    BY Games to close down

    BY Games the UK's biggest games servers is to shut down on the 5'th of November

    I am a admin on some of the servers and think this is a huge blow to all UK gamers

    If there public servers are anything to go by, no wonder.
    4 bots on UT2003 and with maps which dont suit the number of players really dont help.

    Man that sucks. I was a very happy BY cable customer before I moved to Oz. Their servers were REALLY good if you were on the BY netowork. CS pings of <20 pretty much all times of the day.

    Clearly it was costing them too much moolah
