Little Digging: The lag is client side, It's more then likely a wireless connection if he's using a laptop that is causing it. It's also probably not MG-Specific, our server-side lag checks are quite strict. He probably only notices his lag in MG because he gets removed from the game so often.

Do you already have the files for other zones? I havn't expressely tested anything other then HS and MG, seeing as I only play one, and only tried to enter the other one 4-5 times since I got vista... Subchat > You.

For some clerification on this. Windows vista has done away with the .hlp file in it's entirity, it uses a new more dynamic format. Unfortunately this is causing problems with programs that opted to use theb uilt in help system. Since Vista's release MANY programs have been doing away with .hlps for conformities sake. However, do to the fact the most active developement being done on the client right now is watching people try and reverse engineer it... Well... I don't see an official fix from priit or his ilk. I would like to know if anyone has found any other way around this. I've heard that it's well within the possibility of installing the .txt then converting it to a .hlp file. But I havn't actually gotten around to testing out anyones theories. I had heard a HyperSpace Smod had figured out a way to fix it. But I've yet to hear how. So goodluck to you all. Edit: Just realised something, zones that put their .hlp files into .lvz are not experiencing the same problems. I've switched all the .hlp files I could find over to .lvz files and havn't found a person with a problem as of yet Perhaps the SSC Zone owners wouldn't mind switching over to .lvz genericly to help vista users?

DCME, Though I appreciate the final .40 update.

Buy a new router, First hop = fail. There is no reason it should hit above .1%

Indeed. My opinion is... I don't join chats stupid people have access to ^^ To be netbannable the incident should fit into these qualifications: Spammer Specifics: Is hard to, or unignorable (Via %% aliases, or switching names consistantly) Constant or large amounts of spam (fillls your screen in seconds) Past history within the zone the pilot frequence. I don't believe in giving known problematic players too many chances Chat specifics: If the chat is a squad chat, the chat can be changed easily. If it's a chat that can be local'd, then local it. If it's an SS-Wide or extremely well known chat that has a constant playerbase in it, making rotating it and keeping a person out impossible. Then it's understable. If the person(s) doing this fit into these, then it should be bannable. Past that, there are available limitations you can put on pilots/chats to stem the tide so to speak.

They arn't listed nore unlisted in the NetWide Ban Policies. It boils down to the factors with what he was spamming, and how severe it was. It was an SS-Wide chat, and was being spammed with an alias like %%1%%red%flag%%, to avoid easy ?ignores. I don't know much about it past the screenshots I saw. I think the ban is a bit extensive. However it's more then expected As for 1$hot... you can't silence cross zone... Why is this still open? I thought ban disputes wern't permitted via the forums...

Well, that was a waste of a read... afk

If this goes through, SSCC Metal Gear CTF's bans currently go through knight.op@gmail.com seeing as the @MGCTF.net webmail server is once again bugged out.

I'd say any zone that can clear a population of 60 (not including bots) during their peak point in the day and has a constant (nor near constant) player base at all points of the day of active (playing) players, is a zone. With the exception of MG, because it sucks

All we need is the 2-3 remaining players in the top 15 who are good friends to donate their stuff to holes, and I !@#$%^&*ure you ani can't touch holes. However I do believe animate could easily purchase his way to first right now if he wanted to. I guess we'll see.

To true freak. I'm not aware there was a list aaside from that one I found showing who are netops. And if I do indeed have a net-related issue, I'm not going to go zone to zone going "?help Any netops on?" just to have the majority of the zones staff badger me with what it is about until it I finally explain the entire situation to them going "sorry, I can't do anything about it, and our netop isn't on" Which has happened on more then one occasion. Including in DSB. Your probably right that there is a large amount of netops I'm not aware of. However considering for the longest time of SVS being our inactive netop, I've searched for netops. Minus going ?listban, and hoping one of the last 100 bans worth of netops are on. (Normally being disconnected for ?finding 20 differe aliases, I can never seem to get ahold of one. Honestly, I've never had a problem that I can't inevitably sort out. I've either went and got the person locally banns in whichever zone they flock to after I've banned them in mine. Then I can normally find you, kewlair, svs, or jeri within a few days when I need something done. Normally kewlair the fastest, as funny as that is... But Unless someone is willing to make a publicised list on who people can contact. It kinda voids the purpose of having netops. "They are there, you just don't know who they are!" Doesn't really help in the slightest. I didn't mean to upset you hoch. Or expect anything done, I just like ranting. Besides... GS has finally given freakmonger netop in MG, so I soppose I don't have to worry anymore. ^^ tootles.

