Re: PBW status
 

PBW seems to be suffering from some issues lately. What are the specific problems and is there anything the community can do to help get them fixed? Is it just an ISP issue or is it hardware?

PBW is very important to the game and I am surprised it is not officially funded/supported by Malfador/Strategy First. The volunteers have done a great job, but they shouldn't have to :-/

I don't think it's all that bad really. 5/4, 4/27, 4/14. That's not even once a week. It's not up to par with a site hosted at a professional server farm, but for an amatuer operation run on shoestrings out of my garage it's not bad.

Exactly, you guys are doing a great job. Im just curious what causes the outages?

Re: PBW status
 

It varies. The script I wrote is doing a pretty good job of resetting the cable modem if the ISP acts up. But occasionally the cable modem will lock up where the script can't access the modem to reset it and I have to power cycle it. And like any windows server it will lock up occasionally. I should probably be more proactive and do reboots every few days, but I tend to forget about it unless there is a problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ah ok. I'm surprised your cable modem locks up, who do you use?
