Challenge Points
Challenge Points
Some of you may notice you now have no points in your profile.
If this is the case, please click read more for further information.
This server is a pile of **** and as you may know, requires constant rebooting. Many of the reboots subsequently mess up SQL and effect the database.
After one of the reboots the challenge table became corrupted.
I went to go fix it, backed up the challenge table before hand, just incase.. found the problem and then updated the database and challenge table is now fixed.
however… some accounts were lost in the update as their row was corrupted. The backup doesnt include the corrupted rows.
I've restored a few accounts from looking at their google cache of the profile.
So if you have lost all your points, IF its alot of points and alot of challenge, please post below or int he forums and a member of staff will fix it as soon as they can.
We apologize for the inconvience and hope to have this fixed asap.
To help us, please view and save a copy of the google cache (incase google caches your profile iwth 0 points) and then link us to where you have saved the cache. Please do this quickly! If google caches your profile when you have 0 points… there is little we can do!

Does this mean that the tables are completely fixed for now? Oh, and I lost all my challenge and community points, but theres no rush for you guys to fix it up. I know you have more important stuff to do then worry about points. Thanks in advance.

i had like 1700 something points and 46 community points. like mido said, no rush, but it'd be nice to have that back again.

I had about 2800 points that went missing, though it's not really all that important… but I might bring up another bug that has affected my account. When I had points and a ranking (I know it's narcissicistic to look up your own ranking, but I wanted to see who else was in my points range) wherever I was ranked was always replaced by the user 'Headtwist' who has about 50 points. Just thought you should know.