I just came across this when I was looking for a netop to place a ban. (seeing as TT is our temporary op atm for SSCC Metal Gear CTF) Here is a complete list of netops currently in SS. According the the council website: Bargeld - SSCX Alpha West SVS BlueGoku - SSCX Hockey Zone GhostShip - SSC Network Grelminar - ASSS Server Programmer Hoch - SSCU Death Star Battle Kewlair - SSCB Red Star Mackieman - SSCX Star Warzone, SSBase.com Owner MikeTheNose - SSCU 17th Parallel, SSCouncil List Admin Mine GO BOOM - Server Website/Programmer Mr Ekted - SSCX Powerball, Client Programmer NightHawk - T3 The Gauntlet passplay - SSCX Chaos/Premier Pointman - SSCX Extreme Games PriitK - Client Programmer Pure_Luck - SSCU Trench Wars Testtube - SSCC Metal Gear CTF, hoster of Subspacedownloads.com\ssdownloads.com, ssforum.net\sscentral Wonderer - SSCX Warzone CTF, GetContinuum.com Owner Zeus - SSCX Extreme Games I got bored... and I got booted for command flooding... but uhh, here: Bargeld - Not online, last seen 8 days ago BlueGoku - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago GhostShip - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago Grelminar -grelminar is in SSCX PowerBall Hoch - Not online, last seen 20 hours ago Kewlair - Not online, last seen 10 hours ago Mackieman - Not online, last seen 2 days ago MikeTheNose - Not online, last seen 12 hours ago Mine GO BOOM - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago Mr Ekted - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago NightHawk - Not online, last seen 2 hours ago passplay - Not online, last seen 6 days ago Pointman - Not online, last seen 41 hours ago PriitK - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago Pure_Luck - Not online, last seen 3 hours ago Testtube - Not online, last seen 38 hours ago Wonderer - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago Zeus - Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago Out of 18 listed netops: Only 9 have been on in the last week and only 6 in the last 24 hours. One of which is online now, but is currently AFK. Or ignoring people. who knows ^^ Now I know posting here will get nothing done. I just wanted to state that maybe we should rethink the current NetOp policy. Like for larger zones permit more then one level1 BanG Op. Or to possibly just find a few more active available netops in general. I've got no real solution for this. Other then there are quite a few known players among alot of zones that would make good possible netops. (I'm refering to alot of secondary sysops of most zones. I also don't mean for this post to insult anyone. I understand everyone has lives here. But I do still think we need more available netops. Or atleast active ones.

I think I actually enjoyed reading that grav. Not that you have ever been there ^^ What is your opinion on SSCC Metal Gear CTF. I'm actually quite interested.

Just to smite you... 161 shields, 45 thors (because I sold them all prior to this) and 5k members just came from me. and I believe 100 of both thors, and shields, and over 3k members from dark. We just transfered it to holes' account, and I intend to get anyone I can to transfer their stuff to him, so pouch you for this topic. Thanks.

give sd what he wants. remove his moderator ^^ I deserve a VIP for being one of the two administrators of one of the highest populated zones on SSC PS: Jds sucks

Kirk beat me to it? Feel free to delete this topic. Apperently polix got told before I did... Way to p!@#$%^&* on the ifnormation poop.

Think google had a good april fools joke with the toilet internet? 'twas a nice joke, however I swear to god their staff has too much time, and a very amazing sence of humour. Follow these simple instructions To see some interesting humour at work. ^^ (Do not attempt what they suggest...) Anyone ever get directions on mapquest, or google maps? I have. Interesting thing a friend of mine came across well messing around: Go to http://maps.google.com/ > Click the [Get Directions] tab near the top. Once there, Get directions from "San Fransisco, Usa" to "London, Paris". Once it calculates the map, which is always the same. Read through the directions carefully for a good laugh. ^^

I apologise aswell. One of the currently banned members walked my through transfering turns from one account to another, once I realised exactly what I was doing, I removed everything I had gotten(that I knew how to remove...) and reset the account completely, if I had known how to delete the account I would have. I've very sorry if what I had done contributed to any pain or unneeded work for polix. If I didn't act so blatently ignorant, I'd have saw what I was doing before. sorry.

No Comment other then Kirk's ban has magically lifted

Changing a ban to days: 0 turns it infinite. I'm pretty sure anyways. Kirk is locally banfreed by TT. And kirk is still netbanned.

Well... kirk is banned, and plat has lvl1

Just small things no one other then the staff here will ever know, or care about Also, can I get a spiffy VIP tag I never post here really... unless it's something I think I should voice my opinion on... however I'm always reading

I'm good, just doing some stuff SVS told me I could never do That's all ^^

Plat will show up until someone either gives him netop, or gives someone else netop... then he'll leave [/kidding] Hi platipus Havn't talked to you since... zeta O.o
