Fact check: I was not logged out

I sent some of you a PM to let you know your account credentials have been compromised and you should change your password. To be clear: This has nothing to do with the HQ itself, nothing from the HQ has been compromised or leaked. Your IP was flagged by our monitoring system and I wanted to give you guys a heads up.

You might want to run your email through HaveIBeenPwned: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
And consider using a password manager like KeePassXC(free, open source password manager, I've used it for years): https://keepassxc.org/ , it has a nice browser integration with an extension.

If you use a VPN it may be a false positive with another user.

We had a short outage for about 7 minutes, entire datacenter lost connectivity. Meaning don't blame me, go blame someone else

[rusty_shackleford]

Datacenter continues to run on backup internet while issue is being resolved. Site will be slow, but there should be no outages. People should stop cutting fiber!

[rusty_shackleford]

ETA 3-4 hours for a fix, very bad time for this to happen due to it being what is typically a multiday holiday in USA.

[rusty_shackleford]

Broke site/chat for a couple minutes while rolling out updates related to ModHQ authentication stuff. Should be fixed now.

[rusty_shackleford]

There will be downtime later today, have to do some technical stuff.
Probably ~12AM EST

Should be done, let me know if you have any issues using the site.

Polls can now set minimum number of posts to be able to vote. Make a thread in feedback if you encounter an issue.

[rusty_shackleford]

Site will go down for a brief period later today to create a full backup as part of moving to the new server.

[rusty_shackleford]

I'll wait until off-hours to do the full migration incase something goes wrong.

[rusty_shackleford]

Site will be going down tonight for server migration, sometime around 2AM EST probably, roughly 3½ hours from when I post this.

[edit]
Nevermind, something came up.

You might need to purge your browser cache/history for rpghq if you have issues.
