Very cool - my friends and I are fairweather online gamers, we really prefer to play with each other via co-op or maybe once in a while we run TF2 or L4D2 on a whim. An on-demand service would be great.

Feature request (not sure if it's there): would love to be able to start a server, and send out email invites to friends with clickable join links that would connect them to the server.

Related: if you need help with designing, sending, and managing emails (especially for that last feature), I'd be happy to help. I'm the Product Manager for PostageApp (http://www.postageapp.com) and we're all about email. Let me know if I can help!

It sounds like you and your friends are the type of people I am building this for.

Email invites are on the to-do list, although I am not sure whether or not I will enable that for the beta yet. I haven't thought about the implementation yet, but I will keep you guys in mind.

Thanks for the feedback!

Then please let me into the beta! Haha, no problemo though, I always dream about booting up my server and hosting for a limited time, but it's always such a pain in the butt to manage it all.

If you can do it at a reasonable rate, would be a very happy customer!
