It's great to come back and see such significant improvement

To help keep the TC up as much as possible, we have implemented a simple auto-restarting program. This will restart the TC within a few minutes of a crash. However, at this time we have no way of it detecting deadlocks.

Hang on.... if you have no way of detecting deadlocks, how does the IRC status bot know the server is deadlocked? Couldn't the same script that tells the IRC bot to change the display to DEADLOCKED be used to auto-reboot the server?

To be set deadlocked, a staff member must set it to say so.

I dunno if I'm they only one who has still hoped for this over all the other usual drama going on since the update, but I do still look forward to progress in this regard. I'd be much more likely to donate if I knew in more details how it could be used.

Just my thoughts,

I agree, I've also been looking for this information every day since the update. Increased financial transparency is important for a project of this scale. Hopefully the team will be able to supply donation information soon.

I just took over from Max. Please give me some time to get up to speed and catch up on all duties and responsibilities. This report may not be available for another few weeks.
