TL;DR version:
YourFunWorld offers to register US copyright for AssaultCube Reloaded.
I suggest that they run a server or play the game, which helps to solve one of the largest current problems.
They are setting up a server for us, but because I am running the server, it'll be the official server.

Dear Victor,

I realize that we have so far not come into good terms.. We would like to make amends and somehow support you in some way. We as YourFunWorld Studios, would like to pay for a full fledged legal copyright in the name of Victor Zheng. We understand this costs about $35 for the US copyright alone as seen on: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-register.html

If you are interested in allowing us to make up for what we have done, we ask you to please reply.

Best Regards,

YourFunWorld Studios

Dear Brandon Fairing:

We have locked the thread because the issue has been resolved. However, we shall not delete it because the readers have the right to know about events concerning AssaultCube Reloaded.

I have decided to decline the offer. Copyright registration makes it easier in court, but it is not required to be protected by copyright. If you would like to support AssaultCube Reloaded, I suggest that you play it or, even better, run a server. One of the largest problems that AssaultCube Reloaded experiences is the lack of servers, which contributes to a lack of players.

Best Regards,

Victor Zheng

Dear Victor,

Here is something you didn't know about YourFunWorld Studios, we actually have a parent company which is a hosting company. The website however was at the time using a home connection due the servers not running Linux at the time, but not that we got all our servers using Linux we would be glad to to help ACR out. How many servers do you need, I'll send you the SSH information soon. Look forward to hearing back from you.

Best Regards,

YourFunWorld Studios

Dear Victor,

As you probably noticed I made some minor typos in my last email.. "but not that we got all our servers using Linux" should have been "but now that we got all our servers using Linux"

Dear Brandon,

For starting, I think one server would be good. I'll include a message about YourFunWorld Studios in the extended server info. Will the IP be static? If so, I can make this one the official server (with an A record in play.acr.victorz.ca).

Thank you for deciding to provide a 24/7 server.

Best Regards,

Victor

He says the IP will be static, and they're delayed because they are "converting some of the Linux nodes".

Dear Victor,

I'm so sorry for the delay.. I recently got my gaming PC upgraded so I was unable to email you the information..

Here is the information.. You will have up to 1GB of RAM and a dedicated IP just for you. Smile
Server Information:

Server IP: [redacted for privacy reasons]
SSH Port: 22 [duh!]
Your Dedicated IP is: 199.15.114.50 [not redacted because you will see it in the server-list]

Username is: [I'm not stupid enough to post this]
Temporary password is: [No really, I'm not]

Please change it using the command "passwd".

Best Regards,

YourFunWorld Studios
This is great to hear. I'm glad we've managed to get something up and running as a 24/7 server.
Well, don't count your chickens before they hatch. They still haven't sent the SSH info.
Well... I don't know...I mean....What if this is a backhanded revenge attempt?
Why would they do it?WTF I wouldnt do it if I was Brandon Whateverheslastnamewas.Just another lie in my opinion!
Well, I don't see how they could do anything harmful to us. They could be trolling and they might not actually do it.

If they do it, they really can't do anything bad to us. The won't get passwords and stuff because the official server doesn't need passwords when we can auth via the master-server.

They said they'll have it done by today. I've added the message to the original post.

All right, they've sent the info. I'm going to start setting it up.

There was a long outage, but the server is back!
