SMF Arcade Hacked...

Skhilled · March 16, 2012, 08:15:56 AM

Now it says "Account is suspended"... This is the 4th time, I think, it was hacked. I don't think Christian would be too happy about it. Especially, if his hosting server went down and SMF Arcade or Niko's multi-site mod was at fault...

Last night it said Under construction!

Yeah, it said that earlier yesterday too.

But I've been thinking it probably has come to an end anyways. No updates, Niko has openly said he has lost interest in it...who knows if it will come back or not. The hosting was free but if Niko has to pay for it now, what will happen? I'm not sure if he has the money for it.

Does that arcade stuff take up allot of bandwidth, that maybe why, even pasid service will susspend you if you use too much, take from their other user's?

Nope! Been like a ghost town lately! Also, Christian told me a long time ago that it will always be free even when it was very busy!

Not sure what is going on cause Niko has been MIA a lot even before I stepped down. I guess we will have to wait and see. But I've been suspecting that it was going to close, sooner or later, even before I left.

If it does there will be no more arcade for SMF.

Well I guess with all things considered, it's probably best! I was never much into this type thing, but was thing of those who may have been!

Time will tell...

At least the code is all available on github if anyone wants to fork it and keep it updated

Skhilled · March 16, 2012, 04:31:45 PM

Luckily, that is on a separate server. Still no word from Niko?

fwitt · March 16, 2012, 04:34:52 PM

Not heard from him, never got any reply last time the site was hacked either.

Skhilled · March 16, 2012, 04:58:38 PM

That figures...

I could probably host it, if someone has a backup of the files, and access to the domain for the nameserver?

Skhilled · March 17, 2012, 06:53:33 PM

Looks like it will be back but not sure when:

Ah thats good to hear Steve

Skhilled · March 18, 2012, 01:06:17 PM

Looks like I was wrong, again. LOL

Hopefully, it will be up soon but you can still get the games and arcade in the Downloads here.
