Me and my small Platoon are interested in renting our own sever but are short in funding.
Multiplay is having a 50% sale during Christmas if you buy 3 months or more of service. I know this might be a long shot, but if anyone is interesting in buying in, joining our platoon or any of that stuff. Let me know and I can get you in.
We have about 10 active players every day, play at night EST time zone. We have our own TeamSpeak3 server, so if you have a mic, that be awesome.
We're not too serious but we are not too wack. Always about teamwork and getting things done. We SOFLAM, MAV, etc. Pretty much we do EVERYTHING when we play together.
We don't care about KDR, W/L, blah blah blah. We are just in it to have fun!

Not sure if this is what you are interested in doing, and this may not even happen, so perhaps I shouldn't even post it. In about two weeks I'll know for certain.
Friends and I started a BF3 server. It's a 64 player conquest server, currently runs B2K maps 24/7, 500 tickets. We've been ranked as high as 8th worldwide for BF3 servers on Gametracker, then had RSP issues (multiplay) that are now resolved and the server is climbing up again, think we are 40th currently. The server is full 24/7 with 64 players and people in queue, we have a solid stable of regulars.
Anyways, I am thinking of not wanting to admin it anymore as it's a pain and starting to feel like an obligation to police the hackers. Not that I like hackers, but I get emails constantly from the notify admin plugin. Multiplay allows the transferring of ownership of a server, so I might be letting it go if I can find someone who'd like to keep it going. Nothing certain, but just seeing if you (or anyone else) would be interested.
I got in when there was a deal going, so it costs about $65 a month and includes a 60 or 65(don't remember which) slot Mumble server. I run the procon layer from my home because some plugins don't work with layer hosting. Namely, I use a plugin that tracks player's stats and lets them check their stats, rank, top 10 etc on the server, the players really like this one. Server also streams to pbbans and ggc-stream etc.
If I do let it go, I'd provide the person who took it with my procon folder so they could maintain the current setup or adjust it, as well as the MySQL database containing all the player's stats the stat plugin feeds in/out of.
The server has a pretty adult or childish environment depending on how you see it. The only things we kick/ban for are racist slurs, griefing your own team and hacking. So cursing, trash-talking etc. is pretty commonplace, if someone were to take the server, I'd like it to be someone who would continue to leave the server admined in a fairly light-handed manner.
Just putting this out there, and to see if you or anyone else might want it, might help me along to letting it go

Feel invested in it as it was a chore to get a server populated and keep it that way, now it just stays full which is nice. I don't want to just shut it down as I've started to notice at any given time I recognize what seems like at least half the names on the server.
