I will say this, I play detective more than I really should comparing multiple names, mids, ips etc. to match names. Sometimes I'll go through a list of someone's aliases just to find a matching bit of data on it that matches their name, or another name that then has data that matches their name. I'll trace IPs, dig through alias dbs, check multiple different spellings (this is a case many times... one in particular, I ended up having to show the guy info I was not suppose to just to prove to him the name spelt wrong was actually his), etc. The old ops / system. If login info, and registration didn't match, you're done. Our system is to try and match and dig for anything we can. But as with the old system, we have been burned by trusting word of mouth, and so we learned quickly not to and wrote that in our rules.

Every year the navy shuts down our shipyard for a week, and well next week is that week. So I'll be home, and between painting the baby's room, assembling the crib and stuff, I'll be trying to do some work here on the site. Got a few ideas for the actual content section, but as far as the downloads and tutorials, need some help there. As always some people stepped up, I told them what they need to do, and nothing happened. Sadly with the downloads section I really had high hopes, and honestly dunno what happened to Xog. Hope he is alright. I wanna make this next week really productive, so hopefully will make some leaps and bounds. On a serious note... Pastebin & Twitter feed. Anyone actually see a use for them? Or am I just wasting space at the top of the site. Please lemme know.

Quite a bit more than 6 yrs ago he created it, and played on it for quite a few years too.

Actually one of those 3 tickets, the person had the same full name as their computer's owner, and had filled in their real name on their new name on the registration. It isn't just computer hardware that it pulls. On top of that, there is 3 zone's alias dbs we trust that are rather old and we regularly use that to find matching login data.

Continuum was not a ground up operation. I think anyone looking at the timeline could figure that out (Priit's announcement to the first test release). Priit was not the solo coder of continuum. At the time continuum technically was illegal due to it having subspace code owned by BDE, & other code that was technically BDE's property included in it. It is a big messy web of crap that Continuum is stuck in. Really the only reason I think BDE never touched us beyond us being non-profitable to them, is Priit's work on KaZaA.
-
There is a lot of other data to fill in, and a lot of computer data also pulled upon registration we can look at / match. A lot of the time people just refuse to do the simple things we ask to help them, so they get denied.
-
On a side note: priit didn't create a command for it anyways. And I just retrieved 4 names off 3 tickets no problem
-
Typically if we deny someone, it is truly their own fault for not filling in proper information. I would say probably only 1/50 tickets get denied, and maybe 1/20 the person never replies to our questions. Most of the time we are able to find connecting info, and the name is retrieved. We have retrieved people's names who haven't logged in for more than 7 or 8 year before. But again hat is because they properly filled out all the registration info.
-
no rush, covered for a couple months right now anyways.
-
Syntax highlighting has been added. Also tweaked settings so will list all public pastebins for sharing purposes, and so it will save to file not database (this wiped all current pastes, sorry.).
-
looks more ice than rock, but unique nonetheless.
-
Yep got it, thanks man.
-
Don't see any of the zones up. Temporary issue or Snrrrub shut it down?
-
5b2 = to 5 deaths, and you have to win by 2. Meaning if you get 5 kills and they have 4 kills, you still have to get another kill (6-4). But if you get 5 kills, and they have 3 kills, you win. And if you have 5 kills and they have 4 kills, and get another kill, you need to get 2 kills to win still.

Thought it might be useful for developers and such. Toy with it. If doesn't look useful, we can remove. Lemme know whatcha guys think, honestly.
-
Think it is obvious. Just a way to award members for the things they do with some recognition. Maybe nothing special, but something none the less. Might find something better in the near future.
-
Noone has asked, but thought I'd say. I am going to pay this and next month's server bills regardless. Should end up with ~50 left of my money in paypal. Not going to list it in the donations, as I don't think of it as a donation. Anything donated over the total needed will just be used until it is used up. Hopefully by then I'll be good again, or atleast figure out what the next move is.
-
No. Might be able to be, but don't think so. I already know your first name and where you live anyways. Don't care really. Continuum grabs more about you than you'd care to know, trust me. But that is another topic. Decided to keep current server though. As I was reminded, just too much bad luck in the past with not hosting ourselves. Sa'll good. We've all got commitments, IE: why I am asking for any help.
-
Donations Updated. Thanks SD
-
Thread Cleaned Up. Put up a tutorial as a test. Seems template needs a couple tweaks.
-
Wanted to mostly focus on getting technical support moved over first... http://www.subspace....-what-can-i-do/ And yes, there is some template errors. Gonna see if a fix coming, or if I might need to fix them myself.
-
Have had an offer to cover all the costs, and have had an offer on hosting on another server. Weighing options atm. Trying to work on the site a bit more also, mostly on the back end. Been really busy and neglecting it for a few months, but finally got some of the updates/scripts I was waiting for from IPB. Sometimes wish they wouldn't give us heads up on nice new features, it just makes me make big plans that wait on them, lol. Would be helpful if anyone wanted to start turning the FAQ questions and answers from the tech support section into Tutorials under the Continuum Client section. Might help give it a kickstart. Fighting a stomach bug atm, so only on the computer a short time to check e-mails and messages. Thanks to everyone for the support so far. Reminds me that this site/game still means something to some people.
-
What other option you have in mind? Also, donations list updated.
-
Wow, a single post.
-
Yeah, I honestly really really hate asking for donations. Can only recall 1 other time in the past 10yrs or so I have asked for any, and that was only for a small sum. I just would rather ask, cover what I can from it.
