  • BF2S.com Now Better Than Ever!

    Just recently BF2S.com flipped the switch to direct all traffic over to its new, faster server (with a phatty 16GB of ram). With this comes many new perks to benefit the BF2 community.

    Some of the features most will be pleased with are as follows:
    - Site is 10x faster == 2 hours updates
    - Expanded History section
    - At-a-glance award availability
    - Complete searchable player database
    - Achievements Section
    - Updated UBAR section

    All of this and more can be seen here, screenshots included:



    Enjoy.

        Yeah, if you've recently visited the site your ISP's nameservers are going to take about 24 hours to get the new records.

        If you're really interested, you can edit C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS

        and put in the following line(s):

        64.151.80.188 ubar.bf2s.com
        64.151.80.188 bf2s.com

        That's just a temporary fix so that you're not using your ISP's old cache of the bf2s.com and ubar.bf2s.com records. You could then remove it later on. Again, for the people wanting to see.

          Weird, my stats have gone backwards. Before the change it was up-to-date, and now it's about a week or more old.

            Give it a bit. This is because there was some time between when Jeff copied over the old database to the new server. Now the database has to update again with respect to who requests their stats.

                Actually, I believe Jeff bought an expensive escort to pleasure him while he is programming. :hmm:

                  Yeah well that site is the best of an average bunch. No offence to that site, but i havent seen one that had it all. Most have things others dont, whilst having idiosyncracies (sp) that others dont. So all together, the sites make stat tracking whole, but on their own, they lack somewhat.

                  Oh and for the adwords and adverts on the site. Get firefox and adblock extension. Then right click on the iframe, and block it. From then on, that iframe with be removed and it will look like the iframe was never implemented into the website. I do the same for totalbf2.com and their crap.

                    Erm, don't get me wrong.. but, you realize these sites cost money to operate right? Not everything comes free in the world unfortunately, and clicking an ad for a well deserving site doesn't hurt. BF2S in particular makes an effort to look clean and not have ads all over the place. That goes to show how much we care about the look of the site while trying to keep it online at the same time. Obviously no one wants to see ads all over the place, but I mean come on - it's a source of revenue that's needed in order to stay alive.

                      I find BF2s stil the best, who cares updating takes somewhat longuer, like it mathers if you get your stats from now or from some hours ago.

                      the layout of BF3s is by far the best, good overview, no crap, everyting on one page, history, .....

                        GREAT NEWS!

                        Thanks for the headsup, BF2S has always been THE site to go to for stats. It has such a clean, simple, easy to read look, that portrays the most information in such depth and detail. The layout of all the awards and its requirements is fantastic!

                          You really think i care dont you? If that site goes down, another one will undoubtedly pop right up in its place. I can guarantee that. I dont ever want to see ads. Ever. I dont care if a guy spends his dying hours making that website. If they were his dying hours, he shouldnt be spending it making a website that people can just bypass all his sponsors.
                          Its rather like the red button on the new digital cable tv that is arriving here in aus. A red button on the remote activates the advertisements. They built in a button on a remote control to allow you to view ads ffs. That would have to be the most idiotic thing i have ever heard of.
                          Same with ads on websites. I have a popup blocker and an adware remover and a embedded ad remover. And i will never apologise for any of that. Did i ask for that ad crap to be downloaded to my computer so that i can view it? Hell no! Will i ever? Hell no! Will i ever apologise for the fact that i removed all the stuff that gives them money? Hell no! If i wanted to support something i knew was going to last, i would donate money myself. Not be forced to by ads. And that particular website will most likely have a life of about 2 years. After that. Boom. Dead.

                          Oh and for the record, i have adblocked the google crap and the donate button on bf2s.com. And yes given the chance i would do it 1000 times over.

                              I can see where you're coming from.. but BF2S doesn't use popups - my point being that the ads are snuggled away for the most part and not blatantly put all over the place. The fact still remains that you're being selfish in that someone worked hard on something, you're using that work, and you seem to be so against a tool to earn some revenue back for the time spent on this hard work. And then, you're in forums informing others on how to do so. Getting into specifics.. we have an active forum community for the most part that knows that the ads on the site are what we use to keep the site running. All it takes is a bit of understanding. I'm not trying to 'turn' you to disable your software or anything, I'm just making a point.

                              I could say the same for open source software. If I use something quite often that was available free off of the internet, I try to donate a few bucks to the developer. Audacity for example, free audio editing software.

                              I really don't want to argue, but I just can't believe you're taking such a self-centered stand on this. :hmm:
