A turntable....hehe....that is for his Dean Martin Classics :P

Nah Swav.....it isn't that we dislike him.....it is more like when ya step in dog shit and ya have to walk around with that smell on your shoe until you can wash it off.

Damn.....and to think that we are from the same species. I think maybe you have some personal issues you need to deal with. Ever thought about seekin a priest and confessin your sins? Nah, that wouldn't help ya....maybe drop your computer and stomp it....that would help all the rest of us.

Damn! I knew that the lifecycle of the homodumbasserectus species would eventually mean that we would see the likes of him around again. He just can't get enough.

Wow.......all I can say atm is wow....cause ya didn't give me anything else to comment on.

Did you read the "Registration Agreement Terms" ? http://www.pbbans.com/forums/profile.php?mode=register I managed to verify number 3....but was unable to personally verify the other two. Number 2 is the one of the most important items. I visited the SPD site and didn't see a clan roster nor anything that mentioned the server admin, etc. In your server config, there are two e-mail addresses of those who are listed as server admin...but they do not match yours. I don't doubt your position in the clan....we just have to be certain before validating an account.

During the validation process, if your profile has missing or incomplete information...the account will be set aside. I am not sure of your particular problem....but shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will look into when I get home from work today.

I need your help in identifying the servers listed below. Here is a list of servers that we currently have submitting to the Repository: Server IP/Port_Clan Tag_Clan Name_Server Admin_Game_Status 63.171.136.15:20100_{VOD}_Valley of Death_{VOD}RodeoBob_SoF2_Active 63.171.136.18:20100_rFg_WarMonkey_SoF2_Active 63.171.136.18:20200_rFg_WarMonkey_SoF2_Inactive 63.171.136.25:20100 63.171.136.25:20101 63.171.136.25:20104 63.171.136.25:20105 63.171.136.25:20110 63.171.136.26:20100 63.171.136.26:20101 64.37.120.195:27960 66.246.72.61:20101_PBBans_SirRobHiFi_SoF2_Active 66.98.188.152:20100 66.98.204.214:20100 69.12.85.83:20104_-=E=-_Static_SoF2_Active 69.31.6.30:27960_-7-_Slappy_ET_Active 69.44.156.145:20101 69.44.156.145:20102 69.44.156.145:20103 69.44.156.145:20104 69.44.156.145:20105 82.136.22.101:27960_[boD]_et@Cymru_[boD`Ben]_ET_Active 195.149.21.146:27960_[EE]_Elite Executioners_S}{IT_S}{OT_ET_Active 195.149.21.152:27961 195.149.21.56:22111_|sF_Semper_Fi_Johnny|sF_Active 216.67.230.155:20100 - SirRobHiFi's old server... now defunkt At the same time, I would really like to invite as many of you as possible to help us out in the testing.

Yes, your server is sending the logs. At present, we are only using the Repository in a testing phase (i.e., stability of the system and bandwith usage) and we haven't opened the logs or begun to scan them for violations. After the next version of the MPI is released, CJ will begin focusing on how best to utilize the logs. So, in the meantime please continue to post your cheats on the forum.

I have seen PB kick people in as little as 7 seconds.

Agent Smith.....I do not know the particulars behind A-Tuin's logs....but he submitted the ban. Removing your name from the bans list will not happen. Anyone can fake a nick....happens all of the time. However, it is rather odd that your ip and nick both match was was added to the bans list. As for tossing out Ken Creedon's name as your contact, if Johnny Cheater wrote an e-mail to [email protected] he would get a reply from a person and not [email protected]. Therefore, you probably did e-mail EvenBalance and Ken wrote ya back. He isn't your personal "buddy" or protector. We, at PBBans, all feel that folks are innocent until proven guilty. Since you claim that you don't play ET then you have nothing to worry about in the RTCW world.

It actually sends a steady mirror transmission of your pb log entries. Your server pb logs will remain intact. Here is a scenario for you that may help: You start your server at 8am on 8 Apr 04 (with the Repository settings) you will see a log created in your pb sv logs dir ex. 00000001.log. At the same time, the Repository is beginning to receive your streaming data. The log files on the Repository server are named differently. They are named based upon the date. So in the above example the first log for your server will have 8 Apr somewhere in the name of the Repository log. The log files automatically change after 24 hours. So, in effect, you will have daily logs. If you don't reboot your server for 5 days, you will have one log on your game server....and 5 logs on the repository server. Did that help? Essentially, what I am trying to get at is you will still have your normal server logs in the location you are use too. At the same time, the Repository will have a streamed copy backed up for you. As to answering the question of how the Repository logs will be integrated......that is a programmer question. CJ is back in a limited fashion and is aware of the Repository logs. I am not sure of the end result. We may come up with 2 options.....1 for those who use the Repository and the 2nd for those who choose not too. If I had my way, I would make it mandatory for the Repository as this ensures security in the logs and eliminates the possibilities of tampering with the logs (i.e., adding bans that are not real).

