Ok everybody, here is your chance to help out the UT community.

http://petition.prophetsofdeath.com/

This petition is a plea for help from Epic Games to fix the existing holes in UT by creating one final patch to the game. This patch would resolve the issue where USCRIPT can be added to core UT files on the client side, thereby allowing players to cheat online by using Aimbots, Trigger Bots, Radars, Timers, and more.

We understand that this patch would not completely solve the problems at hand, nor would it completely eliminate the scourge of online cheating in UT. But it would at least give the cheat protection authors the ability to secure their code, and allow them to detect when these core files have been modified.

Many members of our community have already made public pleas for Epic to fix this problem, but so far there has been no response. We would therefore like to use this petition as a way to demonstrate to Epic how many people would like to see this problem resolved. The petition authors believe that unless this UT security flaw is repaired soon, online UT competitions will begin to die. Therefore, if you are one of the many people that still enjoys online gaming in UT, we urge you to sign this petition to make your voice heard.

Nice

At the minute theres 1070 sigs, we need more i think.
Can people copy and paste this in any other forums they visit please.
Thank you

This is the reason for it....copied from an unreal admin site.

As some of you may have heard rumoured it is likely no new versions of UTPure will be released.

I heard the rumours as well and I read postings on the UT2003 admin mailing list, unlike some on the list I asked the man himself, TNSe, what was going on ... makes for some interesting reading ....

Firstly I asked TNSe why no more versions of Pure were being made.
The basics are someone has not truly hacked Pure but a function from within UT which Pure used to CRC check itself.
Now this has been hacked its near-impossible to make Pure secure .. as the man himself put it "I don't pick fights without the right tools"

So .. why can't a new version be made?
UT in its current form would require the anti-cheat to be more intensely coded, meaning more Client CPU and Bandwidth usage ... not a place TNSe wants to go.
He states the only way for Pure to continue is for Epic to release a patch ... which apparently is not going to happen.

It appears Epic are slowly pulling support from UT.
Look at NGStats, thats gone now.
What happened to the Epic funded Midnight Interactive? Gone .. moved to privately paid for hosting.
Mark Rein was recently asked about the master servers .. his repsonse was "as long as a decent amount of people play the game they will stay"
Now on the one hand you could think "great, we will still have master server support", on the other you could think that it means they are thinking of eventually pulling the support.
