CWF Game Cast

As of today Warvault has moved to Acho Hosting for its web hosting needs.  Why is this news, you ask, because it sounds boring.

The reason, besides giving some major promo to Acho Hosting who is our web host and sponsor for our podcast, is to announce downtime for Warvault.

The move to Acho Hosting will include downtime while the Warvault URL transfers to the new server plus time for DNS to propagate.  I won’t get into the technical side but after the Warvault URL moves it’ll take 24-48 hours for that information to travel around the globe.

During that time you may have trouble accessing Warvault.

What Does This Mean For Us?

It means a lot of things actually.  Without violating customer confidentiality, I can say that Warvault has upgraded to a top of the line hosting plan, for a fraction of the cost.  I am the Sales Department Manager at Acho Hosting and I assisted Warvault Owner, Angron, with the move in conjunction with Nikk Spiert who is the head tech guy at Acho.

Additionally, the top of the line plan affords Warvault a heap of bandwidth, which means even more of you can access the website.  Plus, Warvault gains a lot more space allowing Angron to implement many plans that he couldn’t before due to limitations from the previous host.

Lastly, the move to Acho Hosting provides as near to 100% uptime as we’ve ever seen.  This means that once Warvault is firmly on the Acho Hosting server that no matter what time or where you are you will be able to access Warvault 24 hours a day.

On September 6th we made a post titled “Warvault Goes Down, Hackers Triumph….or Do They?” in which we stated that Warvault suffered prolonged downtime because of hackers.

Today we are happy to announce that Warvault is up and running.  Warvault owner Angron found a security hole in a piece of software and was able to patch it up.  After that it was smooth sailing with a result of Warvault bouncing back in record time.

Be sure to vote for us at Warvault and see what Warvault can do for you!

Warvault Owner, Angron, announced today that Warvault has experienced downtime caused by hackers exploiting a hole in PHP.

The exploitation has allowed the hackers to run their own software. In defense Warvault’s web hosting company has closed the site down until a fix is implemented.

The Warvault team is hard at work to fix this issue. They’ve asked for YOUR help! Here’s how:

If you are an experienced coder with time enough to perhaps throw your hand in to examine what exactly has gone wrong here and the means with which to help us repair it, please, get in touch. Same goes for knowing a coder of being able to put us in touch with one!

Angron also said, “I have noticed worryingly erronous vote patterns for a few, unnamed, sites. If you are the owner of this site and are aware that there is something wrong, or indeed are exploiting a hole in Evo Topsites in order to up your vote count, own up.” He promises that he won’t ban the site that owns up. He just wants to get Warvault back on its feet.

If you can either help or know someone who can please contact Angron at contact@warvault.net.

If you know who the hackers are please contact Angron at contact@warvault.net.

If you are a hacker exploiting Warvault, please stop and grow up.

Continuing from Part 1, here is the conclusion to the Q&A session with Warvault Owner Angron.

CWF: What got you into gaming?

Ang: My cousin, when I was about 7. He was… well, some age older than me, and played 2nd ed 40k. I learnt the rules, the fluff, got into Tyranids… then Marines, then Orks, then everyone else until I finally hit my army, Chaos. I’ve been playing ever since Dark Millenium.

CWF: What game systems do you play and what armies do you play in each system?

Ang: Chaos, Eldar, Witch Hunters and Daemonhunters in 40k, Dark Elves and Khornate Chaos Mortals in Fantasy. I’ve been toying with Dark Age and Confrontation for a while, as well as owning a copy of the ST rulebook, sent to me for free courtesy of Mongoose Publishing. Only time stops me!

CWF: What are some of the game companies WV hooked up with?

Ang: We’re officially endorsed by Rackham, well on the way with Mongoose… working with North Star Games’s Projekt X, Privateer Press, Dark Age Games, and Red Star Games (Andy Chambers’ solo company, now defunct).
