In today's update thread I mentioned we are working towards this...its on the list to be done.

Added 5 more slots.

Minecraft is back! Yes ladies and gentlemen (and moldy people), we are bringing back some Minecraft to the community. However, we are gonna try things a bit differently this time. Right out the bat, this is going to be a whitelisted server. If you don't sign up here, Click here, then you will not be able to do much of anything on the server. You'll be able to join and chat, but that's it. A server admin will need to place you into a usergroup that will allow you to do the normal Minecraft things. So what is the plan we have? Well to start out, we are doing just vanilla Minecraft. I hear the groans and complaining already, but don't fret, it isn't going to last. So what we are gonna do is have a few little group events over the next few weeks that only have to deal with vanilla things. This is the reason we are starting here. Get everyone back into the grove of things and have a little fun. Some events we are planning already is the conquering of an ocean monument, finding a stronghold and taking on the ender dragon. There are a few mini-games also planned but haven't been announced yet. During this period of time, you'll be able to do your Minecrafty things your way. We have provided you with some help to get started. We've built a massive Iron farm. Fuck wood tools to start out. You'll be able to start with iron tools and armor out the gate. Also we've built a pretty efficient tree/wood farm. So fuck going to find trees to chop down cause we have a way to grow and collect en masse. Need some food? We got your pick of food stuffs, we have a cow farm/killer, a fully automatic chicken farm and enough farmland to feed the continent of Africa. Want to get your books going for enchanting? We got a Sugar Cane Farm that automatically puts it in a chest for you. Want some gold or XP? We got one using Zombie Pigmen. So getting started on our server is gonna be pretty easy. We do plan to mod the server and have several resets of the end and stuff but that will all get announced as we get closer to doing those things. So if you miss having a Minecraft server or want to get in on playing with a group of friends, we are back and going to have a lot of fun. A few questions to answer: Q: What's the server IP? A: Server IP: spikedsmc.game.nfoservers.com:25565 or 70.42.74.179:25565 Q: Who is paying for it? A: I am fully funding this server so no community resources are being used for this endevour. Q: How many slots do we have? A: It currently has 10, but we are able to upgrade if needed (we are starting there as our last MC server never passed this point) Q: Are we advertising it to bring in other people to populate the server? A: We aren't worried about the population of the server, this is for people who want a place to play some MC with others. Q: What version of MC? A: 1.8.8 Well that's enough questions for now. So what are you waiting for, get yourself whitelisted and hop on the server to check it out!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/334210/ Anyone interested in this game, seen some gameplay vids and looks like fun with friends. So yeah anyone got this yet or would plan to get it?

After doing this for nearly 10 years we've tried several iterations of this idea. All tend to be more work and trouble than they are worth. It has been my experience that the setup here has been tried and proven to be the best and most efficient method of getting people working together. Also I like how @SpaZMonKeY thinks... Why isn't this guy an AO or BD yet?

What are you a politician?

He learned from the best right? ;-)

I really don't have a genre I am looking for, just a good beat that fades out at the end. No hippy bs.

Looking for a 60 second music clip for a video project we are working on. Needs to have good pacing and a smooth end. Anyone want to take it on or know of someone?

At least you didn't go the other route I'd be in competition then. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I don't know what the image was, it could be anything at this point. The image doesn't matter at all. As long as you reset your IP afterwords you'll be fine.

I decided a new thread was necessary to leave the older thread go as we are moving forward beyond the problem that got presented to us. You'll notice anything done before we turned everything off is still there and works. What will and has changed is all posts, PM's, profile messages and signatures from here on out. We've built a whitelist system that will allow you to use the IMG tag and if the domain is in our whitelist system, the image will show up. If the domain is not in the system, it will only display a link. Any images displayed like this are subject to moderators deleting the image and the post all together if we deem it necessary. That is the inherent problem with the type of exploit that was presented to us. We will not be able to fully stop it, really no bit of security measures we implement will stop it 100%. What we are doing is simply giving our users the upper hand. If someone tries to use the exploit, the only way it will work is if you click the link of the image they tried to put on our site. At that point, its your fault more than ours and sorry, but we aren't your babysitters. What we have done is made sure that unsuspecting users won't walk into a trap, they'll do that on their own if they click on it. Which is good internet security advice anyway. This exploit has been known for years apparently (new to myself and many of the other higher ups) as it is mearly used innocently enough to monitor traffic viewing files. It's role in a non-malicious way, is a good way to prove someone would be using/accessing specific files, possibly stealing them. However, in this nature, some people have found this is a pretty simple way to be used maliciously and use it to attack specific targets. So moving on with the details you'll need. Here is the current list of domains we have whitelisted: imgur.com photobucket.com inara.cz flicker.com facebook.com deviantart.com tinypic.com steamusercontent.com fbcdn.net steamsignature.com imageshack.us screencast.com rocketleaguestats.com puu.sh gyazo.com gfycat.com tumbler.com cubeupload.com We will look to add more to the list in the future, but we feel this is a good start and covers most popular things. If you need something more specific, message myself or a BD about it. Avatars are also back up too!

http://www.pcgamer.com/atari-vault-will-bring-100-classic-games-to-steam/ I'm excited about it...you should be too.

