News : A NEW csports.net!
on Saturday, August 12, 2006 - 03:50 AM WAST Posted by : Zzzt!
This just in from csports.net... "We'll be back in September!" Good news for those who've been following the saga of CSports! They have the info on their homepage and it looks like they're re-doing everything and making it available free of charge to everyone! Customers who have paid will get a pro-rated refund (see their web site/forums for the details)! The launch is in early September with the new servers and websites. Follow the link above and check out the website and forums for updates and info. I think it'll be great to see it all come together again. They provide a great service to us gamers. We wish them well! Enjoy the summer and we'll see you in the killing fields... Frag On!
CSports is having a huge amount of trouble for quite a few months now, it is a rather massive undertaking handling that much data, so I don't envy them at all, bare with them and hopefully they will get things fixed again soon, after all they are trying to provide a service which is needed, and hopefully it will be reliable once again. We will keep you posted of any changes.
It was down, but not out. CSports.net is a great tool for anyone playing UT, or any game online, regularly. For those who don't know about it, CSports.net is a worldwide game ranking and statistics site, that keeps track of personal player and clan stats in over 50 games and numerous mods. They have stats for over 22,000,000 players! Due to a bug in their update software, they crashed - many servers, much damage! It took a few weeks but, I gotta hand it to those guys, the stats are back, up and running. Awesome job guys.
For all the people who have ever played on Punkys Funky Funhouse and wondered what has happened to it and Punky, I have great news: Punky is alive and well! He was required to take some time to relax for health reasons. But the other night he showed up on the <lol>Clan server and it was the first time in a year or so I have talked with him. It was great to hear from him again, as he is more or less a UT Icon; he has self funded, made mods, and had a truly unique server for so many people over the years to enjoy. Many people I know once they hit Punkys as well as myself never went anywhere else after, it was that much fun.
