Bonk's Firewall Detector will be tested on the next SG server. If you are found to be running one, you will be warned once then banned from the SG server.

firewall detector ?? This gonna try opening ports that are vunerable and if they don't open- a firewall is assumed ??

S'cuse me if I say that I'm lucky to have a stable DIAL-UP connection at all and to know that my computer will be subject to a port scan to verify that my FW is actually disabled is unacceptable to me.

Can't we trust each other ??

I've had funky missions with a disabled FW and was politely asked to fly solo missions on obscure parts of the map- and gladly did so for everyone elses enjoyment so I don't understand why all the talk of banning. As much as I enjoy playing with all you folks I may pass on the next server.

Malak, didnt think anyone still used DU. Well, u have a point. I'll prolly ask everyone to use an account name that ends with CBL or DSL or DU so we know what they are on and FD's can be used on a per case basis simply because NO we cannot trust one another. Too often people think their firewall is fine because all the other games they play have no issues. Problem is this game's code was done b4 firewalls started being used and the way drafting works, firewalls screw it all up for everyone. You know, I'm starting to explain myself and I said I wouldn't... so I'll stop here and just say deal with it or don't play the server.

Hey if your doing that, I'll try after this ice storm to re-install, and add Sat after my call sign, if it's ok with you.

Peeps, have no idea how much I miss playing on the dyna.

Why was this thread resurrected?  If there is a message to be given about the server rules, let's do it in a more direct way and open way.  No need to drag up the past.
