Hello everyone,

About a week ago the forums received an error and the forum was unusable becouse of this.
This was coused by the forum database beeing damaged and due to this we lost all user data from after the 22nd of november 2010.
Sadly we could not recover this so all users who have registerd between that time and now have lost their accounts.
If you are one of these users and wish to have a new account made for you email me "hunter649[at]gmail[dot]com" or Wi-Ta "wi-ta[at]gmx[dot]de" and we will get you setup as soon as we can.

Additionally we have temporarily dissabled new registrations becouse a large wave of spambots coused the crash in database.
This is only a temporarily solution and we will be making changes to solve this issue soon and reactivate user registration.

SWR Adminstration.

Fucking spambots. There's been quite a surge in their frequency lately.

2011 is apparently the year of the spambots according to the Chinese internet calendar. Fallout, SWR, ModDB, Transformice, our own Wiki, Spambots everywhere... <.<
