I came here to say, I love Taylor Swift.

Glad to be back. Frig off @Silton

Only to be wiped in a month or two. lol.

I mean if they only send the links to certain people they can gauge by time of clicking who is who. Or look at profiles to maybe find states or something to match up where you may live. Or they just go through the list hitting people off. 

You need those. 

How long did it take? Besides that nothing should really have gotten broken...?

I updated it to give a hint where to look. Lol.

@Civak what create Vehicle local? See my most recent status update...

Wouldn't combine. Just maintain both.

Ares dun wanna sell.

I agree though... all the owners haven't dev'd. Now it's basically just sitting on a cash cow fest. That's why I'm so blown away by the shit.

When the cash stops flowing.

- Imagine someone buying the server for like 1.5k
- Imagine someone then basically giving the server away for $1 to someone.
- Imagine that person grossing almost like 18k in less than 1/2 a year and then selling the server for $2k to someone else for a profit.
- Imagine now sitting on a server not doing shit... and wanting to sell it for a profit.

Now the server is just constantly passing ownership for cash flips... Disgusting.

^ I died.

I assure you all data i posted is 100% factual. Like I said, my source gave me the source of it. All I extracted the data and posted said findings. I'll gladly post all of it. However, I'll probably get perm'd... 

Not making turmoil lmao. Just pointing out what people should really be seeing. Which was/is greed and more than likely unfairness that would come to other developers/designers/admins/mods. As soon as you start paying one person, you should start paying the others IMO.

- Asks for community opinion...
- Gets community opinion...
- Hides post because opinion is not what was desired.

I'll make this clear here I do currently pay the Devs who contributed to the updates alot when the donations gave surpassed the goal and there is enough in the account to cover the next month of operating costs. This how ever is sometimes not every month. There for this is ment to help offset it to make it possible to do so. If you think Im just here for the money then that is not it.

I made this post to see what the community would think if we did any of these not to say that we are definitely going down this road.

If the shit continues I will close this post and do what ever

From the devs I've talked to they've barely gotten anything, if anything... lol.
 

It was altered to be updated every monday due to people being whiney about how people would be able to scrape the pages for data to know who does what types of runs.. and shit. It was instant. We changed it to be every week it'd update. It's not because it's "too much" data or anything like that.

No I didn't see that. I mean do I find it funny... kinda more so just about some of the people involved and the shit show it is. On the flip side, the hacking is obnoxious. I know how much it sucks to deal with as I just had to the other day. It sucks building stuff only to have people constantly tearing it down sort of deal. Also, when people are just too stubborn to do what's right for the server, etc. Especially after having spent 2 years working on it. 

Hand holding or something probably. Idk why not just roll back and let the community have a normal server. Increase the backup frequency and just take it day by day while whatever fix they have is being done... If it were to happen again. Ban the account and rollback to nearest safe backup. Which if the frequency is more wouldn't be that bad...

@Jesse You can't wire transfer war points. There is much more to it than a wire transfer, although you are right. 

Okay so there's prolly no cache to catch hacks on warpoints. Even if there is they can just global set everyone's warpoints using the global variable that holds the value... Either way... It's not much more to it. To do the wiretransfers is like 5 lines of pretty code. To do the warpoint setting the same really... 

Idk why they don't just comment out the offending method.... Which I assume is wiretransfers and was confirmed from talking to someone. Then just rollback... Idk... There's always gonna be exploits and cheats...

I mean... even at being reactive to it.. I restored Asylum back 5.5hours over the course of like 2 hours or less. I don't get why not rollback. Monitor the situation, while working on fixes/solutions. So people can go back to playing as normal, etc...

I would just come from a competitor and be like here have a fix to your issue? Especially when there is posts saying "We have a solution.. blah blah"??? Like what? Fusah knows the issue from our Snapchat conversation last night. Also, no one here told me about the issue, it was actually an Asylum staff member who told me. No one here has reached out to me for help with it? Why should I just walk in to the restaurant that treated me like shit not too long ago and make my own food?

@Google - Correct, I merely found out last night when Asylum had the same issue. Someone from staff there told me Olympus had the same issue and hasn't done anything yet. Then I talked with Fusah and co a tad.

But if you truly care for this community and have a solution for the hacks, why not offer it to the devs.

Because they are aware of what the issue is from what Fusah sent me? Also, since I left the dev team I was contacted twice to help out with big situations like this that occurred and immediately dropped stuff in my own life to help resolve. That's like making your own food at a restaurant when you go simply because you worked there in the past and know how to cook... Also, no one reached out to me. I should just come over whenever I hear news and be like "Oh, let me fix that for you?". No thanks, these are the SOME people who stripped me of several permissions because they lack the capability to logically think out some stuff and are too high on their horse to admit when they need help. 

Oh also, I don't have some magical fix for the hacks... there will always be hacks. It's just called prevention. Something I always strived to work on and keep up to date with. I was proactive. It seems lately around here it's reactive.

better off coming back as a dev and getting paid hella bread from @Hadi Mokdad

I'll pass. I'd rather own/dev it. Would accelerate things better and get the things I want to see happen be expedited. As far as allocation for resources of different software to improve things. To me it's seemed that all owners except than Dili have just been in the role for financial gains or the title. Which in my personal opinion the server did the best/most when Dili & I were handling stuff...
