3FS Eats Server Alive!
Just a quick update everyone. With all the new traffic from the contest my host had a bit of an issue that were were eating their server CPU alive, I have disabled the blog registration (i think that was part of the problem – and alot of spammers were hitting it). So I think that we might be ok for now. I am going to monitor the server as best I can, and the host will surely contact me if there is something else on the site that needs a little bit of optimization.
Blogs won’t be going away – as long as I can keep them online. Registration however might be changed to a request for a blog and me creating your blog for you, rather then having it open to the world to spam the blog creation page and cause chaos. Worst case scenario I might consider upgrading the hosting to some newer plans I have been looking at – but that does of course come with an increased cost so we will see.

This is peculiar. I have found five icons, but only four achievements. Are some of the achievements in multiple places?
I’m pretty sure that the review hint doesn’t exist.
it is there, i validated it earlier today, and i have seen a list of people who have found it.
and lifeforce – at least on this site i can validate that all 5 achievements are hidden and all go to their respective links, there should not be any duplicates.
Hmmm. I’ve found 4 of the 5 (the “review our pages” clue is the only one I haven’t found, which peeves me because I think I know where the clue is supposed to lead me but I’m not seeing it). But anyway, I’ve double-checked the 4 that I’ve found but my list is saying I’ve only found 3. I’ll try them all one more time, but I have a feeling I’ll get the same result. I’m confuzzled.
Clue 1 and 5 are leading me to graphics that have the same number in the link and that’s why I’m coming up with only 3 finds. I think the glitch must be with Clue 5′s graphic.
Perhaps my account on UTA is broken or something, because even though I’ve found five symbols that seem to match with the clues and have clicked them all, they all result in “you have already unlocked this secret achievement” messages and I only have 4 out of 5 achievements for this website.
Also, I just double checked what agentalpo said and I agree with him. That’s assuming that we managed to discover where clue 5 is. Maybe we both just horribly missed it.
@LifeForcer – i can check your data later today in the UTA site
@agentalpo – i will double check the links but there are others who have all ready gotten all 5 achievements here at 360friendspot.
I’m running into similar problems. all but 3 and 5. My first thought for clue three is to go to the “create a blog thing” which says “Registration has been disabled.”… ok (you said we could be anonymous so I was prob in the wrong place there), keep searching and I find another blog type thing, but the link is the same as it is for clue 1. And about clue 3 (“review the pages”)… well, I’m probably blind.
This is a good site btw. And the 3 I found were not nearly as bad as others. Which is good, cause currently I hate OXM, gaming truth and a few other sites for making it absurd.
@LifeForcer you are missing #5, im not sure where you are going to see the same link, but its probably not the location the hint is trying to point you to.
@LifeForcer & @agentalpo email me at squidpunch@gmail.com if you want to discuss it in more detail so I am not spoiling it for anyone – you can send me the links you are using so i can validate what is going on, but all 5 links are valid and unique, there are people in the contest that have gotten all five, and I personally just checked all 5 links to make sure they were not duplicated where the actual achievement is.
to remove some confusion, i have updated the hints a bit
Hey Squid whihc one am I missing cause i’ve found all links and only getting four
okay no it seems that a link is missing i was sure i came across five before actually six since there used to be on on this page that didnt work but whatever
hey never mind squid
Ah, finally managed to get it with the updated #5 hint.
