Re: Forum and Website Update necessary - suggestions ?

information for new forum - users: your very first post will show up with a little delay after manual administrator approval.
i will do that and check the forum on a daily basis.
this minor annoyance sadly is necessary to avoid any further spamming of the forum by those annoying spambots.

Re: Little introduction & some questions

hey subsense, if you had the feeling that you could predict the next block in the classic blockout then they might have used a special random number generator ? does anyone knows about this ? would be an interesting gameplay element to let "hardcore" gamers "see the matrix" ;-) r...

Re: Forum and Website Update necessary - suggestions ?

after quite some struggeling, i managed to convert the old and outdated fireboard to the widely used phpBB. This will in the future hopefully enable a long lived forum with frequent security updates and little to no spamming.

Re:Score Upload Error

fixed! should work again - was just an issue of no more diskspace.
though that means that in some time soon, there must be some sort of pruning to remove some of the very low scores to save some space.

Re:impersonation going on high-scores

sorry, people, i have no time currently, i will try to fix stuff on the weekend.

@scblockout: i have it on my todo list, a simple script that will deliver you all scores in readonly mode, probably encoded into xml. maybe i will start on the weekend, too. it should not be too hard.

Re:impersonation going on high-scores

amit,
please tell me wich highscores are not from you (specify the date, for example 07-Nov-2009 12:42:16) and i will delete them from the database.
the registered highscore feature is planned, but we have to wait for jean luc to implement it.
