On March 8th, 2014 we decided to enable PunkBuster on our main FFA server. We also applied to have that server to stream it's data to PBBans, totaling three servers running PunkBuster with streaming enabled.



This links to all of the first time offenders' bans caught by Forgotten Heroes.
These bans are backed up by evidence such as PunkBuster screenshots, CoD4 In-game demos, CVAR checks, MD5 scans, and of course Even Balance/PunkBuster raised violations.


We chose to enable PunkBuster to lighten the load on our plates as admins, in regards to cheat detection. The streaming aspect only made sense because it not only greatly hardened our server against specific cheats, but also because PBBans maintains the bans we stream to them, allowing other clans to benefit from our cheat catches, and Vice Versa.

Obviously, PunkBuster isn't perfect, and admin interaction (demos) is still vital. So far, we've been doing very well in this aspect, and hopefully we will only get better! 

I take it server is not streaming now?

FFA hasn't streamed since June 2014.

I seems a bit of a waste not to use the MBL. There any reason why not?

JUST FYI
