Honestly i agree with the OP here that PBBANS are a bit overboard with the process and clearly that turns people away.
but it is your choice and with other providers offering easier alternatives to PBBANS then they will grow and PBBANS will loose more servers streaming through them.
I dont know the reason why they have gone down this road but they have and they are still a respected name when it comes to streaming at this stage so i feel that bit of extra effort to stream though them is needed at this stage.
I do hope they look at ways to improve the process and make it easier but i still still the need to stream via them so i put up with it for now and as an admin of a large community i have to do the best for the community and that is the end verdict in the matter what is best for my community.
