Will the royalty checks be retroactive to the date of the mods release? 

Yes, we just need to retroactively find everyone who ever downloaded something, shit in their hat and steal their car. 

and then send 25% of the hats to the mappers 

 

Gold! 

Special offers have been cancelled, I can happily announce that I made 0� by selling out and that's the way it should be.

Any experienced designer interested in working with me for a Wordpress relaunch of Quaddicted? The maps part is external but I fancy changing the rest for the umptinths time. Some nice flexbox stuff with a classic game portal look. I want to get back into blogging, that drove motivation so well. 

Depends on what level of skill you're looking for. I do have some degree of experience using Wordpress for TAW when I made the transfer around mid-2006 and have been using it since. Though I've honestly only put together designs and features suited to the site needs. Rarely worked on stuff outside of TAW besides some localhost test site ideas and an unfinished request (due to a lack of communication).

In regards to using Wordpress, it's a common target for high volume spam and brute-force logins these days so you might want to conjure up some wizardry to prevent that asap. I've been considering some ideas but whether they work is another matter. 

Oops, I know my way around WP. I am mostly looking for someone who wants to design the layout and style, I should have said that. :) Something with nice 960 px width (if that's still the golden standard), maybe two sidebars, support for some plugins I want to use, non-responsive design. Could be based on an existing style of course, I would even think about buying a professional theme as base if it is a one time purchase and reasonable.

I could just go back to https://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/www.quaddicted.com/ but ugh! 

Something I want to point out.

For almost any map in the database, there is a screenshot.

Unlike any of the other ones, the picture for Func_MapJam5 has letters on it.

/I know how much work maintaining something is. 

Not a fan of composite screenshots myself. 

Webquake was featured on Hacker News and you wouldn't believe what happened next: https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=319&CZG_pants=down#I%20LOLLED%20at%20Number%2016 

 

 

Nike shop opens at 9!! 

always amazed when the server comes back and the sites reappear 

 

Quaddicted will sleep for the night, sorry. 

Also, I am assuming that if I have to take money from the hosting fund to rent a beefy server for a month to get Atomicgamer archived, that would be fine, right? 

Lesson of the day is that backing up the containers in which your sites run is a great idea but backing up the host system is a good idea too. Something broke and the server is not booting anymore. Backups are just a week old so no worries, nothing is lost.

I am focussing on Atomicgamer right now, so you will have to live without Quaddicted (and quakewiki and quakeexpo but who cares, right) for another day or two. Sorry! 

If someone knows things about mdadm and grub I could use some help. 

I have given up. Will be some days until it comes back. If this motivates someone to finalise offline support for the Quake Injector, at least something good comes out of it (I don't remember the status, sorry).

I will probably switch to a new server as this is a waste of time. 

what exactly is the problem? i don't know anything that would help, but maybe someone will stop by here and see. 

Try posting to the Quake subreddit at (reddit.com/r/quake)

Maybe some people there will know how to help! 

System does not boot, that's all I know. Provider said grub did not find some disk when they tried to boot it. I can mount the disks fine in a rescue system. I chrooted inside then.

I had updated packages which included a kernel upgrade. So I checked and changed the grub config without luck. Updated the initramfs.

Since it's raid I also tried including various modules. Raid is fine and working if I boot in rescue system. I took out one of the big disks when i first got the server as I did not care for raid. I also tried many variations of device names and uuids in mdadm.conf and grub as I suspected the md0/md126 thingie was the problem. Fscked without problems.

I can use a rescue ubuntu fine but when I try to boot the broken system, the only diagnostic is 'does it respond to anything after many minutes or not'.

And that ruined my Saturday, not gonna let it ruin my Sunday too. I'll post this and some file lists and configs to some places later, good idea! 

ended up reinstalling after wasting a couple of days on it. Sorry I can't be more help - short of regenerating the grub configs, I don't know how to fix it.
