Over the past few weeks they have been being hit by a DDOS attack on their server. Today they had another attack and the hosting company would not help them overcome the attack. They would have to move to another hosting company to solve the problem which would cost a lot of money, time, and effort.

The time and effort put in by all the staff members at PBBans has been enormous. But a year or so back, they lost one of the two main coders for the website because Evenbalance would not fix a problem with Punkbuster that allowed for bans to be spoofed. This left MaydaX to code the website and keep it running. Him, along with the founder, Rodeobob, now want to get back to their families and lives, so they are closing the doors to PBBans.

Is that the reason why I cant connect to any CoD servers for the past 2 months?

Or was that just me?

Wow I fail at subject titles.

I realize punks busted and pbbans are two separate entities. Only pbbans is down. An XPL admin I talked to said they are attempting to move data centers. Lets hope it is a success.

The quoted article says they will reopen at a new, more secure, data center.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
