this was something simple done, they just overloaded the system with so many pages on one browser and the system couldnt handle it, so it shut it down. or i could be wrong...

But hwat it seems like is going on is that somehow it gets so that the wiki redirects you to fsserve.whatever and then that redirects you to the wiki, and then the wiki goes to that other place and so on and so on.

that has been explained in the last page, but thats what happens when the system gets flooded and shuts down. frankly, its quite easy, but if its that easy, we need more security.........

I agree, it seems like this place is running on a security system designed for a 500 and less users type forum, not this big ol' thing.

I think you two might be crossing the line into paranoid a little too far. We may or may not have been hacked; For all we know, the server could've just lagged a few times because of the intense amount of space used for the wiki and forum. I doubt that's the true cause, but we should honestly not worry unless the admins tell us something wrong is occuring. :)

EDIT: I gots good grammar (Fixed it). :mrgreen:

well, were just the guys that treat the Wiki and its forum like.... umm.... a Nuclear device. we dont want anyone messing with it, if anyone messes with it, we work hard and ask so many questions and come up with solutions so we could try to prevent it from happening again, or exploding.

Yes, the radiation damage from a wikipedia explosion would be incomprable to anything known to man.

Exactly, until I get some cash I'm stuck with my dead job and this forum as mean of staying sane.


Another toastpaint seems to be in order.

ANd how do we know that? You're overeacting, it's probably a bug or something. IO think it stopped working around the same time as it did on Thursday, so there may be some kinda a timer thing set to do something, liek update maybe, but it's screwing up. Does anyoen know what time it went off on Thursday, I wasn't on the computer until 5:30, and I'm not even sure if I checked the wiki then. I kinda know what time it stopped working yesterday, before 4:22, but i don't know exactly, i was making a game then.

So, some troll bots vandalized a large portion of the wiki. Then the admins suspended the site for a while to stop the attacks.

Easy, juys. The Wiki and Forum might have been down for a while, but it's back up now. There's no reason to freak out- I'm sure the admins can and will get everything under control. Everything will be fine, nothing will be broken.[/suck upery]

If you were a conspiracy nut, you might be tempted to think that there are no outsiders messing things up and that the admins are just listening to me. We are in a pledge drive, after all.

Hah! I caused a worse problem than you!

I was scared and stuff. So I went on over to Porple's forum. My first day there. I made 25 posts! Anyway, it's all back, and we're all ok, no one got hurt.


YAY! More people are joining the forum! I was already over there, as was The Noid...

TP. (Not toilet paper, Toastpaint.)

Ha! I un-pwned you all!

well, were now in a state of emergency. no edits or new users can join the wiki. they can join the forum, but not the wiki. there are vandals, and there is something to panic about now.

Easy there, Fox News.. :mrgreen:
I think everything is gonna be ok. I don't think this situation warrants panic. Joey and his fellas are handling this..
Everything's fine. Nothing's broken.
Eventually, whoever's doing this will get bored or get a date or whatever, and this'll blow over.

If they don't, I say we visit their home as Vincent and Jules.. Yeah, I know, violence never solved anything, but it's still fun against people who would vandalize the wiki.

Note the message at the top of every wiki page. ;)

It's my feeling we'll be all right if we let the admins sort it all out. No need to panic.
