Not what you were expecting, huh?
I am sorry for the inconvenience, but something happened yesterday (06.02). Something you might not be aware of.
All started innocently - with an announcement on discord server. It was announcement with a warning about
security issues related to using resources like this website. To my knowledge, up till now that's the only publicly available fan-made
resource which allows you to use your credentials to download user data from cne servers, over which you don't
really have any control (although you can if you know "anything" about JavaScript), so it's kind of obvious
what/who was the subject of this announcement. I would like to point out that I generally agree with
the contents of that announcement and those who read warnings included on this website, should know it already.
Only thing I find laughable about that announcement, is the fact that guys from cne knew about the website and
at least partially about the way it works FOR A YEAR ... took quite some time to decide to warn the players.
So, if I agree with contents of that announcement, where is the problem? The problem is in a fact that this
announcement started a ... lively discussion, to say the least. I saw people writing false information about
my project, namely because they've never tried reading how they can use it. The biggest issue was that The
Superstar started scaring people by writing BS. When someone of this rank starts writing stuff, they should
be careful what they write. Not only is that a person marked as a "leader", but also
someone that always claims to never post their opinions, but only sticking to the facts ... maybe they
should finally start doing so.
Anyway, that's why I've decided to shut down the server for some time. Enough time, to prepare this notice for you.
As you can see, website works again, but not to it's fullest. Right now it's only a game data viewer.
Soon, I will update it once again. This update
will bring an eula-like wall of text, with information about security risks you're taking if you'd like to keep using
user-data related features of this website. That info will be displayed forcefully and you will have to choose
to accept or decline. If you'll choose the later - nothing would change for you, website will work as it is working
RIGHT NOW. Obviously with more content as I will upload updates to it. If you will choose to accept the risks, you
will be able to access all the stuff this website was giving you prior to this short "blackout", but you also won't
be able to say, that you did not know about ways to avoid any security related issues.
Similar kind of info already was available on this website, although when I was designing that part of GUI for the first
time, what I thought would be fun introduction with link to detailed usage info, became a bit of text that nobody reads.
That would change now. I will leave the original info intact until I will redesign that part of the interface sometime later.
For last words, if you want to remove your data from this website, just clear browser's cache, since if you did not know,
all your data was stored only in your browser's cache.
