    Some of you might have been wondering what happened to the website last night, so here is what happened: Last night and into this morning DynDNS's servers were being worked on, so the main FaceWAN website was not accessible during this time (getting a Redirect Failed error), while everything else was. That has been fixed, as DynDNS has finished maintenance on their major servers.

    The second issue that just popped up this morning at around 10AM was that the server somehow had a worm (https://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-052109-2651-99&tabid=2) and was filling the firewall with outgoing connections. I removed the worm and anything referencing it, so it should be completely gone. In the process of removing it, I had to restart the whole server, so alot of the services like the forums and gmod servers were down for an hour or so. Everything has been fixed and the server is running fine now.
