Website and Event Page problems - Fixed!
Hello CF Community!
Today you may have noticed a slowdown in the website. We have discovered the problem and have been working to correct it all day.
The Event Page was part of the cause of the problems. We found that a lot of people have been very interested in the latest event, and why shouldn't they be! It's a ribbon!
We found that there was an exploit in the system however for some people who managed to take advantage of the lag and attempt to get the m66 handgun for more days than the event allowed.
AS A RESULT OF THIS, We have done 2 things.
First we have implemented a timer for checking the event page. You can only check the event page once every 30 minutes. Note that the event page updates once every 2 hours. This means that in general whenever you clicked on the page, the stats didn't change anyways. This change should further drive home the point that the event page is a place where you can go to see events, check your status and get the prize before we hand them out after the event. But it is not a place you can go in real time to claim your prize right after leaving the game.
In addition to this, we will be rolling back everyone's m66 handgun prize to 7 days. We will be doing this over the course of the next 6-12 hours.
What does this mean for you? It means that if you claimed your prize for the Conquistador ribbon and you won a m66 handgun you're going to get it reset to 7 days as of tonight. That means you actually got a little extra out of the Handgun! Good on ya! Now get in there and start kicking some you-know-what!!
It also means that if you exploited our system and managed to get the m66 handgun for more than 7 days that as of tonight you also will only have the handgun for 7 days. That means you got your prize from the event and you should be happy. Now go enjoy your ribbon and your shiny 7 Day Weapon.
Thanks everyone for their patience in this

Please note the event requirements.
You must have 6 people in your game by the time the game is over, and you must be in that game for at least 60 seconds (or be there at the time the game is over). -
