Ok, there is a strong need for some explanation here:

That conversation posted is real but incomplete. Glass and Arron were asking me about what requirements there were for setting up a server, my answer was that I’ll need to think about it. I started asking some questions about what was planned, focussing on what was relevant for me to know first.

To move the security issue out of the way first: I helped Glass set up a private server. When they asked about making that public I wanted to know about the target audience and advertisement first before making any judgement at all. I asked Arron some of this in private chat before, but recieved no response. I realize saying “but that’s your choice” was a mistake, but it was meant as an acknowledgement of a plan, not a “sure do whatever you want”.

There is some of the conversation missing in that screenshot, in which it became apparent that they wanted to develop the server further and some info on which contry they come from which I can understand why that part wasn’t posted. Then at 14:40 (Timzone of the screenshot) I wrote that I had to go, which I did, with the conclusion that Glass wanted to ask more questions, to which I said he could write them in chat and I would read them later.

I’ve not been on my PC until just now, and am quite sad to register these events.

To make it absolutely clear: From my point of view, I DID NOT give any kind of permission to open a public server. They asked for requirements but did not await a definite answer and decision. Me being friendly does not me I agree to anything.

Furthermore, I specifically discourage anybody to set up or join any such public server before a set of requirements has been written down and agreed upon by developers (@Jon002, myself, …), moderators (@HappyAngryCatfish, @Knightoffaith) and experts (@Live) as of now.

This means that Glass & Arron have neither permission nor blessing by any of us to make their server public at this point.

Finally, they have told me that @Prodigy_XD offered and confirmed to be able to hack Egmo’s database. This is just disgusting, no need to say anything else.
