3-PG Game Servers have moved
Written by KevLaR   
Monday, 09 June 2008

If you have not already noticed, we migrated our game servers to new IP's on a new server.  Please update your Steam Favorites with these new IP's.  You can find the new IP's  here, here and here . Cool  

The new server is handling the new server load with  amazing success!  Our new server specs out to be about 2x the previous server and is running ~65% cpu with ~120 people connected.   In contrast, our other server was running ~90% cpu with 100 people connected. 

3-PG would like to thank the administrators and members for their generous contributions to make this happen.

Texas Governor Rick Perry is coming to a game convention near you! 

thumb_rickperry-headshot That's right folks, Governor of Texas Rick Perry is visiting your gaming convention soon, and not just any convention but E3! Interestingly enough he's providing the keynote speech as announced by the ESA. But what's that you say? What does Texas and Government have to do with gaming? Well apparently Rick Perry has done some things to actually help along the game industry, like opposing a 50% tax on 'violent video games'. High Five Gov. Perry!

More Cyber Crime Funding
Written by Cannonarm   
Wednesday, 02 April 2008

data_securityWith cyber terrorism on the rise as more and more terrorists gain intricate computer knowledge and the level of advanced computer users with too much free time increases, the field of cyber crime is falling behind way to fast.  President Bush is calling for a major increase in spending up to 7.3 billion dollars. 

"The president's put a lot of emphasis on this recently," says Robert Jamison, undersecretary for national protection and programs at the Department of Homeland Security. "We're concerned that the threats are real and growing. ... We're more vulnerable as a nation."   In 31% of the infiltrations, Tom Carper says, "agencies do not know who took the information or how much information was taken."

A big focus right now isn't the middle east, but China.  Several of homeland security offices still say they are deficient in cyber protection.  The pentagon has been able to link several of the cyber attacks to China, even though reports out of Beijing deny any involvement.  The Chinese have an exhaustive amount of money and resources and much of it is dedicated to technology, unlike the US.

To test security against about 100 possible attacks, the Department of Homeland Security today is completing a week-long series of simulations called "Cyber Storm II." The event presumed a coordinated cyber attack on information technology, communication, chemical and transportation systems. Participants from five countries, nine states, 18 federal agencies and more than 40 private companies participated.
