Misery, as they say, loves company. Glad I'm not alone. :P

UrbanFox ... If I wasn't an old, fat, bald, retired, quadriplegic man I'd ask to have your children. You are a sexy beast.

Thanks. You're welcome to come play on US 1550 or US 2522, or one of my private hives. (Although, sadly, US 1550 is down for a while until my tech-support can tell me why it's not recording logs properly ... I probably broke something.) Currently running Lingor Island on the private. Email me anytime [email protected] ~DB aka Gravel, admin of US 1550 and US 2522.

Drekkz, her point was if you don't know what her in-game name was -vs- what she's posting with here, then how would you even know if you had the right person? If you don't know her in-game name then how would you know her ping?

Ban. But please remove his IP address from your post.

I think you folks were just trolled.

Why not move to a private hive? You can password it, lock it, even turn Battleye off if you want. Essentially the only thing you can't do is take gear in and out from other "main hive" servers. Now that's not to say a private hive is going to be hack-free, but you'll have more control.

And yeah ... sorry about the stupid double, triple, or quad posts. It does it EVERY time and I swear I only single click.

US 1550 and US 2522 (sister servers) are always looking for new players and/or clans. Please feel free to pop in anytime and take a look about. We do have a few rules. Like no hacking/scripting, no combat logging, no combat ghosting, and no hacked weapons, but otherwise they're pretty much standard servers. The two servers are set roughly 10 hours apart so that when one is day the other is night. That way my players can choose their enviroment. They're also both set up on a dedicated, high-speed server system. I also have a dedicated TeamSpeak server for my players and I will provide groups or clans their own passworded channel. And I'm moving into the area of offering my players two private hives as well. Currently Lingor Island is up and running and soon I hope to have the second private hive running the standard Chernarus map. Also, PvP is ALWAYS on. So please don't come in expecting a nice little PvE place to farm gear. Just sayin' :P

Mate ... Lingor Island. Private Hive. Sorry you're banned but this is the wrong place to complain about that. ~DB

While I don't agree with what the admins in this particular case are alleged to have done, I also take issue with your (Rush Crush) blanket statement. As an admin I'm sick of people coming onto my servers, that I do pay for, and doing whatever the hell they want and then attempting to hide under Rocket's coat-tails. I am a proactive admin that protects my player base from teleporting, scripting, bullshit players. And if you think for one second that you're going to come into one of my servers and do whatever you want just because it's a "public server" you've got another thing coming. Now, I won't protect them from good, honest PvP play. In fact, I'm all about the PvP. I want players dying. I want blood pumping from bullet holes and leaking from eyeballs. I want mayhem and banditry and carnage ... but I want it within the game boundries. I have rules on my servers, such as absolutely no as50-TWS allowed, and I check the gear logs of every player coming in. If people cannot abide by those rules ... then *boot to the ass* and good riddance. I have a great, solid core player base because I do, in fact, protect them from shitheads who think they're entitled to do whatever they want on an open server. And please don't think we're all one big happy clan, because we're not. I'll shoot my players full of holes and I expect the same from them. They all know if I'm in the game that I'm fair game. They also know that I rock the best "legal" gear possible and my corpse is always a goldmine when they loot it. Also, they know that if I need to be in game as "admin" because I'm doing something like checking a glitch out or screen capping a skiddie camp, or whatever, that I announce it in Global, and they abide by the request. But as far as tolerating self-entitled smart ass kids who think that because it's a "Public Server" they can run amuck doing whatever they wish ... sorry but that's not happening. ------------------------- Now, as far as what the OP and his crew have done. I see no harm there and you'd never be booted for fair play like that on my servers, even if it's my vehicle(s) you're stealing or me that you're trying to (or do) kill. You're all more than welcome to set up camp on US 1550 or US 2522. I'd be happy to have you, just be advised that I do shoot back. *grin* The two servers are set roughly 10 hours apart so that when one is day the other is night.

If you have a new Steam account and a new version of Combined Operations you don't have to go through all of this. *sigh* It's in other threads and you can Google how to do it so I'm not re-explaining, but you do not have to do all this crap to get your new key to work after a global ban on your old one. Really ... people amaze me. (And for the record; no I'm not a hacker, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Suites.)

I run multiple servers (dedicated high-speed "open" servers and private hives) through HFB and haven't had an ounce of problem from them. Quite the opposite actually. HFB support have been friendly and patient and always on the ball to help me un-fuck whatever I fuck up. Just sayin'

I'm playing (and running multiple servers) on a BootCamped 27" iMac. Runs like a champ, and you can't beat the HD screen for game play. I essentially went through the same steps that the OP states, only found them by trial and error. The only issues I have now are the occasional glitch with using the Mac keyboard and mouse with Windows. I can't switchout due to R/L issues, but I do suggest that anyone using the Mac to play games switch over to a Windows based keyboard and mouse ... at least while actually gaming. ~DB

You need to edit out the IP adresses bro.

Jay, edit out the IP addresses.

Pixels dude, just pixels.
