yes, i should move to another provider. thats a todo for later this year. my current provider deliberately deactivates features that makes it easy (like letsencrypt or the comfotable way via cpanel). no wonder: my provider was aquired by godaddy - and they sell expensive certificates :-( hence i hav...

Argh. The certificate expired once again. Longer lasting commercial certificates are very expensive. I just need to regularily renew the certificate. Please - dont hesitate to sent me an email to let me know of any issues with the website / score uploads / fake scores. That way i can fix the problem...

Finally found the time to renew the certificate (without beeing ripped off by my provider). Did the manual, DNS TXT record based method.
Still, i want to change the hosting provider, because it seems to be quite slow and unreliable loading the highscore pages.

Ok, i trust in your observations and deleted Gondrans scores. If Gondran has the courage to contact me and explain the cause, then he can upload again and i will check the replays carefully myself. Sorry for checking in only occasionally. Life is busy with job etc. but there will be a time where i c...

done.

Please note that - for now - i completely disabled registration. Say thank you to spammers that made my email-adress blacklisted because of registration attempts with fake email-adresses and whatnot.

If you want an account, please simply send me a short email to post [at] andre-krause.net .

hey ilw2, thanks for your feedback. good ideas about configuring phpbb as you suggest, blocking first posts containing links..

i just updated the forum and hope to find some time to ease the login-process.

quick update: i got the server code from jean-luc. so i might be able to fix the advanced score section. regarding the full code: this is a open-source part (the game itself) and a closed source part (for online-highscore lists). that closed source part is closed for a good reason: to reduce cheatin...

thanks alot for posting. i hope to fix it on the weekend. i just figured out / realized that the advanced stats are implemented through a cgi binary and that i do not have the source code for that. the source code is with the original developer of blockout II, jean-luc. i will ask him via email, bu...

thanks alot for posting. i hope to fix it on the weekend.

ok, thats interesting. i used the fake-score detection script - and that found alot of fakescores from gondran. so he seems to have found a method to bypass fake-score detection. well - then i need to take a deeper look. thanks for reporting ! -- i deleted all scores by gondran. i dont have time for...

thanks for reporting ! Gondran is now ... gone !

thanks for the notification and sorry for the delay in response - i should have a look at the forum more often.

i have deleted the fake scores.

pleas post new fake scores here, then i will be notified via email and will react much quicker.

the problem is: i am not the developer of blockoutII, i just provide the webspace. the main developer is Jean-Luc. Not sure if he has time currently to work on blockout II. the server side code needs work, too. maybe it's a problem with the limited script runtime on the server. maybe i should upgrad...

Bomblik did a fantastic port of Blockout II to the playstation portable. grab it while its hot: https://github.com/bomblik/BlockOut_II_PSP Bomblik says: > PSP is a good platform for that kind of game as it provides hardware > buttons, which in my opinion are essential for sensible gameplay.
