Title: pbbans ?
Post by: Snokio on August 20, 2009, 08:39:22 PM
Does our cod4 servers use pbbans anti-cheat service? as it looks like they have gone :sad:
 
Taken from 141st:
 
No official statement has been released from pbbans yet, but on their IRC was this

"After several years of providing anti-cheat support & banlists for several popular Punkbuster supported games, PBBans has called it quits. This comes on the heels of a recent denial of service attack on their site. Details are sketchy at this time as no official announcement has been made however the topic for their IRC channel states " PBBans 2003-2009 Farewell All--It has been a great ride!" Also after being asked how much money would fix it a top admin simply said " it's not just money anymore it's lack of time and willingness"

The loss of PBBans Master Player Index coupled with the recent loss of Yawn will make player tracking in ET increasingly difficult. Whether your a fan of PunkBuster or not this is truly a sad day for anticheat as PBBans provided a top notch service & will be missed by those who made use of it.
"

I can no longer access their site either, and i was only on there around 2 days ago

It seems so.
I tryed connecting to PB sites and such but none is up.
I hope they get it sorted.
 
That's why I might have overreacted on the public forums a bit as it seemed serious what ZeroCool posted.
