This may not effect anyone here but this does mean the 3 GameSpy Renegade servers by Bygames are going down. For people who do use gamespy they would know that the 3 servers they host are normally full. The two 24 player ones and the one 40 player one.

Just over two years after the launch of blueyonder's online gaming service, we are sad to announce that bygames will be closing on 5th November. The decision has been made by Telewest as part of a wider strategy of focusing on it's core business of internet service provision, whilst using other specialist companies to provide content and applications.
Subscribers to bygames will not be charged for their final month of service, so everyone will be able to keep on fragging for free until the power is turned off in November.
Blueyonder customers who have already paid their October monthly subscription to the gaming service will be automatically refunded on their next bill.
The bygames team would like to thank everyone who helped build bygames into an award-winning service especially the excellent volunteer officials - without their time and effort few of the achievements of bygames would have been possible.

Sadly true. I was hoping to make the announcement here myself, but I haven't been able to get online all day.
The servers will be going down, but we're hoping to run some "interesting" events in the meantime, such as an ANARCHY! server (FF on, no base repair) and other pointless and stupid things 
There might still be a Renegade server or two running after the closure date. Watch this space...
