TF2 Upgraded to 100tick / 500 fps

Recently the TF2 server has been lagging... Maybe lagging is a bad word for it. The last few nights, there have been multiple complaints from all players about skipped frames, and generally slow server response.
Okay, maybe that is lag.
Regardless, a bunch of the core TF2 regulars got together in IRC and discussed upgrading to one of the new quad core/10gig ethernet 100tick/500fps servers.
We pulled the trigger on that today.
The TF2 server address at rad.icrontic.com has been updated. If you want the IP, it's 68.232.173.200.
In addition to myself and Lincoln, TiberiusLazarus will be a full server admin (meaning he can reboot, reconfigure, add/remove maps, etc.)
He's working on getting the remote map download feature working so that people don't bail because of the incredibly slow map downloads.
The cost has gone up: The new server is almost $100/month. Several people have offered to give a recurring monthly payment to defray the increased cost, so their generosity is appreciated; still, we need to keep on top of the server costs.
IF YOU PLAY ON THE IC SERVER, and you wear the {IC} clan tag, you have some benefits, like being able to request map changes, getting pubs kicked to make room for you, etc. This server costs a lot of money to run, so PLEASE, if you've never helped pay for the server before, this is a great time. As always, the generosity of the few benefits the many, and it's not always fair. ANYTHING helps - $5, $20, $37, whatever you can chip in.
It is as easy as clicking this link. Clanpay has made it very simple to chip in.
Thank you!

On a side note, are we still paying for the L4D server?
For the 20 of us that play regularly, even $5 a month would cover this. $10 a month would be awesome. Surely we can all spare that?
how long does it take to show up on clanpay?
Thank you!
