    Re: Your passwords are not encrypted

    Once it's hosted somewhere else, Synth will no longer be paying for hosting, is another potential pitfall.

      Yeah I asked if anyone was willing to pay for it but really changing host just seems like a bad fix. If synth is willing to keep paying for this, maybe providing payments to upgrade the actual server would be sufficient (with him keeping ownership). But that needs communication yes, and it's a hard task I know.

        It just feels like some part of you is saying that the lack of communication is, at all, happening on our end, like we're not trying hard enough to get a hold of Synth and get him to do things.

          Far from it dont worry.
          I've talked to velo yesterday and he gave me pretty much all the information I need to be well informed of the situation (for example what was posted in the other thread; https not doable on current server settings/os).

          It is absolutely Not my decision to take whether we should call synth or not despite him ignoring the admins. Cuz you know, I found his workplace easily and the admins have had his phone numbers for a while, so we could easily call from a number that he hasnt blocked. However, not knowing why he ignores the staff makes it a risk of harrassment, which I can totally understand. I personally would try it, but I wont push for it.

            Has anyone on the FFR Staff or been on the FFR Staff when Synthlight began going inactive been told by Synthlight or someone representing Synthlight why they shouldn't contact or call him, or been told that the contact is considered harassment and to refrain from future contact?

            If not, I would consider giving Synthlight a call. Considering this website costs money to keep up (despite very little on Synthlight's end for hosting), and takes up resources (disk space to manage data), I don't find it far fetched to try and contact him with any new information that could lead to actually reaching him. Considering the stance that it takes up money & resources.

            My deduction of reasoning & 2 cents. Love ya no matter what choice you go with on this. I'm not exactly in a hurry for anything to change.

              Afaik with what Velocity told me, nobody knows why he is clearly ignoring calls.

              I refuse as a simple user to call him personally and unless the admins decided to try and call from other numbers (which they dont seem to like), I will not pursue this communication goal.

                It is entirely possible that after 16 years he simply doesn't want to be involved with FFR anymore but keeps it online since it doesn't really cost him any money or time. For all intents and purpose, if that's the decision he's made, then I'm not about to bother him for the 30th time.

                Also another thing I remembered today, Multiplayer is locked to the server and IP, so we can't really change either of those.

                  Last time Synth came around I remember he literally came to re-enable profile downvotes then left again
                  The above post has a 50% chance of being useless. Potentially. Maybe.
