  New Server System!
  I spent all day yesterday restructuring the website so the game server is now hosted on my computer at home. This will solve all the problems with my webhost letting the servers go offline. :-) I am not upset with my host; they were pretty nice about hosting my games anyways, because normally they do not do that for clients and were making an exception.
  
  They were making the exception because the host I was with before (vistapages) allowed the game servers, and vistapages was bought out by hostMDS, which does not allow these game servers. But since vistapages did allow them, hostMDS kept allowing it. Apparently though my account kept being reverted back to default every time the server was restarted (or something like that, they were not telling my why it was happening), and every time I had to contact them to get it going again (usually taking 3-5 emails back and forth). It was really frustrating and I have been wanting to make this change for a while now but haven't because of the time I knew it would take.
  
  Having the server on my home computer really puts me back in control of server downtime. I am paying for a pretty good speed internet right now so I don't think you guys will be unhappy with the network lag. My games always have a lot of network lag anyways because they are coded so improperly 🙄
  
  I had to go through a lot of very very old code and make a lot of changes and now I am afraid there are more bugs then ever. I will try to go through and correct some bugs this month, with a focus on the main Chip N Dales game.

    There are a couple of glitches mentionned in the game discussion, the topic in which you talk about that. Please, put the sprite uploader after that list.
    
    1)Character changing system
    2)Ability to enter numbers other than 1 and 2 (Note that this one isn't so bad because at the worst, a world developper that wants to go to their world could ask me and I could modify their account loading data so it'd be at the beginning of their world (Yes, I learned that in Users Editor...))
    3)Ability to save Worlds/Houses
    4)Be sure that the server stays. Sometimes it's off but it only lasts a couple of minutes
    5)New players start in tutorial world
    6)Sprite Uploader
    7)Other glitch that will be discovered
    8)Suggestions
    
    Let's rejoice that the server is back up after more than 5 months!
