The company that hosts OTF is currently working to resolve a software issue that has been causing random shutdowns on their servers over the past few months. OTF hasn't been directly affected by these outages more than a few times, but as they work to fix the issue it's possible that the site may go down for a few minutes from time to time.

If the site is down then give it a few minutes and check back. Usually these problems resolve within a few minutes.

Well, lookie here! Star Wars Trivia results. Haven't seen that in a while. Thankfully, it was a boatload (or shipload. Take your pick) of fun!
Richard started off snatching real points, but he left. After that, 7of24's Google skillz (I kid. I'm being mean) took over, and he stormed the chat! DIRECT HIT!
As you can tell from below, Hampus smashed the competition in the Silly Point contest. It's like..... he has a sense of humor or something.
Cut the chatter, it's time for the full results!

Regular points:
7of24: 11
Richard Smith: 3
3of8: 2
GrandMasterJedi: 2
T. O'Connell: 1
Hampus: 1
smkenobi: 1

Silly points:
Hampus - 13
7 of 24 - 7
smkenobi - 7
Cheeba - 6
Shannon - 6
3 of 8 - 3
Rick Hunter - 2

On behalf of everyone in Trivia, I'd like to thank all participants for making it a fun evening. We look forward to seeing you at the next trivia event!

Well Knight Rider Trivia got started off a little slow today, but soon turned into a great time. T. O'Connell distanced herself early and buit a nice lead to earn her a win and as usual Hampus was on top of his game. Everyone had a great time and kept Gabriel and me laughing. Here are the rest of the results:

Regular points:
T.O'Connell - 11
Traveller - 3
Cinna - 2
7of24 - 2
GrandmasterJedi89 - 1

Silly points:
Hampus - 14

    Hi everyone!

    Halloween is here - and so are OTF Halloween features!

    • Chattops - As in previous years, Halloween chattops are in Ten Forward, the CCC and Minas Tirith.

    • Special Ranks - You can choose your own special rank if you log in via Ten Forward, the CCC or Minas Tirith.

    • Smileys - Halloween smileys are in addition to, not instead of, the regular smileys! We recognise that people like being able to express themselves clearly, using the regular smileys - but also want to offer the Halloween Collection. The result is the addition of the temporary Halloween Collection of smileys! To get the special Halloween smiley, insert an H between the two smiley characters! Spelling it out:

      • :HO
      • :H}
      • :H"
      • :HD
      • :HK
      • :H(
      • :H)
      • :H?
      • :HP
      • ;H)

    All comments, as usual, very welcome - please feel free to send my way!

    Cheers, and enjoy!

    And another one...
    Google has now confirmed that thousands of Gmail accounts were compromised by an “industry-wide phishing scheme.”
    According to the BBC, the login data of over 30,000 Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Comcast, and Earthlink accounts have been posted online.

    If your account was compromised we advise you to change any other account where you used the same password.

    And another security risk to be reported!
    Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari aren't secure anymore while using PayPal.
    Hackers managed to create a SSL Certificate that makes your browser think it's on the PayPal site but in reality it's on the hackers site to steal your account logins.
    So far only Firefox is safe.
    I strongly advise you to read this.

    Login credentials for more than 10,000 Microsoft Live accounts have been posted to the internet, most likely by miscreants who found them or harvested them in a phishing attack.
    Posts in several forums even claimed that all accounts have been hacked, but that is very unlikely.
    We advise you to change your password anyway, just to make sure.
    Changing your password every few weeks makes sure it's less likely to be hacked.
    Also make sure your anti virus scanner is up to date, so that keylogger have no chance.
