Server Busted!

OOer, I've just discovered the Starfyre TNG server has got broken somehow,
probably some overheating somewhere.
I only found this out when I tried downloading the FLMM & TNG again,
some kind soul has left a message.
It will be back up around Friday or so the message said.




...more machine than man, twisted and evil.

Adendum,
I just had an email from Starfyre, they said they were/are testing TNG 1.7, hence the server not being available.
I don't understand, why would an existing piece of software (a mod) be used for a newer piece of software, wouldn't you just cut and paste the old code into the new code? Why would that make the server offline?

When I first read the subject of the thread I thought it meant Microsoft had had the server admins arrested for illegal materials or something. Don't scare me like that!!

I know the feeling. I saw the forum name and said to myself "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Not again!!!" Please put server down or something next time. You're gonna give us all heart attacks.

Bobthedog - Thanks, now read your posting. Don't quite understand what the reference to the hoax is all about, I must have missed a posting somewhere.
I still don't see what 1.7 has to do with older mods & the FLMM downloads.
I'm not a newbie, I just don't do programming, I am a new systems analyst!

Someone sent us an email with fake headers. that made it, for all intents and purposes, from Microsoft (allthough it wasn't) saying that we had to stop the mod or they'd sue us. we've since found out it was a hoax. but before that we did partially comply with the demands of the email and we took down all our downloads. we don't wanna mess with putting them back up when we are fixing to release a new version in a few days hopefully.
