Or, I just know what I'm doing. There had much problems in our clan too and
most of the problems was just user stupidy errors. Latest was kinda tricky,
friend got all the time PB kick, reason was no data flow. Pbsetup was
telling that everything is fine and latest. So I said that just delete
everything inside of PB folder and run pbsetup again. That fixed his
problem. "I didn't know that it's possible to remove all files..."
Sure it's possible now. pbweb.exe required one file (pbcl.db if I remember
right).
