Found this at Euro Dominations homepage

PBBans, our partner in beating the "cheaters" and maintaining a cheat-free league, has officially closed its doors.

PBBans wrote:I hate to have to report this news, but PBBans has closed its doors.

Over the past few weeks they have been being hit by a DDOS attack on their server. Today they had another attack and the hosting company would not help them overcome the attack. They would have to move to another hosting company to solve the problem which would cost a lot of money, time, and effort.

The time and effort put in by all the staff members at PBBans has been enormous. But a year or so back, they lost one of the two main coders for the website because Evenbalance would not fix a problem with Punkbuster that allowed for bans to be spoofed. This left MaydaX to code the website and keep it running. Him, along with the founder, Rodeobob, now want to get back to their families and lives, so they are closing the doors to PBBans.

*** UPDATE ***

It now seems that PBBans will not close their doors and instead will be moving to a more secure datacenter!!

Thankfully, this means that service will continue as normal once PBBans have completed their move. We apologise for any inconvenience in the functionality of our website caused during the downtime of PBBans.

I've also setup a Twitter account for those that use it http://twitter.com/PBBans

And for the record this is not a "PR show for there donation drive", we were under a massive ddos and now moving datacenters. To all the haters you can do a whois on our old ip and new ones when we come back online. When you offer a good service, people are willing to pay and all the donation are kept for new hardware and maintenance.

Their sight appears to back up again. Donation sent.

I think we should make them part of our monthly server cost. They have a large following and they do a good job.
