 So you limit hosting capabilities to make money... VERY cool.

i remember playing on xbc back when it was called xboxconnector and you got on dalnet #xboxconnector to ask people for the ip addresses, maybe you should go back to doing this
i haven't been on xbc since the xboxladder days right before you all took my ops away because i mentioned the name xboxladder and you didn't want any competition
also remember when you were all like "it's free now and it will always be free", and sure you have a free version, but everyone get's motivated by money, which you did
anyway i would still be playing on xbc these days, but i just don't like teh way the buisness has conducted itself since it's begining, but glad people do still use it, even if it is STILL mainly for halo, man i wish people woudl get over that game

anyway, pro worth buying?  probably not

heh very...

we have all the actually useful features in that list for free tho... dont even get me started on how you charge for ability to do such simple things (if there are any we dont have, its cuz they are really silly/pointless/unneeded in a tunnel to begin with).

and your stats mean nothing because they are silly. none of that info is actually relevant.

people setup fake accounts all the time, its not our fault you dont clean out your db.

I think everyone knows that you have a ton of halo players, but highly doubtful 500k are active... maybe 1k or 2k but reality prevails here.

Always done that.. anyone who wants to play with pre's can just ask..

QUOTE

Infinite hosting for everyone..

QUOTE

Not relevant on kai - structural gaming arena + dynamic list updates.

QUOTE
XBC Pro lets you apply ping filters to the game list.


Not relevant - negated by structural game list.

QUOTE

Doesn't ping do that? But yeah - Kai supports regional gaming, and special interest groups too.

QUOTE

Structural arena - doesnt matter anymore.

QUOTE

It also costs you $15 :(

QUOTE
MIRC colors


w00t t3h ub3r l33t. Grow up.

QUOTE

Pfft. Sack of crap. Kai has an open client API spec, complete support for homebrew and a team that actually want to help others make stuff. Thats 0 out of 3 for XBC.

QUOTE
Player banning


Trivial - should be there for anyone.

Your user figures are BS - this has been proven by a number of people. The only good thing u got atm is Aquaduct - at least those guys know how to write UI code.

Love,

Andy

xbc pro is definately worth buying. the custom kicks alone are worth it. and having a permanent ban list is great for all the noobs that quit out mid game.

xlink is a good alternative to xbc, but personally xlink has a lot of noobs on imo. everyone plays bg ctf all the time and i always get kicked. i even had someone say to me 'if you want competition that's what xbc is for'

 nice thing is that anyone can post if its on topic here, without worry of getting a thread locked for mention of another tunnel, or in your world, "competitive freeware alternative product".

aint it grand?

how's that ms support going btw?
