    Additionally, in the spoiler below, you may find all of the correct answers.

    Spoiler for 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:

    1. Xerox, Jukk, Olli, Wolfpack, Bezza, Guthan, Thiefmn6092, Dodian, Gander, Zachera, Mastav, Dan, Kevy, InzInz (Yes, even Kevy!)
    2. Peterbjornx, Graham, Scu11, Sean, Thiefmn6092, Blakeman8192, Arian, Cascade
    3. Lenin, Leanbow, Sir Dave, kLeptO, Galkon, Jeff


    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

    1. rs-server.net
    2. rune-server.ee
    3. rune-server.ee


    3. Name a forum theme Rune-Server had other than the current themes

    1. Satellite
    2. Misty
    3. Dark Fantasy
    4. Vision Green


    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.



    7. Name three discontinued forum ranks

    Any of the following three would have been valid answers:

    1. RSPS Cleaner
    2. ShoutBox Moderator
    3. Trial Moderator
    4. Executive Moderator
    5. Administrative Assistant
    6. Server Developer
    7. Global Moderators
    8. Sectional Moderator
    9. Supervisor

    22. The logo of which server was the recipient of seminal fluid in a fabled, scandalous video?
