Did I miss something? was the site down?
-
It appeared that way. I couldn't access it for about two days.
-
yeah it was down, at least for me.
-
finally back after the hack and shutdown, it seems. Would have been nice to have had some communication about what was going on, but for now I'm just glad it is back.
-
I have the feeling they restored from a back-up, as the last posts are not there. The last post I noticed in a PbP game I'm in is from May 28th and I'm sure I posted after that date (I have rolls on the dice roller site from the 29th). But at least it's back and we have access to our characters again.
-
Probably a weekly backup.
-
Yay It's Back!!

Yeah... a mention on their Twitter, tumblr, Facebook, blog, website, or anything would have been nice.
The developer communication black-out is getting a little unnerving.

I call it damn lucky, that there is a back up at all.
Got to do the same an finally pull some of my characters to offline storage...

Developer communications are scheduled for after the Technomancer book.

Shadowrun Rule #1 No communication or point of contact with fans.
This seems to include when products are released as well. Ripping Reality dropped and if hadn't been on Drive Thru for something else wouldn't have caught it.

My bad, I left Kane in charge for one minute while I had to rescue some newb's hoop from Renraku Red Samurai. Next thing I know, site's blown to bits, no one can get a hold of Bull, and I'm receiving spam from 1999 about something called a Blair Witch? Anyway, it was hard to get a hold of everyone since the contact info we have for you was in the quarantine, and not sure how to make a public SocMed post about a tenth-grader hacking the board's code without it sounding like we're inviting others to try.
But we're back, baby!

Dammit. Glitch was on "vacation" somewhere in the South China seas, I was dealing with an unexpected issue involving a certain clown-faced asshole, and we left Slamm-0! in charge and he... Umm... Was at a ball game? What kind of excuse is that, Fred?? Ghost help me, teach me to go take some personal time...

This is why you never trust 'Runners, when the shit hits the fan and they're caught with their pants down, it's all excuses and finger pointing.
-
It's back and as fast and responsive as ever... [/sarcasm]

You mean like with politicians. :)

Shadowrun Rule #1 No communication or point of contact with fans.
I'd say it all boils down to CGL business rule #0: Thou shalt not change stuff after it has been published :D
Putting news on a website means changing that site after it has initially been published, nope
Patching your server would be even worse, since the changes would be made in order to correct errors. No way.

Ball game? Nice, believable, cover. More likely Sprout-0! spilled something in a place where a cascade failure was guaranteed.
Y'know, right under the bright sign that says "No food or drink within 5 metres!"

Nice to see it back up. Though I still wish it was a little faster. I'm not so sentimental about the 80's that I enjoy dial up modem page loading speeds.

Here's what the hack looked like. They had some midi music playing, but it wasn't saved.

Some people have nothing better to do than annoy others.
