Yes, we were down. No, DU didn't text me about it as he should have so I could have fixed this way earlier. Yes, I know roughly what the culprit was and am investigating now. Moving on...

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In
We need to use emotional blackmail, guys.

Taluntain and DarkUnderlord, if this place ever shuts down, I swear to God I'm going to kill myself.

They don't know I don't believe in god.

Was it hacked? Are our credit card details still safe??
No and your card details are not even saved on the server AFAIK.
This is true. We only keep shoe size and waist diameter.

Also, the temptation to have an FBI take-down notice as the first thing that appeared when the site was back online was very tempting.

Also I think the last time I texted you was prior to my google account being setup, so your number is probably lost on an old phone.

Despite the irony behind this post, automatically assume it is part true since admin lives in Australia. So he probably already shared our data with CCP and FBI.

The downside of Tal running the Watch now is that we can't even use that as a place of refuge when the Codex is down. :negative:

Serious question, whatever happens to this site if one of DU/Taluntain dies suddenly?
If I die, the codex keeps ticking along and Taluntain finds another code guy (assuming Twiglard is also dead / unavailable).

If Taluntain dies, I take the last available backup, register a new URL, and rent a server.

If DU dies, nothing much. If I die, probably nothing for a while. Let's just hope I don't croak overnight and can pull off a smooth transfer to DU or whoever's alive at that point!
