You've already destroyed it once, taken your revenge, now there remains nothing unfair about the new boards. Drolpiraat and pok2 were both unbanned, members are doing fine with each other, and since I last checked, I didn't see a banned member there that was unfairly banned. It's administration has greatly improved also, and even more active administrators. It has improved very much since all of you at ARZO were banned. You've done your revenge, now I find no good reason for this to be hacked.

It's down the whole day already. And I think it's just Groupee, altrough Groupee's main site is still working this time.

This seems very strange... I thought ARZO wanted to talk before they did anything...

Hmm, I'm just not sure. It could be ARZO. But Groupee hasn't 100% server uptime either. Just wait for ARZO's reaction I guess..

The Great Guru has not contacted us for a few days, he must be very busy.
We have just tested a hacking method on the new RZ and it seems to work fine. Even if this is different from our main scheme, this may make RZ members think about it.

Thanks for the confirmation, Blackorb. Now we atleast know the reason of the downtime, but you know, me and Ubisoft wouldn't be happy with this.. Does the admin already know about the hack?

I already e-mailed the administrators the moment the site went down.

And this really isn't the first time this has happened either... server downtime, I mean.

*edit*

Less than a day, and it's back. Not bad at all.

Yeah, I see. I'm happy to see that this all was a database server problem only, probably..

...which could only mean that ARZO were in fact lying about finding a loophole in Groupee.

If it was a downtime, that is.

I'm beginning to doubt that, though... RaymanZone is acting a little borked. :|

It's good to see the Ubi boards do have good backup, I guess.

Well... it does look like the forum database was deleted, and backed up several hours later.

Do you want to discuss peace or not, ARZO? You now know who will join the conversation. What are you waiting for? Just set a time, a manner and a place.

An open chat on the old chat.ubi.fr line, perhaps?

IPB 1.3 sucks, but the 2nd version is okay... MyBB is alright too, and it's entirely free. Invisionfree is updating their boards to their own system soon too. O_o;

The last version of Invision power board is nice, and UbiSoft has enought money to buy it. It would be better than their fora, and they could improve it like they want.

On the other hand with their current system, they don't even worry about the servers, and thus save money by not hiring an extra server management team.

I do not trust UbiSoft at all, for I remember everytime they had lied on the former RZ... So, even if none of us can prove that ARZO has really done this, I think this is true, for as they said, it was just a test and nothing was deleted.
But I wonder why they have done this, since their scheme is not to hack it this way, because Ubi would just have to backup the database :|

Ubi are trustworthy when it comes to their very complex forums, I think.
