AC-Web Downtime.

[Jargs]

Hello Everyone.

It's been a very long couple of days. Unfortunately, AC-Web was compromised by a malicious hacker. There has been some data loss from the site as this is the most recent backup I had. The hacker did download our database, and although all of our accounts are MD5 hash protected, I would strongly advise all of the members to change their passwords.

Just in case you didn't see that:

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Also, If you paid for a VIP subscription before we went down and you are no longer a VIP member, contact me on MSN: jargs@ac-web.org

In better news, AC-Web has moved to a new host and therefore the site should be a lot faster than it was before.

Much apologies for all this inconvenience.
Cheers
Jargs

[vvv]

atleast ac-web is back on.

[splicho]

Huge Rollback, but what ever. Big Thanks to you ! You worked so hard to get it restored :P ! Ac-web forever!

Nice work Jargs. I love the dedication you have shown in the past few weeks. :)

[kerp]

It's nice with the new host, I'm feeling the difference already :P
Great job.

[newmoon]

nice

[Faded]

I'm not sure retaliation is the way to go from what I see on some of you user posts. I'd just let it go now because we don't want things repeated on either side

[DoPeT]

Nice work Jargs. I love the dedication you have shown in the past few weeks. :)

- Neglected.

Yeah, if only he had been showing it for the past months, this would never happened..

[vvv]

Says Moderator of DN?

[Dabboo]

DN has a fugly logo. O_O

[Darkrulerz]

-Removed the reply because the quoted post was removed-

[StealthPoet]

I don't understand all the politics

the website wars boring

1. everybody is welcome

2. nuke hackers

3. be friends

ask questions later

edit: 4. do not ban mods from other
sites because the opportunity is
not available

5. most mods and staff from other
sites will not interfere

6. 4,5 subject to no#2 if sufficient
evidence is acquired for ban

acweb <3

[PrometheusWow]

hey jargs i am also missing about 7 rep points :( is there anyway you could get them back for me???

[kingofwc]

It was Nick from http://************s.com, he even said it. Fucker

[Golferpro22]

Glad things are back online. :)

[treetree]

and next week it will be
Santa and his elves
insufficient data

I do not condone hacking
things happen

thats why you can become a
backup master,host master
and fix it or transfer it

A good Interesting staff position and fun :)

Hey, I lost ALL of my posts :O

I didn't loose anything. Just a simple 80 or 90 rep.. but I could careless about rep.

[pingue]

Nice work Jargs. I love the dedication you have shown in the past few weeks. :)

- Neglected.

I agree!

But daamn, I lost 46 rep points :-(

[bishop934]

Congratulations on getting it back! And glad were on a new host! Super Glad ac-web is back. :D

[reflexiz]

Lol. I missed ac-web the days it was gone. So thank you like 100000 times for getting it back up. You're the best :)

[kerp]

You really shouldn't care so much about your rep

[Unlimited]

Thank you,

It's as if an infraction never happened!
Oh wait.

[Dabboo]

Unlimited, you should get infractions for every post that you made which weren't about private servers, only your miserable life in russia, oh wait, 1094 of those posts WEREN'T about private servers...

[kerp]

You really shouldn't use that as an argument since you have made tons of posts about K-ON, Bleach and other stuff which concerns only you and your life.

[j-a-c-o-b]

Proper glad ac-web is back :)

only lost 15 rep :)

~j-a-c-o-b

[Dabboo]

Oh Kerp, i am sorry for waiting for a usefull ArcEmu core, i am terribly sorry i have a fricking hard life and a hard depression...

[Furine]

Oh Kerp, i am sorry for waiting for a usefull ArcEmu core, i am terribly sorry i have a fricking hard life and a hard depression...

Visit a psychologist.

[StealthPoet]

get some professional help
before you drive everybody
nuts with your incessant
whining,,

[Dabboo]

No thanks Furine, K-ON! is the rescue. :)

[Blyitgen]

haha i only losed 1 rep xD
i dont care. i got 1200 anyways xD

[Dabboo]

And we all know where they come from...

