users were of a lot of help while setting up the server and need more than just a thanks on this page (list is in no order):

* [[rizzix]] : For helping to set up postfix and the mail system.
* [[Cornflake|md]] : For saving the server when i broke it. Also for recompiling the kernel.

Thanks goes out to the other users for moral support and some small tips along the way:

* [[Timmytheturtle|Timmy]]
* [[Rdrake]]
* [[Tony]] - For hugs????
* [[TheFerret|Furo]] - For fixing spelling on this page.

=Ideas and Suggestions=
If you have an idea for something to put on the server or use it for leave it down here with your name.

* Use vsftpd instead of proftpd. I heard it is faster and more secure.
-- rizzix

* Jail/Chroot each daemon, individually. Thus if one is compromised, the entire system may not
be compromised.
-- rizzix

* Set up a SVN server. [[OpenT]] source control + other projects.
