  1. Hello Community,

    Since we got members reporting they get spyware/trojans/virus alerts on our website I want to state that I can find nothing suspicious myself.

    First of all I want these users to clean their cache as it might be possible that they still have the old version of the site (which was actually hacked). If you need help cleaning your cache please comment bellow.

    Secondly, please tell me what antivirus you have, where you get the alert (Forum, subforum, topic,...)

    Read more for our checksAnd here my checks:

    The only one I got a warning was Commodo but that was just a warning

    I'm currently downloading the website to take a closer look

    Regards,

  2. How to unlock a skin in LA Modification?

    - First of all determine the file you need to modify (.dds)

    - Now rename the "filename.dds" to "filename.v3o"

    - Open the editor"and select unpack

    - Search for your "filename.v3o and unpack it

    - Go back to the directory where your "filename.v3o" is located and rename "filename.v3o" to "filename.dds"

    That's it now you can open the .dds file!

  3. Dear community,

    In all that maintenance work of the past week we forgot to announce something. Even though we are on the late side we feel we should not let this event go by without any word.

    5 days ago, on 14th of November, the site had its birthday. Now exactly 5days and 7 years ago Emergency-planet opened its doors for the first time. We had up and downs and yet we are still here.

    Happy 7th Birthday Emergency-Planet!

    At this point we would like to thank our visitors and members for their great support in those 7greath years and let's all go on to another 7greath years! THANK YOU!

    And now, being the Webmaster I would like to thank some other persons for their great work. A big thank you to the moderators for the work they have done in all this time. Another big thank you goes to Dakota for migrating the old main site with the forum.

    [READ MORE FOR MORE NEWS]Along with this I want to explain what we are doing to slow down the spam.

    First of all our spam monitor license has been reactivated. This monitor compare each registration to a database and denies or lets the registration go through depending on the warnings it receives from the database.

    Then, we use captcha and a security question on registration. Certain domains have been blocked from registration as those are known as being 90% spammers.

    Here a short example on how the registration and first time use would work from next week:

    - You arrive on this site as visitor

    - You start your registration

    - You enter the captcha code and human test

    - You register as a member to the site

    - Your registration is checked with the spam monitor and is given an ok

    - You now validate your account by mail

    - You are now placed in the membergroup "Newbees"

    - You make your first post

    - Your post is validated by a moderator or admin

    - You get moved to the group "members" automaticly

    Basically the "Newbee" group is under total control of the staff and therefore we should be able to top the spam before you members read it.

    There's just one BUT in this whole story...The Website support forum will stay open for guest posts as this is the only place where members that have account issues can report them without the need for making a new account.

    IDEAS? SUGGESTIONS? COMMENT!

  4. @Cops, nope :) No data has been lost. The reinstall of the forum is planned for tomorrow morning CET and no data will be lost at that point. We are currently making new backups and changing all passwords to make sure everything will be fine.

    @Other, in the 7 years we have been attacked 6 times :(

  5. Hello community,

    As some might have noticed we had some layout issues with the site between midnight and 07:00 AM CET. After two hours of work the trash has been cleaned, we are secured again and we are back for normal operations.

    If you find strange things on the forum, broken things or not loading pages please feel free to report bellow this post.

    For more information, please read the full storyWhat happened?

    Between midnight and 00:47CET files that where uploaded between 26 of October have been executed to make an Sql injection in our database to addition URL's to our Forum Categories.

    What are the consequences?

    For you as user, nothing, beside the downtime :) For us this means we are going to work on security. One of those additions will be that file execution will be blocked and that we will make hourly backups of our forum which we will keep for 14 days. In short this means that we will keep 336 backups before we will begin to overwrite backup nr. 1

    If you find strange things on the forum, broken things or not loading pages please feel free to report bellow this post.

    Kind regards,

    The staff

    UPDATE: 17:23 CET, we are back online but preparing a fresh install of our forum to be sure all issues have been resolved.

  6. Would you mind being clear in what exactly is your issue? All i got is that your game seems to crash after 5 minutes.

    What is your other problem?

    Now some things:

    - Posting once is enough

    - Post bumping is not allowed

    - Posting twice in a row should be avoided, use the edit function instead

    - Using bold or caps should be avoided, we all can actually read
