Tower of the Sun

Did that site die? What happened? If it did I'm gonna be disappointed.

The tower got a database indexing error in the forum part a couple of weeks ago.

Word is that there will be a reconstruction of the tower in the near future. Exactly how much can be salvaged from the old tower remains to be seen.
 
The poeple are around on here, Aon, and facebook - what material were you interested in? Someone might have a copy!
 
I do miss the Tower - the forums were my favourite part! Facebook is just not the same, but it's a lot better than nothing.

Oh and those of you using the "My Heroes Ability" on me - my facebook account isn't working at the moment (I'm blaming the internet) so when I can log in fully, I'll be right back at you! (as Vordash the Necromancer of course. Who says I don't get out?!)

I can't even recall all of what was there. Mostly expanded rules I guess?

Not so many any more is my guess. The group moved their Headquarters to New York, so if you want Knowledge Sharing you are best off going there.

What kind of expanded rules? Classes?
 
WH is going to have to rebuild TotS due to that database index error. The host backup was corrupted. No ETA on when TotS will be back online.

This has been posted this morning on the PA board by KHFA/KLSS.

Good news is that Joe Dever himself would like to join TotS once it will be rebuilt. He has also accepted to redo the interview (that originally took place back in August) that has been lost in the Maaken Gorge when Darklord Vashna has been sent back there (but it's just a rumor).
 
That is good news. I think he has the right to reserve whatever username he wants (be it Joe Dever, Lone Wolf, King Ulnar IV, Kai or even anything else he choses as long as it's not one of those annoying l33t nonsense ones that get up people's noses :)).
 
There's not enough details from WH at this moment, other than he needs to rebuilt the site and cannot simply restore it from a back up (the back-up was also corrupt)
 
I can't realize who would have hijacked ToTS.
Virus spammers and hackers target sites that makes people pissed off.
So, how can ToTS make someone so angry to decide to destroy the Tower?
Naar perhaps? :shock:
Seriously, I can't believe it.
I'm more convinced that the host provider screwed something off.
 
Possibly FH, but if the hosting company was any good, then it shouldnt have been.

Still corruptions can occur at any point and it depends on how often ToTs was backed up by the host. If it was weekly, then the corruption could have happened and yes that would affect the backup. Same thing for daily, but then I guess you could roll back to a backup where it definately WAS working.

Still, for all those ToTs 'fugees who need a place to stay, head over to here.

Sorry FH, but I must that you are naive to think that hackers only attack sites that make people pissed off. TotS has been attacked before for no other reason than the thrill of it. The website of the company that I'm working for has been hacked too in the past: we are just a publishing company making six local weekly newspaper in Canada, and the attack came from the US. Think of MafiaBoy, the 15-years-old who hacked CNN, Yahoo!, Amazon, Dell and eBay on the same day back in 2000 simply for the fun of it.
 
Yes, perhapse I'm naive...but I still wonder what kind of thrill an hacker would find in hijackin' a fansite where no one makes profits and where the community doesn't break anyone's balls.
 
Just to know they have had an effect on someone, and the fact its illegal.

The other main site I go to was knocked out for a day for no good reason other than for someone to put the equivalent of 'haha' on the front page
