Maximus, now retired clan leader, contacted Ixian of Maximumgamer who offered [S/H] a home in the summer of 2001.  We were a guest clan on Ixian servers with admin rights.  The first 5 admins were S/H members.  Two still retain their admin rights on the Maximumgamer servers.  [S/H] purchased our own server in the late winter of 2001 and placed our server in a co-location facility provide by Ixian with the Maximumgamer servers.

Ixian and ]SH[ parted ways when Ixian terminated his contract with the co-location facility in Denver.  ]SH[ pooled our resources again and upgrade the server to dual MP2000/1 GB DDR PC2100 ECC RAM.  We currently have placed our server in a co-location facility in Kansas City.

CLAN DESIGNATION: Strength and Honor original designation was [S/H].  When we moved to Global Operations, that software would not allow the slash "/".  The designation was changed to ]SH[, and has remain through Americas Army and Battlefield 1942.
