This particular misty eyed gamer remembers with kindness the amazingly addictive game that was Unreal.
Built using the original Unreal Engine, it never failed to suck me into its world and frighten the living bejaysus out of me.

Every. Time. I. Played.

Well, it would appear that there is a newfound community effort underway to revive what was one of the shining stars of the Unreal franchise, and completely blot out the memory of the shambles that was Unreal 2.

I've restored the old firewall script from before the re-install of the server to try to prevent the ridiculous number of failed SSH login attempts that we've been getting for the pas

Unreal.IE is a community driven website. No one is paid for the work that is done here. Everyone volunteers some of their free time to administer the physical systems we run, the services we provide, moderate the community facing sections of the forum, moderate and maintain the games servers and many, many more behind the scenes tasks that are completed on a weekly if not daily basis.

I'm not looking for praise, and neither would I, but I'm posting this to highlight a problem that has cropped up since the latest downtime (caused by an O/S reinstall for the web server)

Thanks to some fantastic work by pug, the unreal.ie server is back in business :)

There are so many news entries posted that mention downtime ... my god :(

Anyway, to fill you all in:
On the 9th Jun at approx. 07:04am, every user that was on the site (myself, logged in as "zoro", plus 4 search engine spiders, as guests) were switched over to the "admin" account. What this means is that everyone on the site was suddenly upgraded to the account with the highest possible access rights available in Drupal.

Well, the new forum code is (hopefully) finally ready for deployment \o/

Unreal.IE - 17 Dec 2005

Unreal.IE will be taken offline today after 18:00 to facilitate testing of a new forum codebase.

I know, I know, we all hate Jazzy. I mean I can hardly disagree! He's an arrogant, ignorant annoying prick!
However, he's also honest and doesn't bullsh*t or beat around the bush.
