API feeds and spy op upload are no longer available for ghqnet.com. Players are no longer permitted to link to it on any Earth Empires property. This change was done for two reasons:

1) ghqnet.com previously stored plain text passwords for user accounts and many Earth Empires game accounts were accessed using those passwords after ghqnet.com was hacked. This impacted the integrity of the game and resulted in a lot of clean up work for the moderators and administrators.

2) A disgraced former clan is using it as a platform to make untrue, disgusting statements towards the game admins, moderators, and even the average player. The ghqnet admins are aware of it and do not view this as a violation of their terms of service. We will not deliberately drive traffic to a website that publicly hosts such material.

We urge all ghqnet.com users to find a replacement hosting solution in order to protect their personal information and the integrity of the game.

I get the security point, truly do, but some warning would have been nice.

Honest players who worked hard on setting things up are being punished as well. A more limited/phased approach could perhaps have been just as effective?

I have no problem with restoring API access to ghqnet.com if the security issues in point 1 are addressed and the offensive content in point 2 is removed. The ghqnet admins have declined to do so. I understand that you're more of a FFA player and may feel that you are being punished due to the actions of alliance players, but this is one of the risks you take when using an external site. ghqnet.com could simply be taken off the internet tomorrow and there's nothing that the game admins could do about it.

Do you have any information on getting Boxcar back up? Or who to contact?

Everything can do done through Discord, there is Zero need for GHQ.

We built our Alliance based off Discord, there are some great coders out there that want to modernize the game. You can even war successful on Alliance with a warbot.
