i had 8000+ points on hts... decided to do an IRC challenge and lost all of my points. im not down to 10 it still displays that i've completed all the challenges that i've completed thus far on hts, yet my points are not reflected here. possibly the IRC challenges in hackthissite are overwriting the score thats submitted here? no clue. any ideas?

Same thing happened to me. I hit the 'Update' button for HTS a second time (in my account section here at WeChall) and all the points came back. I haven't done another IRC challenge there because of it. Something is odd about the way those challenges interface with WeChall.

Well, that happened to me too. And I cant get it back. I tried unlinking and linking again and it doesnt work

Same thing happened here. I logged out of HTS, logged in again, updated account on WeChall. Fixed

Seems the site is experiencing some problems.

Set status to "temporarily down".

Looks like it is back up again.

Thanks for the info, set site to "up & running" again!

Ok, there's something weird regarding the number of people that just reached 100% on HackThisSite. Including me, although I still have a few unsolved challenges on the website. Script issue ?

Well, decide who is to blame: HTS reports wrong stats, WeChall doesn't care about it.

Acc. to HTS, you have achieved 7308/6713 points, e.g.

From my side, just can tell that I'm a little desperate about https://hackthissite.org/. The simple fact is, that I started writing to the Staff on 21st Aug 2018. . From the 7 emails sent them, no one ever answered... Fact is that I'm not able to login. 7 detailed emails (explaining). But never got an answer I'd like just to get my account back there. Dunno how... (quite drunk right now > sorry 'bout that)

Using the forgot password function says, it sent it (for username: "occasus" w/o quotes. On chall-sites I've 1 email for all. The other 2 are not used in the ctf and or chall context. In any case all 3 email accounts do not get any email from hts.org (obviously checking spam, etc. too).

Btw, clicking here&there, in the navbar the item "Groups" I clicked on join nearby "HackThisSite" > what happens (or should happen) from now on?

Sorry for this late response, but i obviously was drunk all weekend.

If HTS would abbonement their site's forum on WC, they would got another mail to ignore?

Kiddings aside.. the IRC is pretty calm for HTS too, but some people hang around.

I will try to contact them.

Heya, thanks for letting us know about the broken API link. It's getting worked on now, but may take some time because the old method sucks and I'd rather switch it to a new one instead.

As for the emails, staff@ gets a lot of spam so it's got pretty high sensitivity and it's possible it got lost. As for not receiving emails from us, I'm not sure why since our Spamhaus and other ratings are great. I looked up the email associated to that username and it's a Microsoft service, which we have notoriously had difficulty with. If you can, hop on our Discord (https://hacked.chat) and DM me and I'll try to get it sorted for you.
