I have been looking through the servers, but I can't find it! It's like it fell off the face of the Earth.
I'm pretty sure some counter strike server still run it, but its on a rotation of other mini game maps, so just watch out for mini game servers
Ok, thanks.
I was going to put it on my server, but it's only a 6 man server so there wouldn't be much point.
Just because of your avatar being my favorite web-show host, I'm obligated to reply. Sadly, though I am obligated, I have no clue what happened. It was fun, but nowadays the majority of players are derping around on DarkRP, Fallout RP, or TTT.
Sometimes i still play it on my private server with some friends really really fun! A bit laggy tough if you get around 20 players. Also really fun set the timescale for the server really high. Suddenly you have speedboats that act like bumper cars. Might consider reviving this once.

We did have a Facepunch server show up a few times (I was an admin on it). It was very, very popular, but it still managed to bring a i7 based server to its' knees thanks to it being largely unoptimized. that is the only reason it disappears, it is so hard to run it without serverside lag or the script playing up at times.
I think we should try to revive this old favorite! It was getting quite fun the last time I played it. All we would need is a permanent server owner that is willing to host it...

I could talk to Profanwolf and see if he is willing to try hosting it again. Last time it died was mostly my fault as I spent too long fixing minor bugs in the script.
If there is large enough demand I can speak with the community I am in and I should be able to get a 20-ish slot server up. The only issue was had before was the unreliability of the gamemode - Lag was a major issue and I know a few actions that can be done in the game which leads to a server-crash. If anyone remembers we (ECGamers) has a PSW server up for a few months, then came a GMod update and it kinda faded away. Edit: If anyone is willing/able to work on the game-mode slightly to try to improve the reliability/stability of it then it would help everyone a heap of good.
LiquidGame used to host an enhanced version of PSW back in the days (2009 - early 2010).
Loads of textures were fucked up for me, was a fun game though. Theres a similar minigame on CSS servers but the ships are static and side by side.
Ahahha who here remembers on Profan's sever when we rammed a ship up the waterfall?
Man I think that is all we did. Some of the bugs we got were amazing though.
