As a note: If you're expecting any sort of April Fool's gags from the Staff, uh.

Ary's been busy and never planned anything.

Mako's made no mention of it.

And I personally abhor April Fool's like a massive wet blanket, so...

There seems to be confusion of why TerrorKing was ultimately banned. Contrary to some people's beliefs, he was not ultimately banned for his criticism of Arc-V. What happened was:

• One of our members reported the post for basically being inflammatory/trolling/trying to stir up trouble.

• MystikX took the report sent to us via the member and examined the post.

• Having noticed behavior in previous threads, TerrorKing was warned for what was judged by him (Mystik) to be inflammatory behavior (yes he was criticizing but he was judged on past behavior to be doing it specifically to give everyone else on the forum a hard time and a less enjoyable experience, rather than to engage in civil conversation with his fellow peers.)

• Because TerrorKing had accumulated two prior warnings within the last two months, he reached his third warning.

• Our forum has a six strikes system. Here's how it works:
* The First Two Warnings are basically to ask you guys to reflect on behavior. We will try to PM members civilly first to clear up the air, but if behavior repeats, we give out warnings.

* Upon the third warning, a member will be denied access (i.e. banned) to the forum for one day.

* If they accumulate a fourth warning, said member gets a week off from being allowed to join.

* If they get a fifth, we remove the member from access for a month.

* If a member is unlucky enough to accumulate 6 warnings in one year (i.e. 365 days), they will be permanently denied access to Neo Ark Cradle as a member under current policy.

• As a note to the above, if you use an alternate account/VIP/etc. to get around your ban, our policy is to ban the offending alternate account for allowing the member evasion of their bans, and permanently ban the original account. This is true even for the one day ban.

So ultimately, TerrorKing was basically told to sit out for a day. If he wishes to return and contribute positively to the forum, he is more than welcome. If he does not, that is his choice.

Any questions?

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately our hosting has come to a point where our Site Owner can no longer keep up the site by himself, and has to look into options for free hosting. On the flip side, that means NAC has gotten quite big, so there's that to feel good about!

We have approximately a month to go until we have to make a decision.

The crutch of the decision, however, are the Download Forums.

We cannot have donations and/or ads with such a section, as that would mean we'd be profiting from such material (regardless of the reason for our money making), making us a bright, hot target for C&D. On the other hand, free hosting may come with its own issues and it may not be enough to hold our capacity. (Meaning possible slow load times, downtimes, etc.)

We felt it would be best to ask our memberbase on the matter, and what is more important to the people of NAC. There's a poll you can vote on, so please help us with our decision to see which option would be the most preferable!

If you have any comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to post in the thread.

Thanks for your help in advance, as well as your understanding.

Hey everyone!

So after a long long time, we've finally gotten our Tapatalk plugin to the most recent version! (4.5.1.) It was fairly out of date for one thing, and the previous version we had contained a massive exploit that had to be fixed, so downgrading is not an option. Also, now that I've been instructed on the procedure, I will be regularly updating Tapatalk for all you Tapatalk users from now on!

If any complications came up as a result of the update, please report it here: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://neoarkcradle.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1476">viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1476</a><!-- l -->

If anyone discovers a bug that should not be discussed in public, please report it to us Admins via a Private Message.

Happy Tapatalking!

Yes we were down.

Why?

Maintenance for the servers. No hacking or DDoS, so don't worry guys.

Hi guys!

You may or may not be aware that a critical security bug happened, affecting majority of the Internet websites as OpenSSL is the method to securely store your passwords. Popular sites such as Google (Gmail, etc.), Facebook have been affected.

You can find more information about Heartbleed here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://heartbleed.com/">http://heartbleed.com/</a><!-- m -->

The site is perfectly safe, it's just information about the bug.

This website gives you a list of websites you should change your password immediately for: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/">http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartble ... -affected/</a><!-- m -->

The above site is also safe.

Lastly, consider using a password manager such as LastPass to make your life easier.

Stay safe everyone! <3 SysAdmin over and out.

This counts as news. SOPA is back. Apparently, we only have until March 19th to stop it from passing. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitio...4/q0Vkk0Zr If this passes, this could be the end of the internet as we know it. It must not pass. Please, sign the petition. MODs, if this is in the wrong section, please move it. Thank you.

Happy Holidays everyone, enjoy your end of year celebration of your choice.

Happy birthday to the jello giant we all know and love.

Now fork over cash so we can send him a pizza.
