Hello everyone at the PBbans community, My name is Christopher, and I’m a staff member of the New Team of Weapons and Tactics gaming organization over at www.ntwt.us. Over the years, we’ve hosted Battlefield 3 servers on and off for PC, and most recently, we’ve had one running consistently for quite some time. In the past, we streamed PBbans services, but with my busy schedule, I unfortunately let that slip through the cracks on our latest server. I’m now planning to set that up again so we can contribute to the service once more. With that said, I have a bit of an unusual request. I understand that PBbans is a community-driven service that relies on donations and community support to keep it running. While I’m unable to contribute financially (as I mostly live paycheck to paycheck—aside from covering my server costs each month to keep things running, haha), I do have some available space and resources that could potentially be useful. If it would help, I’d be open to offering resources to host a redundant copy of the PBbans database for backup or failover purposes. Of course, I don’t know the full scope of what that would entail. For example: How much data storage would be required? What type of system is used? (e.g., MySQL synchronization with other servers?) Would this even be something the PBbans team is interested in? If this is something the staff would consider and wouldn’t mind explaining in more detail, I’d love to see if I have the resources to provide meaningful support. While I do live check to check, I consistently set aside funds for my gaming servers, and I’ve been keeping our community running since 2008. So, I figured I’d put this offer out there in case it’s of any interest. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best regards, Christopher

Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a very merry Chnristmas, and has a Happy New Year

I have been having a issue with being kicked out of BF4 for like 3 years (Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Royal_SG-Peter' (for 2 minutes) ... Violation (MULTIHACK) #79754). My account didnt receive global ban and I didnt cheat. I tried to switch to another account but I'm still being kicked out. Every year I would re-install the game to see if it allows me to play. I tried to contact Even Balanc, but they never ever replied to my ticket. BF4 still remains to be my favourite of the series and it's really hurts me not able to play the game.

As 2024 comes to an end, we wish to extend our best wishes to our community members this holiday season. This year we switched hosting providers as our old host deemed our server hardware end of life and would shut them down in Sept 2024. We found a new host for 25% less and the hardware is considerably faster than our previous host. Sadly this year our co-founder RodeoBob lost his battle with cancer. While he stepped away from PBBans years ago to focus on his personal life and family, he always checked in from time to time. To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support throughout this past year. A big thank you to RedKilla, CU - DizzyKipper and }TG{TommyGun for going above and beyond to help keep our community online this year. We hope others will consider donating in 2025 if they are in a position to do so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans.

A bit late, but very sorry to hear this. He was helpful to us when we joined. I lost my Mum to cancer not long ago. It is an evil thing.

Very sad to hear.

A sad time but his legacy lives on. My condolences to his family and friends.

Today, RodeoBob one of the co-founders of PBBans lost his battle with cancer after 4 years. Robert served his country in the United States Air Force for 23 years as an information manager and continued serving as a Government Financial Analyst for 13 years. In his spare time he enjoyed playing video games and from that found a desire to do something about cheaters in video games that use Punk Buster. He co-foundered PBBans as part of that goal. Bob hasn't been involved as much in the last 5 years but I'm sure many of our long time members know of him and likely delt with him directly at some point.

Update Info: At August 2024 PBBans HUB has changed to: pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.231" "pbbhub4-1" "pbbanshub" pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.249" "pbbhub4-2" "pbbanshub"

Even better!!

As i know they release a new Banlist every Month.

Nice!! Do they continuously update this list or just release a PDF list every three months?

If you want you can kick players from your servers also by namelist. So for this case or in case you want to check what names are used by cheaters lets share some banlists from other games. Take a look onto KRAFTONs banlist for PUBG https://wstatic-prod-boc.krafton.com/common/content/news/20240729/AfFwZXY0/240731_WKBL(0722_0728).pdf

Some may have noticed we were offline for a few hours yesterday as the DB server OS was upgraded. It went off without any issues. However our main server was done today but had some upgrade issues and took a lot longer to get back online. Long story short the old OS version 7 is hitting end of life status next month and will not be receiving any more updates. Therefore our servers needed to be updated to a newer version which is now complete.
