Argonath RPG - A World of its own

Due to a friendly supporter of Argonath we have lost about one week of posts.
However as usual that does not accomplish a lot, except for many of our players wishing to see the guy being handled as in the movie he posted. As he may like that, we better try other ways.
During the next day we will restore the several features, so do not worry.
PS: No there were no passwords leaked. The kid did not have the IQ.
-
And Argonath lives on yet again despite the raging children.
-
:lol: Down for 24 hours...
Thanks for fixing it so quickly - Great job :)
-
I wonder when these attacks will stop ...
-
Good Job, thanks for fixing it :)
-
Kids will be kids.. :lol:
-
Good job fixing the site so quickly Gandalf.
-

Never. There will always be somebody mad because they got banned.
-
I took this picture before that guy hacked the forums..Some new post i think

Yes, you lot better get reposting. :devroll:
-
Oh noes, I lost my posts :cry:
Good work for bringing the forum up again.
-
So, the rest of the posts won't be restored? I hope I didn't lose something important such as court cases. :x
-
What about PMs?
Nevermind, deleted PMs popped up back in my inbox from a week ago, so I guess I'll have to resend some PMs
-
If it is not here it has not been backed up.

Same goes for everything :neutral:
-
Unban request section is pretty empty :lol:
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MY POSTS :devroll:
In all seriousness, not much of a loss here just gonna take a moment or two to get everything sorted that may be a bit outdated. Great work on the speedy recovery :)
-
I appreciate the whole thing but I would like to remind something to the webmasters. When you search for Argonath RPG in google, you still see 'hacker skelet0r' his message. Just trying to help.

Nothing that can be done about that. Google has to re-index the page. If Gandalf wants to speed it up, he can log into his Google Webmaster Tools account and have an indexing re-done on the site, but it'll still take some time.

No problem, and don't be sorry. You're just trying to help, and that's a good thing. :)

Kids :roll:
Apprently, I'm an Orc. At least it's not calling me a troll :lol:
-
Shame. Gandalf, need some combat shotgun to take him down ?!

Gandalf is badass enough on his own to kill off all the hackers. ;)
-
It's great to see that we survived the attack as always.
And the loss of several things is not so bad for me, as we all can be happy that everything returned peacefully
-
Pricks like this one who're trying to keep their exploit in shape never intend to give up until they reach their deadline. There is no such thing called success for their attempts.
Nevertheless, good to see that we have early backups and a powerful team.
-
Kids will be kids.. :lol:
No they wont :p
But former children make new children ...
-
Hope its fixed. :pop:
-
How long will it take for the old theme to be re-added? Also, is it just me that can't edit their profile?
-
I cannot even access the summary of anyone's profile, so no it's not only you.
-
So apparently moderator applicationsa be gone as well.

Haha :)
And btw good job fixing the forum :)
-
They failed once again :lol:
good job fixing it fast
-
There is currently 2 problems with the forum which i know of.
1. I can't view other members profile, only getting a completly white page.
2. I can't change password, dont got access to the "account" tab in my profile.
-
I confirm the issue Zaila is experiencing.
Puny little hacker has failed, miserably.
-
Yet you should cheer him up with his attempt..
-
It appears that nearly all profile-related settings are broken right now. Hang in there guys. Gandalf will likely have it fixed soon.
-
Came to say the same thing.
Got the mofo sheep out the mofo barn onto the mofo computers to mofo fix this mofo mess
-
Too bad people have nothing better to do than having the want to destroy others' work. :)

Why did you even think to screenshot that just before the forums got hacked? :trust:
Whats your secret? SPILL THE BEANS.
-
Were back :hurray:
..I think
-
The Twitter icon is still missing.

It's funny how people keeps (trying) to attack this community, even when they know the whole HQ have several years knowledge
about different attacks. Long live Argonath.

It's only a matter of time before irreversible damage is done.

Such as? What is your definition of irreversible damage?
Wipe the server -> Restore from backup
Wipe the server including OS -> Reinstall OS image and restore from backup
DDoS -> Mitigate and wait for it to lay down, the attackers resources are not infinite
Stealing passwords -> Reset all user passwords and create a stronger hashing+salt algorithm
Also note that the network is being monitored by not only HQ but also the network provider to the servers.

Is that supposed to be a threat?

Creating backups doesn't give back what was lost just before the attack, it only gives back what was destroyed when the backup was made.. :poke:

No shit sherlock. Don't change subjects, we were talking about your permanent damage. What was that, exactly?

Cool it cowboy. This is a discussion, not a text-based version of Call Of Duty: Black Ops.

Black Ops was disgusting.. :redface:

I didn't change the subject, I replied to something you said that I quoted... Or did you not know what you posted?
-
Get back to the topic and quit arguing boys. We don't need any more fights here.
-
.Most of the time something stays at the host itself in case something goes REALLY wrong,.
-
Black Ops was disgusting.. :redface:
I liked the dive
-
You guys are like ''WTF Who would attack us!?'' and you banned like whole world + you don't reply on ban appeals daily.. you reply like once in month. And then you wonder who wouldn't be mad and attacking you.
What should they do, unban hackers because otherwise they would hack the forum? They don't deserve to play Argonath RPG.
-
C bugging anywhere is bannable so your argument is pointless.
The routeblock affected innocent people, but everyone has been given instructions to get unbanned, yet they seem to not bother and instead complain.
-
Then they could always ask their parents to do it, simple.
-
Hackers = Stay banned
Other small rulebreak = Second chance
My friend was just c bugging in middle of desert and he didnt shoot anyone! and he got permanetly banned for it.. + range banned -,-
If he ban evaded, that is why he got range-banned. We won't give people second chances if they aren't willing to follow the rules and learn from their mistakes.
