Tony just wanted to say really appreciate the work you chaps are putting in on this, and the regular updates. As a player who uses some of your services, it's not great when they go down but you're more than making up for it with excellent communication, so thanks!

Woot, we have site uppage! Please read the update at the top for more info.
tl;dr version: CIT, avatars, and the Mids' and Sentinel repository are all up now, report any issues here!
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

We've successfully fixed the webservice issue with CIT. A new Build Manifest is available for Sentinel, and characters can once again be tracked.
Any idea on when the Red Tomax pages will be back up, or if they'll be back up?
I know the same data is available on Paragon Wiki, but the Red Tomax pages is a concise, compact bunch of pages where I can find the one factoid I need in seconds.
Thanks for the fantastic job you guys did on containing the problem. Very much appreciated.
Hmm... Good question. If it's based on the CodeIgniter framework, it will probably be tomorrow or, at the latest, Wednesday. If it's not, I'll try to get it restored tonight. I don't think it is, so I'm hoping the latter.

Okay, I admit, I slacked off a bit today to catch up on some football games. (Go Falcons! How about those Giants? Is Eli Manning the kryptonite of Tom Brady, or what?)... |
Hey the Falcons were playing the Colts...they let the Colts score a TD?!? Come on man, I picked up their Def. hoping for a shutout but noooo, just had to let them score a TD
Oh and hooray for Patriots losing!

The Falcons offense on the other hand fell down on the job and allowed the Colts defense to score on a Pick 6.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Hey all, RedTomax/City of Data is back online and accessible. This one wasn't too hard, especially being a static site. It's cleaned and back up for your enjoyment. Please note that the RSS feeds are grossly out-of-date and don't work; that's not a new bug or a result of the cleaning or upgrades; it was broken a long time ago, and my focus is currently restoring the functionality we had, not fixing bugs that existed before. Also note that the data isn't up-to-date, either. Getting it up-to-date is another effort that will be addressed later.

'Titan Network' is a just fancy name for the sharing of resources among a group of fan sites. Things like server hosting, web design, programming, and so on. The stuff that's hard to justify the expense or time involved for a single site, but spread out across several, lets those sites continue to exist when they otherwise couldn't. Several of them have been long abandoned by their creators, but are kept alive regardless.|

I used to be vaguely distrustful of 'Titan' sites because of the mildly corporate groupthink vibe it gave off, but later I found out that it's all volunteer run. It wasn't until the wiki moved over that I really took a look, and it turns out that these days it has a good crew running things.

Titan Network also allows for 1 username and password across the various sites. It was a bit more obvious when the City Game Tracker (online/offline character tracker) and the City Info Terminal (badges) were actually two separate sites, and you could potentially use SuckerPunch's Online Planner (in the time before Mids) and CoH Faces (mini-social network created before we really knew what social networks were). After a while, the Titan guys incorporated the two sites together into the current "City Info Tracker" site.|

The wiki itself was actually a later addition into the full network, I think after all the stuff with the Wikia folks went down.
If you only go to the wiki, and don't do any badge tracking or use the build planners, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't really know about it.

Hey Guys
Great work so far.
But I am still having some issues with Sentinel and badges.
Most of my characters have multiple badges in game but only a few are showing, (like 3 on one character), the rest of my characters aren't showing any badges.
I have updated the Sentinel program, but still nothing has changed.
Is anyone else seeing this problem as well?
I've been talking about OuroPortal lately and was wondering what its order on the totem poll is. Obviously not a critical issue, just curious

This will probably be a not-too-hard thing to do, so I'll try to get it up and running mid-evening tonight. Faces is by far the hardest one to get moved over, that one will probably be at least another day or two out.

You need to let Sentinel know which badges you have; the server doesn't send them down until you ask for them. Try typing /info_self into the chat window.

TonyV, I really want to thank you for this. Red Tomax's City of Data is truly a wonderful resource for us number wonks. I was getting the shakes without it!

Aw, but I wanna be the guy!
Hey all, quick update. The Ouroboros Portal is back up. It's been cleaned, upgraded, and secured. Sorry for the delay in updates. Now on to the next items in my to do list. If anyone has any trouble or gets any errors, let me know.

Just FYI - image uploading at the ouro portal appears to be broken. Attempting to upload an image results in a page with the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function free() on a non-object in /var/www/ouroportal.com/public_html/w/includes/filerepo/LocalRepo.php on line 172
An identical error also appears when attempting to click on any existing images on various pages.

Thanks for the report. There's definitely something wonky with the shared repository. I'll take a look at it.

But I've always appreciated the obvious effort that goes into Mids, and it appears you put the same sort of effort into the rest of this stuff that I am at best vaguely aware of. Kudos!
