The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

The number of sever crashes seem to have risen dramatically in the past 2-3 months. When I first started playing, the server almost NEVER crashed (around August-December).
Is this year's April Fool's joke causing the server to crash more frequently/dramatically? Seems a large coincidence that these squad game disrupting crashes are happening right around April 1st...

Conficker B++ (other)
Summary
Win32/Conficker.C is a worm that infects other computers across a network by exploiting a vulnerability in the Windows Server service (SVCHOST.EXE). If the vulnerability is successfully exploited, it could allow remote code execution when file sharing is enabled. It may also spread via removable drives and weak administrator passwords. It disables several important system services and security products.
Microsoft strongly recommends that users apply the update referred to in Security Bulletin MS08-067 immediately.

Summary
Win32/Conficker.D is a variant of Win32/Conficker. Conficker.D infects the local computer, terminates services, blocks access to numerous security related Web sites and downloads arbitrary code. Conficker.D can relay command instructions to other Conficker.D infected computers via built-in peer-to-peer (P2P) communication. This variant does not spread to removable drives or shared folders across a network (as with previous variants). Conficker.D is installed by previous variants of Win32/Conficker.

RaumVogel: If Conficker has been stopped because everyone patched and is using updated anti-virus software,how come Micro$oft is predicting Conficker.D will still hit on April 1st? Are there that many servers on the internet that it can still propagate? And how many are affecting our servers? (you know..feeders that are between us and the backbone)
