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.

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.

As 2023 comes to an end, we wish to extend our best wishes to our community members this holiday season. This year marked our 20th anniversary of fighting cheaters. Hard to believe it's been 20 years and so much as changed from anti-cheat software to the games themselves. To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive 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 2024 if they are in a position to do so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans.

As 2022 comes to an end, we wish to extend our best wishes to our community members this holiday season. There is not much to post about this year again unfortunately but we will continue to be here in 2023. To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive throughout this past year. A big thank you to 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 2023 if they are in a position to do so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans.

Account is active again. Just re-add the servers and they should be good to go when approved.

March 6, 2022 - Replaced external ban links for sites that are no longer online with a local webpage with the data of the ban when it was imported.

Since GGC is gone I've removed the ban from the ebl.

That's why our site has the message "PBBans caches global ban data therefore this check may not reflect the correct global ban status.". When normal users search a guid it does not check the pb ban servers to see if it's globally banned. It doesn't matter what our site states, if a player is globally banned by punk buster they will be kicked from any pb enabled server for that game. It has nothing to do with the global ban information listed or not listed on our website.

That guid is still globally banned by Even Balance (The developers of Punk Buster). We check if a global ban exists when our members look up guids and when servers show a global ban message in the server logs but we have no power over the bans themselves. If our site doesn't show a global ban doesn't mean it is not banned. It just means it's not in our cache of globally banned guids.

Forum upgrade that I did last week

It’s the end of another year and hopefully 2021 has been better than 2020 for our community members. There is not much to post about this year again unfortunately as more games have moved onto other anti-cheat solutions. To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive. It’s getting increasingly harder with the continued decline of game servers that use Punk Buster and with new games being released. A big thank you to CU – DizzyKipper again this year for going above and beyond every month to keep our community online. We hope others will consider donating in the new year if they are in a position to do so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans.

He's clean which is why it doesn't show anything as a regular forum user He was banned for Violation (GAMEHACK) #81570 but they were a false positive

What is the tag you are trying to use?

a4f1755d is the last 8 characters of his guid. We don't post full guids of players not banned at PBBans. He can find his own guid if need be using client logs https://www.pbbans.com/info-center-clientlog.html

The first error would mean you are selecting both of the following options but you only need to select one 1. "I have a team roster, and it is viewable to guests" 2. "I am applying for a community/organization and not a clan" The second means there is already an account with the name you are trying to use.

He's clean here but is globally banned by evenbalance a4f1755d

Streaming to PBBans alone shouldn't cause an issue because all a game server does is send logs to us. If a file named pbns.dat file exists in the PB directory you can try deleting it and restarting pb.

No point in adding another ucon profile since a server owner has to update the server config anyway. I'm not sure if the ggc data even exists anymore. If I had it their ban lists then I could add them to the ebl for those who want to use it.

It would not be possible without each of the server owners adding the pbbans ucon profile and adding the server on our site.

Here we are at the end of another year. 2020 has not been good for many largely due to the pandemic. Death tolls, shutdowns, job losses, gathering restrictions and more has hit many hard this year. Sadly HSMagnet passed away this fall. He devoted countless hours helping our community and served as a valued staff member for over 4 years. To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive.A big thank you to CU – DizzyKipper again this year for going above and beyond every month to keep our community online. Sadly many people have either lost their jobs or have suffered a decrease in income due to the pandemic. We hope others will consider donating in the new year if they are in a position to do so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans and we hope 2021 will be a much better year for everyone.

2020 has been a difficult year for many and sadly it has hit someone in our community. HSMagnet who joined the PBBans community in 2008 suddenly passed away on Sunday. He devoted countless hours helping keep our community running and served as a valued staff member for over 4 years. He will be dearly missed. We would like to express our deepest condolences to his family during this time. His family has setup a gofundme page for anyone that wishes to help. https://www.gofundme.com/f/jeff039s-funeral-and-end-of-life?sharetype=teams&member=5789784

Seems the API had a small glitch which should be fixed now. The theme is a bit different and the fonts have changed based on what the default skin had.
