And get traffic in here again? No, that is against Dennis' philosophy.
This statement does not represent reality.

Once you make your first post your account is confirmed and will not be autodeleted. Accounts with Zero posts within 7 days from registering get deleted.

Came here today and found out my account was deleted with no warning. Had to recreate my account. If I recall I didn't post anything at all. Any possible reason it was deleted?

Yes. You didn't post anything in 7 days from creating the account. Happens automaticly. This prevents accounts that misspell their email address from clogging the userbase.

Tool pro was released with malware imbedded in it. You are lucky you can't find a copy.

Was there ever proof of that? I got a copy and used it for the best part of a decade but never had virus problems with it
Yes.
Every one of the 10 copies submitted for hosting in the archive contain malware including the one from the author.

upload link isn't broken: this site is being "moderated" now. It may be a day or 2 before he gets back to you!
Actually the File submission page on the hce.halomaps.org site is no longer functional. Several of the backend systems that support the gaming websites failed and it requires equipment and a complete rewrite to restore them on to the newer platforms and systems we now use. It has not been a priority and then the pandemic hit and pushed it even lower on the "to do list". Sorry.

In the never ending battle that is 2020 a faulty power supply temporarily took the file archive off-line. It has been replaced and the files are once again available for download.

Tropical Storm Isaias was not kind to Connecticut and took us off the net. Over 3/4 of the state was affected with power and connectivity outages. We lost our fiber connection and it took several days until new fiber was run and re-connected. But we are back, at least until the next apocalyptic event which I expect will be a Covenant battle ship appearing overhead.

Halo CE General Discussion » We have a spammer - JadeUndead Jun 23, 2020 11:48 AM (Total replies: 15)

Some people are truly zany characters nowadays.

I finally read one of the spam posts before 2 click deleting them all and it was a fever dream of right-wing propaganda and misinformation about what is arguably one of the most important and overdue social movements in my lifetime. I marched in the streets for the right of 18 year old's to vote and to end the Vietnam war (yes I am that old) and have born witness to the inequities that the Black Lives Matter movement justifiably seeks to end. And while I applaud and support those currently marching for justice, this forum is not the place to debate such matters regardless of your views.

I am locking this thread so as to not give it more air.

As you probably have seen we have a spammer who is intent on posting off color and racists rants in the forum. Probably due to some imagined slight. He is from California in the Yuba City / Marysville area of the state and goes by the pseudonym of JadeUndead and/or JadeRenegade. I have blocked several of the Comcast network sub-nets in that area however I can't block them all or it will affect others. Some how he got triggered.

He has a YouTube channel (see below) and an account at Ratchet-Galaxy and apparently his Reddit account has been suspended like the one here.

Regardless of his username of the moment, Please do not respond to his posts . I will continue to delete them (it is only 2 clicks no matter how many posts he makes) as he makes new accounts and continues to post off topic.

I have turned off the email notification system and lengthened the time between posts until such time as he decides to stop.

If you know him please ask him to stop, it is just so childish. Or you can go to his YouTube channel and contact him thru there. (some of his videos are interesting)

Unfortunately not everyone is properly socialized.

Good morning
Hopefully some place it is.

I am sure there has been much (completely unfounded) speculation, rumors, falsehoods, whispering, shouting, cursing and self indulgent complaining that the websites were unavailable for 4 days. FOUR WHOLE DAYS! My god! The humanity!

So here goes:

Yes, I am still among the living.

No, the websites have not closed.

Yes, I intend to keep them open.

No, none of the files were lost.

I had to get a part for the database array that services the gaming websites and because of the pandemic and lock-downs it took much longer than normal to get it shipped.

Please stay safe. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Socially distance and take care.

Also glad to see Dennis isn't dead after all the speculation
Nope I am still breathing. I had to get a part for the database array that services the gaming websites and because of the pandemic and lock-downs it took much longer than normal to get it shipped.

This is lunacy. Why not just lock any threads that have nothing to do with 'modding CE?'
Buy a server, open your own forum and moderate it how you see fit. Until then keep your opinions about it to yourself. I really have very little patience left with back seat drivers or smart-mouthed mouthed juveniles.

You realise when I'm posting in all these stupid forums that aren't even discussing modding I'm simply being a ass right?
I fixed that for you.

HTTPS when?

Certs are free and easy.
Probably never. This is a public form that does not collect any personal information and frankly I don't care if someone captures the packets of data flowing from or to this particular website. Reading it would only lower their IQ buy a dozen points anyway.

Also, Dennis: What legal right do you have to distribute Halo Custom Edition,
The one granted me by the user agreement, and the EULA.

Stop trying to be a primadonna. If you were as smart as you claim you think you are you would have never had to ask such an incredibly stupid and inane question.

Yes. imo it might as well be abandoned officially right?
No it is not "officially" abandoned nor has the copyright expired. Your opinion does not align with the facts.
