Hah. You think that's hard? Try building a non-ranked server. Complete 
waste of time. That's why this list is dead. All the non-ranked server 
people - the ones who do it for fun, rather than profit - have pretty 
much given up at this point.

We've switched to running the PRMM mod on our server (Google for it). 
We're having limited success. Other unranked servers might want to try 
it.. maybe we can grow the global player base. Maybe not.. Either way, 
we're basically done with BF2 until something else comes along. The 
whole thing has been a huge disappointment for our group, but it's a 
lesson learned - we won't be buying any game in future which has a 
ranking system like this that excludes independent server operators.

Cheers,

James
