Thank you EA, for paying for a site running a half-working WOL and using innapropriate pop-ups ads.
Thanks for supporting a buggy, shitty ladder site that isn't any different from the 1000 other ladder sites online.
Thank you so much!
Actually, its cool to be me.

Moreover, Xwis' strike team shouldn't need advertisements at all. The servers that run Xwis are paid for by EA. They state they kept the adds to pay for sending costs for prices for the ladder winners. Considering Renegade still has no ladder and if it has, couldn't possibly be subject for a price winner for the ladder as Xwis does nothing at all about cheaters on Renegade (so a cheater could easely win the prices), I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD HAVE TO BEAR WITH THE ADDS.
As for clanwars.cc, a downtime can happen to anyone, I guess.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

We had a good half hour's downtime. The thing about our ladder, compared to the original WOL ladder, is that when our ladder suffers brief downtime, game data is not lost - games are still reportable when the site is operational again.
Our ladder VERY RARELY suffers downtime. It certainly suffers less downtime than the Renegade servers themselves, under either EA or XWIS's management. It also suffers downtime on a rarer basis than the official Renegade forums, the ones on which we are currently posting. The old WOL ladder suffered downtime and erratic behaviour on a weekly basis, and when it did, game data was lost forever and the only way you could get games added was - wait for it - on the unofficial Clanwars.cc ladder. Once again we're the only ones who can help you out clan-ladder-wise, just like we are now and have been for ten months and counting.
As for it being "no different from the 1000 other ladder sites online", could you give me an example of a website that's been hosting a consistent Renegade league for as long as and with the same level of functionality and professionalism that Clanwars.cc has?
Thanks,
Spoony @ Clanwars.cc.

Indeed. At CW we have two prize brackets for winners - free EA games (EA handle that, obviously) and some C&C collectible items. I pay for those out of my own pocket, including the shipping, and have never asked anyone for donations or ads to support that cost. I'll also make damn sure they don't get sent to a cheater...

Funny, according to the logs that my monitoring software keeps, RenegadeForums and all other BHS sites have 99.81% uptime, leaving 11 hours, 6 minutes, and 53 seconds of downtime this entire year, INCLUDING the times when my own cable internet was down which would easily encompass most of that time.
However, if you're talking about the 2-3 minutes of "hang time" every 2 hours, that would be because the database is locked every other hour, on the hour, for database backups, which are necessary to retain most of our data in the event that some child decides he wants to mess with us.
What are your stats? Or do you even have them? Don't open your mouth and make accusations like that unless you're prepared to prove it.

That's more downtime than our renegade league has had this year. I can't prove this with statistics, but I know it for certain simply because I've been consistently overseeing.

Rich coming from yourself, considering the amount of idiotic and baseless public accusations you've made about my website... that thread on XWIS would be an excellent example, as would be our recent conversation by e-mail about your ladder project. Another shining example, while we're on the subject of people messing with your forums, how about when you were absolutely dead sure that *I* hacked this site (and your proof was an irrelevant comment which you twisted and took out of context), and it turned out to be nothing whatsoever to do with me at all?

You're a pathetic hypocrite. You're not only avoiding everything I just said, you also COMPLETELY fail to prove your original statement:
I've already asked you to justify this and you clearly couldn't.
Again, I asked you to justify this too... again, you couldn't.

third time and you still can't back up a word you say...
In other words, your entire "contribution" to this thread in regards to Clanwars.cc is | Quote: |
an attempt to make an arguement without the required evidence.
