All movies list the year of production at the end of the credits in roman numerals. Got so much easier to read from 2000 on :P

That boggles me that people wouldn't be familiar with Roman Numerals enough to read the Ville server numbers... ouch.

Just think what it would look like if it were a binary, octal, or hexidecimal numbering system. :snooze:

Binary would be fun... Servers TV0001 through TV1010. Now on TV1001, DoD Source. TV0101, CS:S., TV0011 DoD 1.3. etc etc

Hex would actually be pretty easy, as only one would change ("The Ville X" would be "The Ville A"). Octal would look normal, but mess with people's minds - TV8 would be TV10, and TV10 would be TV12 :-P

I knew the ones up until about roman numeral X. Anything beyond that is just not worth knowing for me.
