Forum

Hi guys,

I'm not very active on the forums but some of you may know me from the game.

On the licensing model: I would be very happy with open source. Generally security by obscurity does not work. Indeed if anyone can read the source then unknown mistakes may be exploited, but I think that this is easily detectable and if there is a known issue, then a lot more ppl can help fixing it. (For example I wouldn't have time for development, but I would happily try to help in finding and eliminating security issues/exploits when they arise.) I think that the infrastructure should be restored as soon as possible with the current model (otherwise players will be lost), but then the development model should be discussed before doing actual work. Open sourcing would also provide the chance to avoid the death of the project in case the original developers leave for whatever reason (or at least enables resurrection).

On the security issues/design issues: although I'm not a cryptography expert, I have some knowledge on the topic (although mostly on the theoretical part). I would be happy to participate in the discussion concerning this topic. (I can help with system design, some cryptography, and algorithmic questions; I hate working on anything GUI related.) Spanky if you think that the project would benefit from my input please PM me and I can share IRL information with you to let you verify my background.

Assist should be up inside of 3 days at the latest.

I just want to keep playing.  How do we make it happen?

Wait. It's being worked on.

Great news Spanky and thanks in advance to you and everyone else involved with getting Assist back up and running

Spanky deserves a raise everyone start pitching in donations so he gets a check this week.

Send it to ELiZ, he's the one putting fourth 95% of the effort.
