About that stupid ping display....

I assume one green box is best because Aussie servers have one or two boxes only, whereas the three-box servers are always german/euro. And because IMO low number of boxes corresponds to low ping and vice-versa.

I did notice that Clint's server had three boxes, but I put this down to him hosting on his residential connection.

Yet I now see ppl on the BIS forums agreeing that three boxes are best:
