We did suffer some network issues I don't have any exact details but I believe it was router failure. It wasn't anything we could do. Whole datacenter was affected.
This also means that from last night some of the streaming data is lost because our log repository wasn't available at some times.

Lets hope that all is fixed now.

I wanted to welcome the Altimate Gaming League to the PunksBusted family. Recently they announced mandatory streaming to PunksBusted. Welcome to the fight guys!

PunksBusted has recently been in talks with CoD League and is happy to announce that CoD League now has mandatory streaming to PsB. Welcome to the fight guys!

EA Digital Illusions CE AB has contracted with Even Balance, Inc. to integrate PunkBuster™ Anti-Cheat software into the soon to be released "Play 4 Free" cartoon-style shooter known as Battlefield Heroes™. We will soon be opening a section on our website to support PunkBuster™ for Battlefield Heroes™.

Dear Fellow Members and Friends of PunksBusted,


We have an important and serious matter at hand. Many of you may have noticed the new PsB donations thermometer on the front page of the site. The thermometer is a visual representation of our current progress towards purchasing another sorely needed data server. This new server will be used to help handle the massive amounts of data that PsB must process in order to provide everyday services to you.

Many of you have asked to be notified by staff when PsB is in need financial help. That time is now. Please donate to PsB by becoming a Premium Member of the site or by purchasing ad space to display your clan banner on the site or by clicking the donate button and sending in a few dollars. Every bit helps.

We did not have a donations drive for the last server and it took 2 years to save up enough money. The cost was a whopping $5,500. That one has been in service number crunching and powering most of the services since the first of 2008. It replaced a dinosaur of a machine. Now we have a second dying dinosaur that needs to be replaced. Fortunately, the cost of this new server is less because it will mainly be used for look-ups and data storage. The cost for this one is $3,700.

Without getting too long winded here, we are asking for your help. I don’t want this to take 2 years again. Let’s make this happen in 2 months or so this time. The PsB servers need to be able to handle and keep up with the number of member servers streaming. Right now they are strained to the max. Data scan times are getting longer and longer so the time is now.

Please donate a few dollars to the cause. If you do, we will reach our goal in no time and secure a bright future for one of the best anti-cheat services on the planet. Let’s band together and make the mercury rise in the thermometer! I’ll update our total everyday so we can watch it go up!

Help make it happen. Donate today for the new server!


Sincerely,

DeFain ~Founding Member and PsB Treasurer
On behalf of all ~PsB Members and ~The PunksBusted Team