Just so you don't freak out, some images will still be here, but they are old ones that have been converted. Older posts and visitor messages being the best examples. These images cannot be updated as when they try to update it will reject it.

What is normal? Have you met @Rawrie?

Ok let's be real here... it was Netflix and chill. 2 asking a bunch of video game and anime nerds on fashion not the best opinions. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I am getting reports that we are having registration issues. Well I kinda need to know more than people are having issues. I need to know how they are trying to register, via Steam or the traditional way. What e-mail service they are using. What error specifically is coming up. This goes for just about everything, when someone tells you they have a problem, ask them questions even though you may not be able to help them, without more information, telling me someone has a problem with x, usually doesn't help me at all.

Have you met this guy before? Its his thing, most of us ignores him. On a serious note, the admin set up here has been this way since the inception of PB. The theory here is why it will never change: We've gone through so many thought processes on how to admin PB and its just a sesspool for rule breakers because the gamemode, like TTT, is inherent to everyone agreeing to rules not set by the game itself. With each time CS:GO goes on sale until they come out with a new game we will see these spurts of rule breakers come into the servers. Like you said its easy to pick out admins when they join the server, my suggestion and like others has said, go in undercover. That negates that issue. However, it isn't foolproof. The only way to guarantee people get punished is by player complaints when there is no admin.

This is definitely not the issue.

Here is an excerpt from an e-mail sent to some retail outlets regarding the issue: For more information: http://www.pcgamer.com/warning-steam-is-revealing-private-account-information/

Steam disabled their login procedures to fix issues, the login servers are back up and people are reporting things looks like its back to normal. More information on this, it seems a cache/session issue was to blame here where people were sharing each others sessions and/or cache info. This information is used for when you make a purchase that it make sure it goes through and usually is deleted within 10 minutes. It appears this may have not been the case. If you have Steam Guard enabled (which if you don't you are an idiot), you really had nothing to worry about. All credit card information (full numbers and details) are encrypted by federal law and were not accessed. It also doesn't appear and password hashes were accessed. I am calling this a glitch with the store. STEAM WAS NOT HACKED. Someone probably updated a bit of coding that had an unwanted effect where you could see things that are normally hidden.

http://www.vox.com/2014/9/4/6105631/map-galaxy-supercluster-laniakea-milky-way Today I learned that I needed to update my location here on the forums. For several decades we were thought to be in a Supercluster of galaxies known as the Virgo Supercluster. Apparently last year, scientists discovered that the Virgo Supercluster is essentially the 'tip of the iceberg' when it comes to the structure known as Superclusters. The science behind this discovery is pretty neat, if you are interested in space and stuff I suggest checking it out.

Where the fuck do you come from? OT, While this would be do-able with text chat, you wouldn't prevent voice chat. But we've never censored anyone for language and I do not forsee such a thing.

Well after having a few discussions with people I'm going to hold a post-Christmas gaming day. It will be similar to the gaming marathon but we'll have some fun things to do. I want to do some game giveaways as well. I have a few games that I've saved up from in the past that I can give away and I'll have a few more soon. If anyone else would like to join in on giving stuff away just hit me up via PM or Steam Message. So I'll be holding this on December 26th. I think I'll start about the same time as I did last time which was Noon Eastern. I actually liked the randomness of what we played and based off who was actually around worked well. We did learn a few things from the first time, which was most of the jackbox games really didn't work for us cause they had to watch the stream but then it caused them to not hear some elements cause it was on a bit of delay. So we won't be playing them. Rocket League seemed to be very popular, so I have no problem doing that a bunch, we probably could get a few of those games going if we got enough people. I know it will be asked, but I won't give too much details on what we are giving away or how other than you will have to be present to win.

This mod was one of my favorite back in CS:S, but @Frostbitten is correct, GMod Prop Hunt has taken over in that realm. We've really never had too big of a surge in people wanting to play this style for longer than a month.
