Retro Remakes :: Retro Archive

Well, looks like we’re more screwed than first investigations shown up. In fact, we’re going to have to nuke the drive and start all over again. As you can well imagine, I’m not too happy right now!

This will mean that we’re going to have some downtime, as will all currently hosted sites on RR. This will be very soon – likely within the next 24 hours. The good news is that all the data is safe and intact, but with the server compromised to the degree it has been and the amount of damage caused by the defacement it’s going to take a while to get everything back up to speed. We’ll have the server back up and running within 24 hours, but it may take us weeks to get *everything* back up and running, depending on how smoothly stuff goes. I’ll be moving progress updates over to the competition blog for the time being and updating my own personal stuff over at my tumblr account.

Obviously, this also means there’s going to be a delay in the competition results appearing. For which we’re quite sorry. I’ll also be contacting anyone hosted with RR on how to proceed and hope to get everyone else up and running again within a day or two as top priority.

Reet, bollocks. We’ve been hacked. I’m onto the hosts to try and sort this out but it effects *all* sites on our server. It’s easy to recover from as luckily the hack isn’t *too* malicious but it’s going to take time (and bloody money I don’t really have to cover the support fees) so there may be some downtime over the next 24 hours whilst we sort this out.

Sorry and bugger.

Originally posted as a WIP back in 2007 by Mr Oddbob, we thought that this was another game that had perhaps disappeared into the ether never to be seen again, but thankfully in this case we were very wrong. TheTofuCube has visited our forums to let us know that the game was in fact completed and to give us the finished version of this exceedingly retro Millipede remake.
