BRenBot isn't a competitor to BR.Net. BR.Net has features like the local ladder and nice GUI that are lacking in brenbot. BRenBot started out as a coding project of mine to remote admin a win32 server from a linux box. The windows server itself was too slow to run both the FDS and a windows admin prog like BR.Net, so I created brenbot to run on a linux box and remotely admin the windows server. From there mac and I have tag-teamed working on it and improving it. I decided to try and make it run ON windows, and thanks to ActiveState supporting POE (multithreading objects for Perl), it became possible.
In short, BRenBot is not meant to out-do BR.Net, rather to just extend my origional concept of remote administration and integration of the Renegade FDS. There are other great bots out there, including GameBot and DragonServ. There will probably always be features that some have that the others don't, this doesn't make it a competition, it just gives server owners more choices and variety, which is a good thing
