Servers on GameSpy. - Whitedragon

BCServ5 and BCServ4 are now listed on Gamespy via WOLSpy.

Meaning that regular players can join from Gamespy, ASE, or +connect now. VIPs and moderators, however, will still have to be logged into XWIS to join the server. This was done for security reasons, we can't have someone with any kind of power getting their nick stolen.

If you're a VIP or moderator and do want to join from Gamespy/ASE/+connect, you have 2 options:

• Use another nick
• If you have a static IP, ask us to add an IP exception for your nick. Basically, this will allow a VIP or mod to join from Gamespy/ASE/+connect only if they're playing on a certain IP. If you want one of these added for you, make a post in this topic asking. If you don't have a static IP don't bother asking, we're not going to be changing your IP every day for you.

The nick length limit is set at 35 and will not allow characters below "!" or above "~".

New Forums - ccfan4326

Welcome to the new forums! We've moved from Invision Power Board 1.x to Simple Machines Forums, which offers new features and is actively supported/updated, unlike IPB 1.x. We're currently using the default skin and playing around with some other premade skins, but plan to have a new one that will resemble the old forum skin. You may notice some strange and/or broken things as we're still working on getting everything set up properly, sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh, and we finally have a proper URL now; forums.black-cell.net!

Another New Ladder - Whitedragon

Once again we have a new ladder system up, which can be viewed here. It works very similar to the old ladder:

• Ladder Points are calculated using the following formula: Ladder Points = (Veteran Points + (Score/100))
• Both servers use the same ladder
