Even the forums spit it out.

Well Grognards and hosted support forums work as well.  Everything else is toast. 

TBP internals are working too.  Maybe it's any forum that didn't have a post while the pirate script was active.

I'm in the lobby waiting to play some multi.

Just tried the announcement thread which has no new posts today and it doesn't work either.  Highlights does though.  Tested the theory that sub forums were working but that's not the case either.  Recent builds crashes.

Internals are exempt from the script. It's anything that has the script period.

The pirate text script vomited? A MySQL problem, perhaps.

Chances are the forum itself is fine, it's just the script layered over it that got fubared.

Will say this though, you see a lot less problems since Hard Light changed servers.

Strange the who's online thing shows people reading topics in some of the effected forums.  I just tired one of the topics they were reading and and couldn't access it. 

Yahoo spidies don't seem to have a problem.

It seems like this and only the restricted-access boards are working. 158th and TAP internals work fine, Grognards are fine, hosted support is fine. Did the talk like pirate scripts apply in those places?

Just has one of those evil thoughts.  Since there is an interview forum the first interviewee should be the one who caused this.   :pimp:

Yeah, I'd kind of like to read whether or not anyone else had major issues with the mission of Blue Planet that's currently destroying me (and it's the second to do so...*sigh*).

I move that we continue all inaccessible discussions on this board until this situation is resolved. :nervous:

Uh huh. Anyways--it's probably since this forum was exempt from the script entirely? IDK really... but it seems that this is the only topic being posted in.

Can you all see this topic?

If you can, I have verified that all threads affected by the Pirate script are now unusable.

Grah.  *stabs randomly at the admins*

Somebody tried to edit the pirate filter, and instead broke it. :blah:  This meant all forums which had the filter active (namely, most of the public forums) were inaccessible.

I wish I had known about this earlier.  More than that, I wish the culprit had stuck around long enough be sure that his changes worked...

How do you know they weren't trying to break it?

Post by: Goober5000 on September 20, 2008, 06:38:41 pm
I don't think any of the admins are that malicious.  They may have wanted to change it slightly, or they may have wanted to modify it, but I doubt any of them wanted to break the forum.

And it's quite possible that it wasn't even one of the admins, that it was simply a bug.  None of the functionality was actually changed; the only thing that happened is a few asterisks were added.  This caused an error with the regexp parser.

An0n, for a day, made people think he was an admin. Then, in a freakish accident, he became an admin. Yeahhhhhh--I hear it was bad. Very, very, bad.

Bit late of a reply, but I meant that they wanted to break the filter, not the forum.
