Most of you may of noticed Renbot has been gone for about a week now, just wanted to let you all know that I won't be bringing him back, because i no longer have the time or energy to manage it. So i wanted to thank you all for using my services (well, atleast sometimes) and renbot and i would like to wish you all a happy holidays and thanks for the great beatdowns you brought to me over my connection :)

RIP for Pawnybot too. Same excuse as above!
Thanks for the time and money you both spent on the gameservers; while asking nothing in return.
I don't care that the bots are gone, but time and energy? having your computer run an exe does not require either, think of a better excuse.
Can you say "reboot"? There are always plenty of idiots who start sitting on the same base as their enemy and fuck up the server. You also have to check hard-drives, (don't know if they do it on small wb servers, but they do on the major ones), update maps, ban people who misbehave, turn it off during storms (if you care bout your comp) and protect servers against viruses and worms and all that shit. So much for no time and energy.
Actually... Dan, wouldn't people do that anyway? Acro uses his only computer for a winbolo server. Let 'er run... just put a shortcut for the WBB mIRC file in the startup menu and there's no worries.
Maybe he means the energy the computer uses. Did you ever think about that, Mr. Jocky?
haha you don't "have" to do any of those things DAN, except the virus and worms one since none of these were running on linux machines. and do you think they turn off winbolo.net's server whenever dallas texas has a storm? or reboot it because they.......feel like it?
bring back pawnybot its the best bot :<
