Well, the thing is, SSForum.net is still on the twsites account hosting a couple of sites. No issues there. I have a server using a sscentral.com subdomain for a domain alias and all, and recently it itself was being hit by traffic, spam, and hack attempts. The firewall log is pages long. Now, I'm not 100% sure if it is continuuing on the main domain, TT hasn't imed me about it anymore. But the bot spam is continuuing. So it is all in relation to the sscentral.com domain itself. The new style is nice, yes, but what is the point if everyone is typing www.ssforum.net anyways. Literally, 9/10 people I talk to, type www.ssforum.net.

Noone has any clue who did it. I mentioned it to GS, but he didn't know who updated it all either. So this bumping is pointless. Topic closed since it has died off.

you mean 3gb/s not 300gb/s. Does your motherboard support 1.5gb/s Sata or 3gb/s Sata II? if the 1st, you need to jumper it to make it run properly at 1.5gb/s. if the 2nd, than what are you transfering from and to? Could also be causing the issues.

Oh... and to Register, you have to do Captcha, Tell how many ships in Subspace/Continuum, and E-mail Verification... So we know the 2-3 spam accounts we run into daily, are people, not bots.

I know we just had a poll about this, but moving it to general. I think these reasons give a bit more insight on my thoughts lately. Moved: Hidden Lounge -> General

1. I think the spamming has to do honestly, with all the attacks on SSCentral.com. It'd seem we have been having all sorts of attacks, hack attempts, and DoSs attempts (one that was VERY close to taking the server down) lately. Around this same time, we have had tons of spam members joining left and right. To the point I have even debated doing admin verification of new members (won't, but debated). 2. Honestly, it is what most people know these forums as. Yes, I was able to boost traffic as Forums.SSCentral.com and get a lot of people here, but most members still just type http://www.ssforum.net to get here. 3. Mod_Rewrite would allow me to do a lot of nice things for zone forums. IE: masking, or making a shorter url to their forums, etc. Rather than just a redirect. 4. It feels like a waste trying to keep a domain alive just to have it redirect. We lose it, we lose the menu redirects on continuum, all the links around ss, and someone could take it, and do some malicious things with it to unknowing players. Opinions?

http://www.subspace.net - Owned by AhmedF. Wonderer was able to bargain with him having it mirror GetContinuum.com, but seems he has either changed it, or we now know where Wonderer has gone. http://www.subspacehq.com - Minibari Warship went missing a long time ago, and we lost ds98.com and its servers. Luckily mackie got him to point it after lots of e-mailing I'd guess, but than the domain expired, and Minibari has still never been heard from. http://www.sscontinuum.com - D+ and Gameplay got a divorce. So D+ is trying to build http://www.subspace.ws into something, but according to Rowen, it'd seem it isn't going anywhere at the moment.

Wee... almost got my computer back up and running. Gotta love when your C drive oddly corrupts, and when you go into XP Repair and try to dir the C drive, it shows nothing, and when reinstalling xp, it shows only 1mb used on C:\. Atleast my D drive is fine, so all my do!@#$%^&*ents and program files we're saved, gotta love that... grr.

Due to my lack of time lately, I haven't been able to put almost any time or effort into the forums, and honestly, I think it shows as of late. So I decided to re-admin Syrus to take over running things day to day around here. Will help me in my other needs/projects for the site. He's in charge, so his word goes as mine or swift's would.

Meh. Why spend your life worrying about where you came from or where you are going. If there is a God, I believe he'd rather we just live our lives over worshiping him, and spending all our time debating this !@#$%^&*. One of my favorite poems. My grandparents, who are highly religious mind you, have this in their bathroom in front of the toilet, so you can't miss reading it.

Not sure how entertaining everyone else will find it, but I found it funny.

They haven't released the info yet. Will be in the next few weeks.

From my experience running large populated forums... Yabb - POS phpBB - has it's perks, like being free, but falls in comparison to the administration control of the top 2 uBB - the current stuff, useless. The old software, that was some sweet simple !@#$%^&*. IPB - while it started free, the only reason we purchased it was who wanted to convert to vBulletin and pay, just pay and be done with. It has a lot of nice features, but lacks some of the user side perks phpBB and vb have. vBulletin - The cousin you want to !@#$%^&* of current forum software. It isn't cheap to run, is VERY controllable, and has most features IPB and phpBB both have, and then some. The only downside to being so controllable and customizable... SO HARD TO SETUP. Once you have ALL the settings set, and everything together, it is a dream. But there is literally HUNDREDS of settings you'll want to customize, or need to to get it going smooth. But as I said, once all done, the forum is a dream to run and administrate. There is more mods in the history of vBulletin than the other 2 combined, and the code is very easy to read through. This is what you get when a company who has always charged for scripts codes a forum software. Not a free one, or one who went from free to charge. If I had a choice, I'd fork out the cash to vBulletin. Cheaper, and better.

I guess the council had tried something, but nothing ever came of it. So I talked to Ghost and than E-mailed Priit myself, but no reply from Priit. The issue wouldn't be as much getting the site setup, as it would getting access to the firewall and such. There isn't a lot that could be stolen through that access, if correctly controlled. I had e-mailed and brought up the fact to a few people, it would be VERY simple for him to setup FTP with strict access for a script to run on cron, and go in every say 15mins, when it is all written, and grab the files, parse em, and store the needed data. But nothing has come of this yet.

Actually, Root is wrong. The answer was yes, and it is going to be implemented soon. I had the mod to get everything working right. SSCentral.com is just the priority at the moment, and so a lot of new features are sitting on hold.

Mervbot.com was a gift from me to Catid. But than 1st offered him a new site design and all, so he moved his hosting there, and I didn't renew it. So he was probably still figuring he had catid.ssihosting.net or whatever it was.

Script issues Fixed.

Edit: For those who don't get what I meant, look at his !@#$%^&*le image/member group.

Ok. Goodbye.

Have you tried installing any other games besides continuum? It is all the fact that the Continuum.exe doesn't have permissions to write files in the continuum folder... This I have NEVER ran into outside of all the solutions we have given. I will continue to try and find a solution though.

Bug #2 is fixed. Testing it And 1 more time
