I don't know what you're going on about, but PoBs weren't removed because people were making money off of them. I'm pretty sure one reason was because of the hackers that could kill a core 4 base within seconds.
I'll let you speculate on the others.

Cheating by players not following the rules sucks too, but to me not blabbing before firing isn't as big a deal as losing all those bases and the interactivity they brought to the game.
People were cheating because apparently they were using the bases to generate large sums of money.
Normal money making using PoB's like a business is not what we're discussing here. It is not cheating.
Not to mention that the hackers were able to wipe a base in about 10 seconds using hacks.
That's why they were shut off, not because people were legitimately making money off of them via the way they were intended to.

4.86 is named "The Exiles" because of all the permabanned people coming back.

You're the 2nd (possibly 3rd) person on Disco to say they love me today (assuming you're not one of the previous people).

Well color me surprised; Crackpunch actually said something funny.
I'm guessing the devs are also working on fixing the pob invincibility bug. There's plenty to sort out, so I don't see a problem with waiting.

Sadly to say maybe more appropiate words will be having bad luck i was not playing on disco for year or maybe more and recently i found out info that the pob works together with new story etc, now decided to come back and play to see myself thus when i started playing now again they are disabled
so i got no occassion to actually see them, well hopefully im gonna stay playing with/or without them, but just to say things like POB can really matters to increase server population and players activity i think.
