2.1 and the frustration

[Matt Murdock]

Many topics (or ways of referring to something) that may be funny in smaller social circles and amongst friends who share common interests are not going to be seen the same way universally. Because "me and my friends say it's okay" doesn't mean the world says it is. Interpretations vary so, so much... often not due to any fault by an individual... best rule of thumb is to just avoid those things and keep it strictly within close friendship groups, if that. : )

If referring to me, I thought entire Argonath is full of friends, and there're no enemies, neither strangers, we are all friends.

Come on, we come here to be a kid, enjoy ourselves, we're all friends. Then why divide ourselves into small groups when Argonath in itself is like a big family?

Friends fight, friends argue, but they still stay friends. Wrong is that some people don't understand that and take it seriously.

But today, yes, I have been proven wrong, its too late, and we already are divided into tiny little groups, living in our own world, inside the world of its own.

I wish Gandalf could return since i pretty much can't wait for 2.1 and the fresh new start off (yes everything will be gone).

He will be back pretty soon. His extended absence is almost over. Klaus, aXXo, and Stormeus can still contact Sauron, however.

Lets grab his attention.
Now where is that fuckin' ring?

I think Golem stole it again. :P

Actually, no, VCMP is not getting attacked. The whole Argo is. When, for example, SA:MP gets attacked, the whole Argonath RPG in general starts to malfunction. However, while SA:MP server might be still up during the attack, VC:MP shuts down immediatly, because it's much more vurnerable to DDoS than rest of the servers

Blame Stormeus and VCMP developers for this!

Please, talk of such matters only if you know what you talk about. VCMP server most likely gets attacked more than SAMP does, but the effect doesn't go further than VCMP itself for the simple reason of it crashing way too fast. Every server goes down when SAMP gets ddos'd, because it needs alot more bots to actually take down.

Also Stormeus did not script the 1.95d, he fixed what could be fixed.

[brian1996]

Blame aXXo.

He's actually right. The DDoS'es against Argo lately have been most of what has been knocking VC:MP out. The difference is that when SA:MP gets attacked, the executable doesn't lock up, so it can often begin hosting again after an attack is over, whereas the VC:MP server, being a bystander in the attack, locks up and crashes, which leads to it being down much longer than SA:MP. There are often attacks to SA:MP during hours where no one is on VC:MP to see this, so it appears like a "hacker" attacked VC:MP directly.

I'm not saying people don't directly attack VC:MP more, but the quoted user is also correct that many of the outages in the last few months have been related to SA:MP attacks, since both mod servers are hosted on the same machine.

I corrected his words due to these 2 points;

Actually, no, VCMP is not getting attacked.

It is not the fault of Stormeus nor VCMP Developers if people exploit a weakness within the code or just directly DDoS a server. And trust me, I know when SAMP or VCMP gets attacked due to the result it provides

[SugarD]

That I do agree with.

[Huntsman]

"Blame Stormeus" was just sarcasm

[Klaus]

I promise to get this sorted ASAP. I know we've all waited way too long for this.
