Server down
Posted by Pha. Sphinx 5335 from on 2008-07-10 19:57:56
The server went down this morning, leading to the loss of some data.
Fortunately, the loss was limited to the last 4 days and not terribly damaging.
The server admin had tried to recover the lost data but to no avail.
It's a pain but you'll have to re-solve the challenges you did in the last few days.
We're sorry it has happened.
Updated: Added a script to backup HOFs and points stats on a daily basis.

That's quite a lot. We're terribly sorry about that. But there's nothing we can do to recover the lost data.
It's a shared server and shit things like that happen that are beyond our control.

Can't you just change some values for me..? And if not would I be banned if I tested out the security on the server myself?

  I'm afraid not.
  As for testing out the security, well, if you find something amiss, we would be happy to hear from you. But that's really not the purpose of your journey

Well I'm not looking to complete my journey via this method, just get back to some place I remember with 61 CP's. I'll let you know if I find anything amiss,or rather you can jsut watch for my title to change to scribe:)

  We don't want to encourage people to take this route. So I strongly advise you not to try it.

would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?...
