[Bill Cuffley]

Issues with lag > 28 peeps seem to go away with PB turned off.  Worth

Nope.. they are started clean on the command line... Ive tried the bfsmd
hack, but never got it running as it should. ie. i could not kick or
ban.

I will probably run bvsmd whenever that comes out. I will probably never
run that butt ugly system that comes with bfv.