Folks, I honestly don't see the big problem behind this. The repository is designed to assist you and not "release" your private secrets to the public. These logs get stored on the PBBans server for safe keeping. We need more folks to help out....c'mon jump on board and give us a hand.

So ummm, let's see someone makes a post on our site using the nick PunkBusterSUX and "claims" to have had issues with PunkBuster giving him blue screens and locking up. I have never heard of this.....but given his nick and his "love" for PB, and spamming.....it was only his way of spamming his little anti-pb crap on our site.

Your funny....going to spam an anti-cheat site with lies....if you have technical problems with PunkBuster then e-mail EvenBalance. If you are a lame cheater (which you probably are) then you need to get a new career.

First, your confusing me. Second, we don't like cheaters....even those that want to "sample" Third, we only accept violations from registered admin....so the likely hood that your fantasy scenario happening is "no chance in hell"

Still seeking some server admin to help out with beta testing this Repository. I really want to push the limits of it to see what affects it has on the the PBBans server bandwith. C'mon guys help me out here :)

So far, so good....the beta testing of the Repository seems to be working. The software itself is a bit buggy.....but it does capture the logs. Out of those 9 that said yes.......not everyone has updated their server.cfg files nor have contacted me with their server ip info. I really want to try to push the Repository and PBBans server to a good limit to see what sorta stress it places on the bandwith.

I honestly think the little pisser has us confused with the folks at EvenBalance. Dude, we don't make the software, we merely consolidate the violations and bans from many servers. Besides you want to talk about lawsuits......you better read the EULA from PunkBuster first.....as well as your EULA from your isp. You will still find yourself looking at the computer and playing single player......or feel free to visit the other servers who do not run PunkBuster.

Help you how? We do not offer our m8 Guido to do house calls. Besides, if your GUID shows up on the MBI for using a MultiHack....I applaud your clan's server admin for doing the job that is necessary. We have heard many stories of how it was my brother, my sister......it isn't about "WHO" cheated.....it is the fact that we don't want that GUID back on our servers.

You can set up the servers as long as those that "rent/lease/own" them are registered. As long as the clan leader or server admin from each server is registered and voices their approval for you submitting for them. As long as they are registered......you can set up the username/password however you like. They key thing to remember. The username/password acts like a certificate. We have your username/password assigned to the ip addy of your server. So, the Repository will only allow communication from that ip as long as the username/password matches. My suggestion use a key identifier from the clan (clan tag, server name, etc) for the username.

Here are the four lines that you need to put in your server config: pb_sv_logaddr 63.171.64.22 pb_sv_logport 24389 pb_sv_loguser someuser (create yourself a username) pb_sv_logpw somepass (create yourself a password) Once you add them....reboot your server :) Here are the three items I need from you to complete the process: 1. Your game server ip addy 2. Your username 3. Your password PM me those three items and it takes 2 secs to get it set up.

It is a simple operation: 1. You add a few lines to your server.cfg file 2. When you server is started, you will see your logs as normal in the pb/svlogs folder 3. Your server will send your log entries to a log that is created for your server and is located on the PBBans server....(ugg you mentioned that other sites name). 4. The log that is sent to PBBans stops at midnight and a new one is created.....so theoretically daily logs of your server is kept in a "Repository" at PBBans. 5. This information is not being delivered to any other location to include EvenBalance or that "other" site. 6. We are working on it now....we are trying to get a unique username and password for each server admin to use. That way he can only view his own logs. VOD has used the "Repository" system for a full day now....and it seems to be working well.

[12.15.2003 04:17:11] 2110a8e0a139e62aa5c04afa12cf93fb "^&KILLA ^6^cCAM^7" "68.38.142.231:" "VIOLATION DETECTED (AIMBOT) #50046" This happened on one of GameServers.net servers. You do not get this violation unless you "activate" it. Therefore, it is a valid PunkBuster violation and it will stand.

I am not sure how many of you know about this software, as it is in beta testing atm. I am testing it now with my server and I would like to get your inputs on it. What it does is it feeds your PB server log data to a "specified" server (i.e., PBBans).....while it is doing this....your normal server logs are not affected. PB still creates and utilizes them. Mind you this is not the PBBans system that we were going to use...but this may be used in lieu of it depending upon bandwith utilization. If you answered yes, pm me. If you have any questions/comments/etc....post away.
