As many of you will know, PB Bans has been under severe attacks for the last few weeks. It's believed multiple DDOS style attacks have taken the website down and prevented guests from visiting. The Euro Domination games league caught up with them, here is what they had to say:
It's a real shame to see such a good service go, they had to make the best of the rather poor set of cards EvenBalence handed them. Even so, is this just another nail on the Battlefield 2 coffin?

I hate to have to report this news, but PBBans has closed its doors.
Over the past few weeks they have been being hit by a DDOS attack on their server. Today they had another attack and the hosting company would not help them overcome the attack. They would have to move to another hosting company to solve the problem which would cost a lot of money, time, and effort.
The time and effort put in by all the staff members at PBBans has been enormous. But a year or so back, they lost one of the two main coders for the website because Evenbalance would not fix a problem with Punkbuster that allowed for bans to be spoofed. This left MaydaX to code the website and keep it running. Him, along with the founder, Rodeobob, now want to get back to their families and lives, so they are closing the doors to PBBans.]
