getting the same

“Hi guys, i’m not mantaining the website any more and i’m not sure i will do the full rewrite.
Thanks for the good time.

Taken from changelog. No reasons or anything :( Not sure how old that post is though. Could some one else take over or something? Would be sad to see this die at the peak of it’s popularity.

I am really sorry that i cannot do anything about it because I am just not famillar with those creepy(for me) website things…and seems trath offline since hours…
Also, i found this in google – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6445917/connect-failed-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost-using-password-yes

p.s if anyone know anything about it…feel free to add me asap!

Well..then if there is someone who is up for working on the website and upgrading it…add me..

For reference, that error message means the web server scripts (i.e. the software trath has written) don’t have the right login details to talk to the database server (where all the user/pickup/server info is stored). Thats not really a bug. Either the site has been hacked by the most boring hacker ever, or trath has done that on purpose.

Not sure why you are attributing this to Trath, that probably was me, because the way it’s written the database gets a lot of queries. The number of people hammering the DB is rising, this is probably why it tends to break more and more often.

Edit: @Trath, did you fix the message.php ? It’s probably still using the old DB log in.

:D
