Does anyone know what happened to Badge W hore, Badge Hunter and Vidiotmaps? Can't access any of them.

I have noticed too.

Thought it would just automagically come back online.
I guess not yet.

I made an announcement on the badge-hunter forums but unfortunately the site wasn't there long enough for many people to read it.

If you don't already know, I was redesigning the site and bringing everything under one roof. So to make a long story short, I closed the domain from the old hosting company and pushed it to the new hosting company, unfortunatley, the domain has not yet settled with the new hosting company, so until that happens the domains badge-hunter.com and vidiotmaps.com won't work.

Give it a day or so and everything will be back to normal with the new redesigned site

Yes, The old badge-hunter tracking site was seriously out-dated and could not be merged with the new software, so that old user accounts and characters had to be left behind in the redesign.

Now, to track characters, all you have to do is sign up to the site, and recreate your characters and start verifying again. I know this may come to be a pain, but thre was seriously nothing I could do to salvage the old database.

More details on everything will be posted soon, once the domain settles and is working again.

Welp it is what it is... one other thing, with the old site we could see all the badges we had via art I noticed with the new site it's more of a graph like base is it going to stay like that?

Yes, I changed the Character Detail page so it doesn;t have to load 700+ badges for that page. You can still view the character details, and you can still see what badge they have vs what they don;t have, you just need to click the link vs seeing them all load on a single page.

What method are we using to verify/auto-update badges to the new layout?
Is there a new version of HeroStats or another program?

Yes, we will still be using Hero Stats as before, I'm currentloy waiting for Hero Stats to be updated as I had to have the webservice completely re-written as the old script wouldn't work with the new site.

But yes, it will remain the same, just need to wait for the unstable version to be created.

**NOTE**

I asked A C to remove the link as this is my testing site, I didn't want people creating accounts on the testing site since this won't be used publicly. The real site will be accessable as soon as the domain settles with the new hosting company

Yup, the hosts had some issue with the domain names and held it hostage however Beef is working on getting it resolved.

Beef, PM ME! <3.

Thanks for letting us know. I guess I'll just hang out and wait for the new site and Herostats to be updated.

It's not that big a deal, I can always dump the database to the live site, so no worries if you already signed up

Just to let everyone know, the badge-w hore.com domain is now up and running, so you can access the site through that domain until the badge-hunter and vidiotmaps domains resolve and points to the new server.

Thanks for your patience,
Beef

And that's why Pinnacle is your home, oh master of Drunk-Fu!!

Seriously, though. I offered to help manually verify. I don't have as much free time now as when I made the offer (mainly due to schedules being reorganized due to The Wife™ getting a job after just shy of 9 months unemployed), but I'm still willing to help manually verify what and when I can.
