Accually it was a low estimate.

Google PBSScollector and you'll see that it was an automated download and detection system for PBSS.
I also manually inspected all the PBSS, perhaps just glancing on each, but enough to notice visual cheats, and also see that the image I'm looking at was the game/Desktop or web browser

Not my video, but should be an indicator on how it worked.

OHHHHH so you meant to say you know of a program that has SCANNED over 2 million screenshots.

Not you, yourself. Thats quite a bit more believable.

I also personally see quite a difference in the definition of INSPECTED and briefly glanced at or has appeared on my screen.

That is nit picking tho.



Can you give me a single example of a pb ss showing the desktop or something other than ingame? I never saw it and cant believe PB or a reputable company or game would be harvesting that kind of info and leaving these kinds of gaps and possibilities for errors as i mentioned before. - by taking screenshots of anything other than the game itself.


There is also the fact that PB was never a real full screenshot generally scaled way down and cropped.

And your a condescending, power abusing, privacy breaching, horrible excuse for an admin.
That would be "you're". That's just your perspective. If I was truly power abusing, you would still be banned. I've done more benefit for this community than you could ever hope for and that's not being arrogant and I'm not talking about maps.

At least I wish the best for the community
I don't? Hmm. Seems to me that without this community, Assist would be pointless.

Yet you post evidence of the power that can be miss used.
Keyword is can. Hasn't happened in the last 5+ years, why would you think that would change?

Eliz knows how to conduct himself as a respectful professional admin.
Respect: you gotta give it to get it.

Its disgusting where this game has gone
I agree. There's too much democracy in Assist where an asshole such as yourself is allowed to play.

People like spanky should be doing work merely behind the scenes - if at all. Because he clearly cant manage to maintain a proper, fair, respectful conduct. You just shoot down raised concerned, name calling and so on.
If by behind the scenes, you mean stay off this forum, that won't happen. See, I do actually help people. Check below my name, 40 internetz. That means people agree or thank me. Look at yourself, -21 internetz. I don't think people agree with you much. I am quite fair actually and I'm sure the other admins agree. I am respectful to those that warrant and give respect. If someone comes on here complaining or someone can't read the text on the homepage, they don't really deserve my time now do they? Except you :) This is amusing. As for the name calling, you instigated it.

Im sure if people knew theyd be angry.
You have stumbled across the whole point of the TOS.

Once again. 100% beside the point.

The possibility stands. and again, not only available to those who currently have access to it....BUT if it got hacked or compromised in any way.

It also hasnt been 2 years. IIRC this was rolled out like 5 months ago?
It's not beside the point, it's a valid counter-argument. The possiblity also stands for Facebook to sell your information or for someone to break into your home or someone to hack into your computer. The possibility of privacy breach is ALWAYS there. That's life. Too many people complain about privacy. If you want to be private, go live in the woods and have no contact with people. Next people will complain that their neighbors know where they live... Jesus.

Assist has been around for over 5 years and thus we could have harvested info years ago and stolen identities. Guess what? That's not the goal of the project.




Perhaps it's time to feed a little fact to poor misinformed Dav3; screenshots aren't automatic. They're only taken if someone is suspicious, to gather further proof.
It's like shaving your pubes to make your junk look bigger.
Might look bigger, but it aint.....

That is the most useful piece of info I have ever seen you post.

Why would u not just have said that outright in ur 1st reply instead of keeping with ur regular bs and letting this banter continue?










Gawwddd and to compare the forum "internez" LOL yea, u got fanboys ill give u that much.

Your account is also from 09, with nearly 8,000 posts. On top of being an admin and having fan boys.

That should actually say A LOT about your contributions. you have posted nearly 8,000 times and only 40 have been intentionally deemed useful. Those are not numbers I would be bragging about.


Where as of course I have negative. Most my posts are asking for improvement and pointing out issues, and assist is seemingly administered by a team that doenst like to hear anything negative, and has a team of internet trolls backing them up lol. Id also be willing to bet at very least half my negatives have been from you.

I'm sure that I could find more online if I put some effort into it.

By comparing the two, and foolishly ignoring many biased previously mentioned variables. Yea, sure....

LOL man you people are hilarious

Thats shocking to be honest.

The difference still stands. Im still guessing aao was at very least open and minimized? Notice how it lists a server and map so on....?

1. To make you rage about our abusive powers and privacy infringement.
2. It's still irrelevant. We COULD abuse the system. Course, now you seem to have changed your mind about that...

Id also be willing to bet at very least half my negatives have been from you.
Ratio of internetz to posts doesn't matter a whole lot really. It just shows that I'm more helpful than you. Pity. I also did have higher internetz but went through the whole "hurr durr let's troll the community" phase and then lent my account to someone else that did the same. Pretty sure I had triple-digits before too. For such few posts, you sure are negative. I might have voted once or twice but most of those negatives you have are from the community who do what they want. I have no influence on them and I can't point out a single one that kisses my ass 100% of the time. Course, there's people that agree with me, that doesn't mean they are fanboys or devoted to me. There's not many people on here that I talk to outside this forum. I could count them on 1 hand and have enough digits left to give a peace sign.

Thats shocking to be honest.
It's shocking to you because you're wrong and here you thought you were right 100% of the time.

Detroit is beating Oakland 3-0

Oh and btw I agree with Dav, if your not running the game a SS shouldn't be taken. Even if you do it on a "wim" thinking someone cheats. I would call that an abuse of power. If you can't catch them while AA is up and running then Oh well.

That's one of the reasons why i quit assist i didn't accept the terms, and you should do the same Dav3, i'm not willing to let some my personal stuff in strange hands, not because i have anything to hide, it's just because privicy it's a right of yours and it's wrong to let anyone jeopardise it.

And by the way you can't compare assist to the another versions of America's Army, those are supported and in case of leak you know what door should knock, here it's quite different. Back in the day, who played in TWL, knew (should know) what CDC did but only the ones who accept it played. So word of advice Dav3, if you wanna play in assist you have to allow them to do their checks if you don't just unninstal it, it's like if you wanna get into their home you need to take your shoes off.

Finally, what would be AA without the drama? (Rhetorical question). :cool:
