Correction, the value is 60 days not 6 months

Or.. install the pbservices? http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

To clarify: Teamspeak was not 'hacked'. The redirection people are referring to was someone connecting to the server and telling people to change to a different one. The server was crashed because there was an unpatched bug - not hacked. /closed

This post has got me so confused.. to clarify, should we be reading it as: Or am I just going mad?

It seems that you know more about your ban than your first post suggested. The admins will discuss the information you have added here.

What's funny about this is that the latest released included the bugfix "Bots are no longer dead-accurate at longer ranges.".. they are kicking ass even with downgraded hacks.

The payment gets paid into my account each month

People like voting for fun, it's them trying to get a banner that says XtremeIdiots to the top of a webpage by repeatedly clicking a button. Just like gaming - no real benefit other than the fun you have doing it. To question why people like voting is similar to questioning why people like playing a certain game.

Apologies, I made the assumption that the 'one extra vote' you were referring to was aimed at the quoted "That isn't cheating SOB" which was in turn referring to the one extra vote from a work computer. Not the quoted "Using an ip changer to vote 100 times a day is cheating". Either way, it is not cheating to vote multiple times a day from different IPs. It's cheating if you use an IP changer such as a proxy.

Wrong, sorry to say but top100clans encourages users to vote from different locations, perhaps you should read their FAQ: http://www.top100clans.com/index.php?a=page&id=help

Shouldn't affect other games, it's a bit of an unwanted Windows feature anyway.

There is an issue where when you run Teamspeak and Insurgency, Windows comes along and reduces the Teamspeak sound. To fix this problem from occurring perform the steps in this bible guide: http://www.xtremeidiots.com/page/public/bible/_/insurgency/teamspeak-sound-issue-fix-r13

It's usually pretty good if you have a good password and use two factor authentication. The risk is minimal that the actual data would be compromised. Steam is a more reliable company in my eyes as they implement high security standards for all their products. But if you choose not to use them then you cal always buy the games in a shop and redeem the code.

Just for a bit, I have been setting up the admin stuff is all.

I will be sorting out some temp admins asap. I will look at what's up with that, currently running as an anon server which may be the issue so will get it registered.

lol the thread was a month old before revival.. not sure anyone would actually set a month long cache timeout..

Hey there - PM me what you would like your name changed to and I will get that sorted.

Only yesterday did you ask me to remove a thread about your ping issues and now you post this. Forgive me if I no longer to take your PMs with sincerity.

Sorry there is only a Windows build available.

Sure you don't already have that version? Steam downloads the latest version so you shouldn't need to patch it. Check which version you are actually running and also try verifying the game files through Steam.
