We’re back..
Couple days down while we shifted hosts. The old host was suspending my account for no good reasons, providing a pretty shitty service and cost twice as much as this new host. What’s more they cocked up the DNS change so this whole move took a little over a week instead of 24 hours. Let’s see how this one goes!
The forum is from a backup less than 24 hours old but the wordpress update was from a little over a week ago. Some comments may be missing on wordpress, sorry about that =\
Interviews with super important people..
Phogue posting news about Phogue on Phogue.net about how the community is recognizing Phogue for excellence in being Phogue. Find out more about Phogue in the interview Battlefield Communities did with Phogue.
I’m not that conceded I swear 
This website was only meant to have a hundred hits a month for the small programs I write. It now has a desperate need for change of name since it’s grown into a community that encompases more than one person 
Interview with Phogue (creator of ProCon)
BC: How do you see the future for both ProCon and phogue.net?
Phogue: BC2: Vietnam and BF3 hopefully. Otherwise more plugins and some user requested features being implemented. Unfortunately it’s not possible to make everybody happy. You have to remember though that it’s only a minority that sign up an account on the forums and then fewer still who log in to actually make requests.
I’ve always had an unwritten rule to never respond to posts without pleases and thank you’s in them. What most people don’t realise is that two minutes spent typing out a request translates to about 20 hours of further development and testing.
My Steam account says I’ve spent around 500 hours playing BC2, while my in-game stats say something closer to 200. I’ve spent at least 300 hours, probably a lot more, alone in a server poking and prodding bits and pieces here and there. Not all of it comes to fruition in the Rcon today, but it’s all still stuff that needs to be field tested and confirmed as user friendly.
Another plugin just got published by XpKiller for MoH stats collecting as I was writing the last question. It’s ever evolving =)

Community Spotlight #6 – Phogue.net
Phogue, or Geoff as he’s known in real life, started the http://www.Phogue.net website a few years ago when he developed an RCON tool called PRCon for THQ’s Frontlines game. When Bad Company 2 came along he resurrected the project and developed a new RCON tool called ProCon for the game using the relatively sparse info available at the time.

Procon Hosting/Logo/Phogue.net/Textwalls
Phogue.net does not provide, nor does it receive payments directly from, any Procon Hosting Services.
Here is a bit of mumbo jumbo describing some of the terms and uses with advertising on phogue.net and using the smiley logo or name elsewhere.
Holy wall of text batman!
Free
Procon is a free piece of software in every sense of the word. All users are completely uninhibited in regards to personal modification/use, and as such any derivitives developed are to be distributed at no cost. This IS a condition of use. By law you are not restricted in how you use Procon so long as any service offered on your part is at no charge to users excluding hosting. The term “Free” is not be used in advertising for your services on phogue.net less all corresponding services and derivitive software itself is null of charge and restrictions.
Donations
A donation is a monetized form of a “Thank you”. No hidden extras or special offers are to be exchanged for a donation else it be recognised as a payment. The term “Donation” is not be used in advertising on phogue.net if it is considered a payment.
Logo
The Procon logo may only be used to advertise Procon. It is not to be used in conjunction with your company and/or services. The Procon logo is a registered trademark and as such is only to be associated with the software itself and originating website.
Phogue.net is contacted several times a week in regards to technical support issues with third party services. ENSURE your customers are aware that any service supplied by outside parties is NOT affiliated and/or an entity of phogue.netor Procon and any payments recieved are not being made
to phogue.net but are infact payments for your service.
Procon Name
Procon may NOT appear in your business name/title. This is to avoid current and future confusion similar to the Procon logo issues.
These changes are in effect immediately. Phogue.net and forums will be cleaned in 24 hours with no notice given to deleted content.
The terms of use outlined are non negotiable.
The idea of these changes it to create a clearly defined separation between phogue.net, the procon software and procon hosts.
Noob Toob Evolution
The hit reg is pretty damn good in MoH with the other weapons but it almost feels like console aiming with the sniper rifles. I’ve stopped dumb founded after taking a shot thinking “Shit, missed” only to see a +10 when I know my shot was way off. It explains why I’m getting killed a lot by the sniper rifles when it’s almost like you don’t need to aim with them.
It’s strange when I’m not rolling my eyes at getting noob toobed, but I am knowing some one was somewhere obscure when they took a shot in my general area that curved over the rock I was behind behind to hit my big toe (a fatal moh sniper wound).
Medal of Honor’s made not moving profitable which is great for those that enjoy hardcores onus on slow, campy gameplay with the win in a firefight usually coming down to reaction time instead of aim. I like the game though, more health would make the game better and see me playing it for a lot longer. At the moment it’s pretty damn cool, but not quite sunnies at night time cool.
