Hey folks,
Recently we've been getting suspicious activity on our Uploads form, so we've taken Uploads offline for the time being. If you have any levels or content you'd like uploaded to MarbleBlast.com, please contact us via Skype or email.
In addition, we've identified a security issue with the Windows version of the MBP 1.50 launcher, specifically allowing the entire Java 7 library root access to computer systems, which may lead to compromised computers should the user be infected with rogue malware awaiting raised user privileges to unleash its payload. To those users that are on Windows clients, we strongly recommend you run an antivirus scan and malware scan to ensure file integrity before running the Marble Blast Launcher.
We will be uploading a new Marble Blast Launcher for Windows shortly that fixes this issue and installs Marble Blast Platinum to a new location (<user>/AppData/Local/roaming/Marble Blast Platinum) WITHOUT administrative rights (meaning it will run without raised privileges). We also strongly recommend all users update to Java 7 u67 (or Java 8 if applicable) and uninstall any existing versions of Java to ensure maximum security on your computer systems.
Thanks,
~Aayrl
More secure than PQ!

Someone else couldn't get off his high guy so you're seeing me update instead of him.
First off the server crashed twice, firstly it was our host's servers (from what my fellow staff tell me) and then it was our server which PQ'd horribly. We lost the 1081 hours and 5 minutes uptime.
The main news is that we recently upgraded our website to support SSL (the lock icon is so awesome), so your login and other things are now extra secure. If you get any problems, let us know.
