I've banned A shard for an obvious cheat with player numbers.

Not saying other shards don't cheat, if you make it as obvious as the shard thats just been banned then i will remove it.

Some people put alot of time into making their shards so i'm only trying to be as fair as possible when it comes to listing shards.

That would be my shard he banned.

Not unlike those other shards who aren't "obviously" cheating I alterted my loginstats.cs network.cs and packets.cs in a down and dirty move to prove to a friend all the top ranked shards can and do lie about their online player counts.

Much of this altering and asking about how it is done was openly displayed and discussed on the RunUO forums while Jeff was busy commenting on other post, meaning I am quite sure Jeff saw it.

This is your web site and your forum. I have no right nor expectation you would allow my shard which also took much work to bring up to par. And to tell the truth I figuire if making a Listing site that lies. Voting sites that lie. And forums that lie I will do that next.

We already have voting sites and listing sites directly related to shard ownership by groups of people who would like nothing better than to continue to lie about player counts to their players.

I am indeed sorry I pulled the cheating out into the light of day and rubbed it into everyones faces.

Perhaps if the top ranked shards didn't lie, new ones who work harder to make "good" shards woudlnt have to.

Thanks and have a good life.
