Chaotic Dreams

Oh hey, only now seen this!

Thanks, and yeah, it was a great vacation (back now, came back 2 weeks ago, on 15th) =D

Hey there! Some of you may have noticed not getting any emails from this board -- either for activation, password reminders, etc... After some work, I've managed to resolve the issue. It was a bug in PhpBB, apparently to do with SMTP email sending - I had to enable that and then disable it again for...

Well, moving to a new, better datacenter is usually considered A Good Thing (TM)

Hey there - I know it might seem rather odd to be announcing downtime in light of recent events (server move, attacks, etc...), but my host has just informed me that they are going to move some (all?) servers from one of their datacenters to another. The downtime is estimated to be from 21:30 UTC on...

Still no breakins. I think it's safe to say that the problem has been defeated, at least for now :) As for the logo, RFlagg tried to modify an old image to remove the white background so that it's transparent, but he didn't succeed (primarily because the file was a jpeg - low quality at that - and t...

It's definitely real, I even know exactly which files were changed in the attacks and how often (3 times a day, and I'd rather not say which files due to security reasons). What matters though is that the problems appear to have been fixed - there's not been an attack in a day and a half. I'd also r...

I know, I've been fighting this crap for days... Still can't find the source of the problem, but it's still limited to just this one user...

Well, for those keeping track of this topic, see http://forums.chaoticdreams.org/viewtop ... f=1&t=6510

I'll close this now - best to continue discussion over there.

Well, the problem seems to have returned, despite the update - I'm looking at logs and doing different stuff to try and stop this from happening. I'll get to the bottom of this come hell or high water! Fortunately, the problem is limited only to Chaos and didn't infect the rest of the system, meanin...

Well, as you've probably noticed, the forums have been updated. It had to be done due to security issues (for starters - but mostly because of that). From what I can see, the update went fine. There might be some subtle errors here and there - if you spot them, let me know. I've also tracked down th...

Hey there - I'm looking into this, it might be leftovers from the hack that happened on my old host (it happened a few days before the move). It's also very possible that this is a security hole in this ancient forum system... I'll be trying the upgrade soon again anyways, but this time I'll make su...

Okay, the move is mostly complete now - I have moved the Chaos website, forums, etc... to the new server. I still have 1-3 websites to fully move, however, and the Chaos website and forums might experience some more downtime (mostly in the form of connection refused or 500 Internal Server Error) as ...

Well, I don't generally throw these things around, but since you asked and since they want WAY above and beyond call of duty to annoy me -- it's HostDime. I had a reseller account there, but as I said, I am now moving to a dedicated server. One of the things that I didn't mention (mostly due to rele...

Hey there folks... You may have noticed that everything posted since 2011/12/20 has been lost, and thus are wondering what the hell happened. Well, let me tell you what happened and why the Chaotic Dreams website will be moving to a new host soon. First things first, who am I - I am the person who c...

Thanks for reminding me about that, I've completely forgotten! I'll have to look into that and try to fix things up.
