I can't seem to located your ban - could you provide me with your in-game PBGUID to assist. Thanks.

Apologies for the delay, looks like the ban was made by a third party. Should be lifted now. topic closed.

I just bought a 512GB for around £150 for my laptop. Very very fast - restarts in 20 seconds or less. Sleep to on is instant. One of the best buys I've ever had.

Doesn't really say anything conclusive though. Just that there is code that *could* be used - it's not as if they are back doors or anything just some of their functions have been discovered. Without looking at the actual code it can't be determined what these utilities are for. It could be that the 'packet sniffer' is used for finding other Apple devices or media services. It could be that they are aware of exploits and have this service in place to detect them and prevent them. Or even to prevent certain information from leaving the device. Most of that article is wild speculation with the actual person bringing out the information trying to get it across to the reporter that he's not interpreting what he is saying correctly.

Yeah @@Sammy nothing like that I read it as something that would be on this website. You would have a list of 'Departments' (in this case admin groups) and you would send a ticket to them. It would then be a private conversation between the admin group and the OP. There is a free one available that looks pretty good and it would help us keep track of problems people are having. Maybe even having the ability to 'elevate' a ticket to a higher admin group - I will look to see if that is possible. I have been looking for something better than our current appeals system so that may be a possibility. (Current appeals system requires a senior to approve messages). I did try using the 'Tracker' for this sort of thing but it was overcomplicated.

Just to put my thoughts in here as I have been away for a few days. We are all in this together - we share the same tags and are in the same community. You can choose to be pro-active about keeping the servers clean, that is your choice. You can choose to do nothing and complain, again your choice. There are no requirements of your effort for keeping the servers clean however the more you help the more will be done. As far as the 'evidence' not being good enough. There are many hacks out there and our admins are experienced with dealing and recognising them. The majority of videos we receive are accompanied by the accusation of 'hacking' and claims that it is obvious. Now we need to know that with beyond reasonable doubt that the player is hacking, if I can put whatever we see down to a graphics glitch, network or something else then there becomes a doubt. I kind of like the ticket idea.

You haven't installed the service - install it.

Awww I'm so cute

If you add me on Xfire I can lend a hand.

Mixture of the the two, it shouldn't be allowed to happen but does.

Install the service. Init = Initialisation - it can't start as you haven't installed it.

In an effort to give the website a little refresh and a mix-up I have made some changes to the Minecraft section of the forums. Gone is the dark default theme and it has been replaced with this nice light one themed around Minecraft. If you are reading this then you will be viewing it through this new theme - hope you like it. Only this section of the forums and the new super Minecraft index page utilise this theme. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/page/minecraft.html If you want to use this theme around the entire site simply select it in the bottom left corner of the page: (It will already be selected but click it again )

Yeah this is the right place - do you want it changed to 'Archie'?

Send me a PM with the email you want to use and temp password - I will merge the accounts.

Hehe I like it for when I get bored If you ever want to play with it the full version is here: http://xtremeidiots.com/bored.swf EDIT: Link: http://xtremeidiots.com/bored.swf

I have updated the DNS SVR record.

You may not have connected to this server but you did play on one of our others and were banned for racist comments. Because of this you will be unable to join any of our servers.

I think there was a discussion topic somewhere but don't have time to look. When you are a developer you try things out - hell i'm not going to tell members or ask members every time I want to change something on this website or before I add a !fu command to the servers. You try things out, experiment to see what works - some people don't like change, some do. You never know until you actually try it and to do that the change has to be made. I get that in the end what the main playerbase likes/dislikes will usually be implemented but this has to be balanced with the fact that this is an old game and the only reason our servers are still popular is because they evolve and change. Our servers are like the Battlefield series except instead of a new game we bring out a new mod - there will be that transition period of bugs and feature tweaking, but in the end we come out with a great mod.

Ok, well it's back now but still needs a load of updating done

No, it's still being worked on - it has decided to behave badly after the PHP version changes.

Not sure on the result.. but you need to install the services http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php