[spearjack]

Any chance you could tell us how the hacker got in.
i'd really like to try some whitehat but i'd ask for your permission.

[expo]

And we all know where they come from...

Obviously more legitimate ways than yours.

[henna9]

oh lolz i was on vacation , so i didnt notice it was down .. lucky me

[Dabboo]

Expo, do you know that i have been asking Jargs three times to reset it...?

[Moltn]

Pretty wings! Look, dabboo's only 4 posts away from 3k.

Grats on all the spam :D

[Blyitgen]

Dabboo...
i dont care about rep...
unlike you...
i think you only want to EARN rep by saying that you want Jargs to reset your rep.

[expo]

Expo, do you know that i have been asking Jargs three times to reset it...?

1st, you should have already understood that Jargs doesn't really pay attention to anything you say. And I highly doubt you have sent a PM to him saying that you gained rep in a prohibited and illegitimate manner. You just say in threads that you asked him. He doesn't really read the forums.

I think you are lying. It wouldn't be the first time. Nor will it be the last.

[Furine]

Dabboo...
i dont care about rep...
unlike you...
i think you only want to EARN rep by saying that you want Jargs to reset your rep.

I remember the days you begged for us to rep you.
Is about a year ago now though. :p

[Brianplast]

Wtf happend to my donater rank?O.o

[expo]

I remember the days you begged for us to rep you.
Is about a year ago now though. :p

That means you have been here way too long.

[PrometheusWow]

i have just counted up my rep. i am still missing about 7 rep points. i got about 4from this lua script i posted. and i think it was around 5-7 rep points on another thing i released please give me these rep points back i really need them:)

bad math lol (4+7=11rep points)

[Ferguson]

^ Thats nothing lol..

[Furine]

That means you have been here way too long.

Yet I've made roughly half the posts you have.

[killer7000]

i wonder how they did it.

lol no-offense, but i did not care if they came back or not.
gl anyways.

[expo]

Yet I've made roughly half the posts you have.

Post count really doesn't matter. If I have posted more about helping people, your argument is invalid.

[QQrofl]

I wish people would leave Ac-Web alone.

[Furine]

Post count really doesn't matter. If I have posted more about helping people, your argument is invalid.

I'm just pointing out that you've probably spent more time on these forums than I really have.

[xanton11]

Hey, I don't have MSN so how can I get my VIP status back?

[vvv]

Hey, I don't have MSN so how can I get my VIP status back?


get msn.

[xanton11]

I did and when I tried to add Jargs it said "This users does not have msn... Ect."

[expo]

I'm just pointing out that you've probably spent more time on these forums than I really have.

If you spend 2 hours a day here and make 1 post, you still spend 2 hours here.
If I spend 1 hour a day here and make 10 posts, I have only spent 1 hour here.

Post count is just the amount of posts. You don't have to be here longer to make them. And its very possible that you have spent more time here than me because you were a registered member back in 2008.

I'm not saying who has spent more time than another because there is no current record of such.

[ZXD]

Good to see it back on

[jtntime09]

Nice Jargs!

[aisismortal]

Thanks for all your hard work Jargs, really appreciate what you do around here.

On another note, I hope the hacker lives on a very high precipice in which a gust of wind might toss him over. Just a hope :D

[Terrum]

Damn hackers.

[xanton11]

So... What do I do about this MSN thing?

[skreem]

Unlimited, you should get infractions for every post that you made which weren't about private servers, only your miserable life in russia, oh wait, 1094 of those posts WEREN'T about private servers...

I don't mean to side anyone here, but this post isn't about private servers.

[Phenom.GW]

Unlimited, you should get infractions for every post that you made which weren't about private servers, only your miserable life in russia, oh wait, 1094 of those posts WEREN'T about private servers...

Dont forget you post a lot of crap aswell, that has not just nothing to do with private servers, but nothing to do with Acweb or the WoW Emulation scene at all.

If he gets infracted for it, then you should aswell :)

[Auxilium]

The downtime wasn't the end of the world, but the way that you brought Ac-Web back on its feeds, shows your dedication on this forum, good job Jargs.
