Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

ok someone posted a message that the host could run the game w/o PBW i'd like to start doing this. But...I'm not quite sure how to do it do I already have the necessary game files and all the players have to do is email me their turns?? plz say yes LOL

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

I thought there was an extensive message on that already in this thread. I'll go take a look.

[edit]: Yeah, Samurai posted it about 5 screens down. I've done it before. Not hard to do. Just send a message to each of your players...and, I guess, make sure they want to do it that way (not sure why they'd disagree).

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

I have Cox Cable here in AZ, and while I have heard of people having problems, I have had very few myself. When I have had problems, their customer support has been excellent. From a performance standpoint, the network is faster now than when I signed up several years ago. Long story short, at least some providers are still coming through. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Thx for the directions to the how to post http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif (I got lost, you said five pages ago i assumed page 24 was page 1 and went to like nineteen or something along those lines anyway I've now read the whole thread twice [once as it was posted and once trying to find the place] and one quick unrelated question...how do I get new cooler avatars and how do I get promoted...that's two questions...

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, I think your avatar is pretty cool...but if you want to look around, there is a thread in here called "house of 1001 avatars' (or something like that). It's might be a page down or two.

I'm not a pro on promotions but I think it runs a promotion at 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 Posts. After that, I don't know.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

4000 is the Last promotion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm signed up with Rogers cable here (~3yrs) who many people complain about, but my experience has just been like AK's to a tee, except I've never even required any customer service to this point! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

I envy you both for having good service with your ISP's.

The progression of Cable Services

Cox Cable Mid 80's to early 85's - Never dealt with
Columbia Cable 85 (Est) to 97 Ok, good to their interns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
AT&T 97 to 2003 Ok at first, degenerated
ComCast 2003 Fricking horrible

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

Too bad I can't place the PBW server at my work place at the Miami NAP (Network Access Point). We guarantee 100% power and connectivity and incredible bandwith, only hardware issues would be the only concern.

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
 

I used to be on cable. Never had a problem.

Now I am on DSL. Never had a problem ( City not included )

Luck of the draw I am guessing
