Seems this topic is more up to date: http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?39655.100
Seems two guys took it down by using another campaign and/or theatre.

Kevin pending.

I have been replying to the thread at veterans-gaming.com more frequently as it has more input lately. We’ve come a long way with improving and configuring the VG BMS Server, and I feel it’s in a good place now. The “Kevin Pending” messages were due to an unnoticed crash on the server (it appears just fine but on closer inspection, no buttons work in the 3D cockpit). It has since been restarted, and multiple daily health checks will now be mindful of such a crash, and will check for it each time. That one had us chasing our tail for a day, a true face palm!
Thank you to all our supporters and to all those who’ve been reporting and helping us to correct issues and configure this server. Your help is greatly appreciated! The server now has auto-save set up on a 2 hour interval, and server crashes will restart from the latest auto-save file. We will likely restart the server by day 6 of the campaign regardless, and if the server crashes, feel free to post up here, the Falcon BMS 4 facebook page, or on our website here: http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?39655.125#post_40087
A reminder to all pilots: Please do not run a campaign on this server; TE (tactical engagements) and Dogfights are okay, but the server cannot handle the AI of 2 campaigns at once. Please fly out of Seosan in the 120th Squadron. Be sure you are not launching the game from the 909th at Kadena! This is for the server aircraft only! Details for joining our server with IVC enabled can be found here: http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?39754.last
Thank you!

32 bit/ 64 bit mismatch. ???
This server is running 32-bit???

The link above indicates that they run 32 bit.

Thank you to everyone who flies with us, and special thanks to those who help keep the server running smooth by reporting issues and crashes!
We continue to have problems with pilots running a 2nd Campaign on our server - this is not something our server can handle. You may fly in Tactical Engagements (TE) or Dogfights on our server, but do not run another Campaign along side the one we are hosting. I have done most everything I can to reach out to pilots who violate this rule, but often I find a Password on the 2nd Campaign adding insult to injury.
Please respect our server - if your name is on this list, please understand that we need you to stop. You may join our Online Campaign - Do Not start a Campaign on our server!
If anyone knows these guys, or can get a message to them - have them read this thread:

I know the first four guys, I introduced them to the VG server and feel a little responsible for this. They are new-ish to BMS and I don’t believe that it was malicious, but rest assured that this message is being passed on.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that we were starting a new campaign on the server. I’m not even sure how that can be done, to be honest.

Running 32 bit or (I hope) 64 bit?
-

That’s done by running starting or loading a campaign instead of joining the VG campaign under online. When you click it you’ll get the map up to select your airbase, then you can hit “committ online”.
Mower, it’s in 32 bit to be open for more players.

Just to be honest, you should have posted a note about the whole campaign thing. We didnt know that you couldnt do that, we are new and do not deserve the backlash and pitchforks for something that we didnt know we werent suppossed to do… Wont happen again and hope yall have a great day.
That is All!

The No campaign thing has been mentioned more than once as far as I know.
-
Sometimes a password is a good thing.
Gets complicated to distribute but……

From the first post
PLEASE DO NOT change any server settings!
PLEASE DO NOT run any other Campaigns while connected to our server! -
Hey guys. This is my fault for introducing them to a community server, without having them register and read through forums first. I wanted to put them somewhere that I knew was stable that we could run a few training TEs on and introduce IVC. I apologize for taking that shortcut.
As I stated previously, it was not done maliciously, it was their inexperience. I am trying to facilitate a transition to BMS from other sims like FSX and DCS. This community of all people must know that it can be like drinking from a fire hydrant at the start.
We recognize and have addressed the consequences of these actions. Please don’t castigated these people and turn them off to an incredible simming community/experience.

Nobody is being attacked or blamed. It was always going to be a case of not knowing. It’s all explained on the server web site but nobody has to go there to access server and even if you do visit its not difficult perhaps to learn the ip without reading everything.
That’s just the way it is. Surely even the FO method of restricting ip would soon be bypassed by sharing the happy news of a rare public serverPutting newcomers off by much obstacles would be unfortunate. Individual access passwords recoded passwords would be good but doubt the software allows for that.

sorry for being a newbie and thank you in advanceThat error means the server is set to deny all connections of people that have altered the aircraft data. Most likely you changed some settings in the avionics configurator, which results in an altered acdata file of one or more aircraft.
It’s a setting the host can force to avoid people manually cheating with acdata (setting unrealistic values to have a super advantage), but also side effects simple changes with the avionics configurator trigger the same.
