Hello, all!
Below are the results of the 2021 Christmas Quiz, which if you have not checked out, the form is still open. We would like to thank everyone who participated and a special thanks to those who submitted corrections!
WINNER: Graham, with 28 points
Scores
Additionally, in the spoiler below, you may find all of the correct answers.
1. Name all former members of the Rune-Server Official Server development team
This question in particular is not only difficult to answer, but realistically, we probably should have rephrased it as I am sure even we do not quite have each and every single iteration down. However, below is a rough timeline of some of the eras:
Getting a point required at least three names. An additional bonus point was given to Graham for having the largest number of correct names.
2. List all domain names Rune-Server has had over its history
3. Name a forum theme Rune-Server had other than the current themes
4. Name a prominent feature that disappeared from the Rune-Server header after the vBulletin 4 migration
The intended answer for this question was "Did you know?". But webmail/email, pastebin, and the various databases were also valid answers.
5. Which two users infamously claimed to have successfully bruteforced the XTEA keys used to encrypt maps?
The original intended answers were @Richard1992 and @Lmctruck30. However, as Graham pointed out, Light232 also made similar claims. All three users are valid answers, getting a point required two out of the three.
6. Complete the following: "A whole class just to _____ a database? ____ ___ __ ____ ______ _____.____ hence ___."
A: A whole class just to mange a database? this can be done though server.java hence Md5.
