The server has been spamming my inbox with emails reporting various users bruteforcing challenges such as 'Prime Suspect' which really does not need it with a little thought. From a discussion with a certain user I have implemented red/orange/green icons on the challenges which denote respectively: no scripts/scripts are fine, but not necessary/scripts are okay. Anyone found running bots/scripts against a challenge marked RED will receive a warning or ban. Thanks for your understanding. |

No |

It has been decided that in the new year I will code a solutions board for each challenge accessable to those who have solved that challenge. Here I will post the model solution for the challenge and have a comments form for users to post their own methods and ask questions. Due to the enclosed nature of the forum, this will probably take the form of the visitor messaging system and will have to be entirely self-coded so it may take a while. New challenge should be up tomorrow :) |

sabretooth |
No |

Uploading a new challenge every week (roughly) is taking its toll on me, so I'm leaving PoisonIvy in charge of the site for a few days and taking a short break from RE as I didn't get around to the last break I had promised myself. Note that this isnt due to lack of ideas, as I am already planned up to the end of case 10. Will be back with a new challenge or two next week. Thanks to all. sabretooth |

Challenge 49 is online. You are given little to work with here so analysis may seem difficult. I forsee a possible forum discussion regarding this one...

It has come to my attention that in creating a new forum, all existing posts will be lost. Having checked through them and finding only 20 non-admin posts, I feel that this is probably a good time to do this. I shall however create an archive section in the new forum and copy all messages there in a read only format. New users are automatically registered into the new forum upon registration, and existing users are automatically registered into the new forum upon login. I hope to get this fully up and running by the end of the month. |
