I can't actually start any code updates until I get home from work, but I'll start a general checklist of things I need to do in the short-term.

Checklist:

	- Update current contest in the sidebar.
	- Update latest newletter in the sidebar.
	- Retro-reward trophies to all contest winners.
	- Add contest subforums to list of forums excluded from the anti-necro system (Reported [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/83023-replies-disabled-in-contest-admin-thread-repost/ooc#post-2807820]here[/url])
	- [Bug] Fix the Guild for people with only numbers in their username (Reported [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/79919-it-seems-that-the-user-control-panel-is-out-of-order/ooc]here[/url])
	- Investigate any causes of downtime since I've been gone. I need to figure out the main causes of downtime and figure out any major bugs that caused them.

Can anyone illuminate some of the main issues you've had during my leave? Those are the kinds of things I want to tackle.

I'm looking forward to catching up with this thread. :sun

It's wonderful to have you back. Personally, I've been keeping up with the data management and vulnerability of the Guild. Since you left, we've had two major down spikes, which appeared to be DDoS attacks, and one minor one, which could range from an attack to a server error. I did some research into the matter and came to the conclusion that it was either an attack or a major server error, but figured it was more likely the former. I spoke with those in the IRC of my findings, and kept them updated whenever downtime occurred, so they could let those who came to find out the issue, but also told them that there would be no way to be sure until you returned.
