These forums are hosted in Canada and not on free speech per-say; it has always been moderated and your ability to message on them is gifted from the likes of Rugger and myself. There is no magic constitution on here; just what a few random people from different corners of the world decide together... but rest assured if you ever have issues connecting to them it's likely me wanting to take a break from reading your messages and fucking with you. VPNs are great, but you you are effectively shifting the trust from your ISP (private company) to the VPN provider (private company). You trust that the VPN provider does what they say and doesn't log your activity, hides your originating IP and keeps their software up-to-date and secure. Any website host can/will/may block VPNs to *protect* themselves. We do it to varying levels on this site and our servers; yes VPNs can provide a privacy protection to their users and most of the time it's fine, it really doesn't matter that a VPN service is used. But at the point that someone using a VPN starts to use it as a 'shield' to protect themselves so they can do "wrong"; be that activities such as spam, hate speech, racism, gore, or hacking attempts - it's at that point a host starts to block all users of the VPN or just generally the usage of VPNs. But that's a complete aside to the original topic of this thread... but I like the topic as it interests me

If you think AI isn't going to affect your football (VAR), your beer (supply chain logistics), or your sex life (don't ask), you’re in for a very confusing decade.

They test it by pushing it to the dogfood ring aka. employees lol

Obviously I'm biased - but much of this is straightforward marketing; you experiement with a bunch of product lines, see what sticks and then push forward with them and remove the ones that don't work or have no future. This isn't the first time Microsoft has discontinued or changes strategies. "Everything has gone to shit" - or, we are pushing out a huge increase in product features at the same error ratio but that results in a higher 'number' of noticed issues overall. Windows and consumer is a tiny portion of the AI related product lines I would think.

My bad, you both had bans in the past - AI changed some code for 'Active Bans' and didn't get the expiry dates right so your previous bans were reapplied. Should all be good now.

You don't need any paid for subscription. Just ensure that you are using a modern client to connect to your emails. You likely will have received the email if you had recently or had a client configured with an outdated mechanism (or it was simply sent to all).

I may be biased.. but I like it

I haven't the time anymore to dedicate to the website (haven't in a while) and it is a disservice to XI for it to stay unchanging. Hopefully brining Totty on will bring some change and life into the forums and add some improvements over time. I will continue to be involved but taking more of a back seat and focus on the infrastructure and Portal. Will surely break stuff though

Ticket has been raised with TeamSpeak

The GameTracker website has been messed up lately; it's been unreliable serving the images for the servers list and some of the blocks appear to have been rate limit related. Ended up putting in a 'middleman' cache to stop it slowing this website. Duc

Such a vague description

Congratulations! was this doing the exam or are you joining the cult?

I was going to remove the stats as multiple months went by without anyone visiting the site - it's a load of work to keep it going as it is legacy, especially as there is an extreme minority that use them.

The temptation to edit it down to 2999 is strong...

The timeout is 15mins, no persistence or refresh. This was knocked together in 3~ hours or so and I am now away from home so can't update it #sorry.. Just answer quickly or note your answers

So what are the numbers looking like for confirmed people?

I will be happy to see her! and you I guess

I'm in @Olive may not be though which is sad. But I will be travelling with him the month before so still happy!

I finished Uni in 2015..

I thought this was going to be a car rental joke.. disappointing..

Looks like it was deleted - he found the server in the end though so happy end to the story...

We cannot give you any help with this as it's not our server..

I think you have already said in the chat that this was a "death-inc" clan server.. so I would suggest you appeal to them not us.
