Hey, CPPPSHQ!
TheCPPS has recently temporarily closed, and boy, what an action-packed event it was! Anyway, I’m guessing many of you know Tybone10, Chai, and Kelly from the CPPS TheCPPS. Tybone10 and Kelly were developers, while Chai had the rank name of “main owner”.
I’ve interviewed Tybone10, Chai, and Kelly on the unexpected closure. TheCPPS was using an edited version of the popular iCPPS source. Now, Tybone10, Kelly, and Chai were all friends. Tybone had trust in Kelly’s ability to program and create, so he gave Kelly root access to the servers of TheCPPS.
Like what Tybone had expected from Kelly, she went to work on the source being used by the popular CPPS. Kelly successfully created puffle handlers for the source. After this, the thought that went through the developer’s head was about how strict the iCPPS source. It was hard to work with, and made to only be used a certain way. In result, Kelly went to Tybone10 to request permission to instead use a source that she was working on, which she had named CPSE (Club Penguin Server Emulator).
Now, here is where it begins to get more escalated. According to Tybone10, the thought that was going through his mind was that to use CPSE as the server’s source would be a great improvement. This thought was caused by the fact that it was believe that the CPSE source would make the game faster, and have more stable features. After this, Kelly uploaded and Tybone configured the CPSE source for TheCPPS.
Now, here is where the conflict starts to escalate. So you see, CPSE brought some bugs and glitches into TheCPPS, due to the fact that it wasn’t at all finished. Tybone10 immediately had his attention brought to these when users on TheCPPS began to get randomly banned by the server. This was immediately brought to Kelly so she could fix it.
I was online the night that this was happening, talking to Kelly about CPPS.me’s incredible array of developers, and the bugs that were on TheCPPS. However, I had no idea what was going on behind-the-scenes for the two developers.
”I think it’s the hearbeat1 spam protection system I made. Two heartbeats can’t happen with less than 45 seconds between the time they occured. If it does happen, the user will get immediately banned.” This quote was from Kelly on the night that I was talking about in the last paragraph.
The next day is where the action broke free. According to Kelly, more bugs kept coming into the source as she was fixing other ones. Kelly was frustrated because she couldn’t figure out what the cause was. In Private Chat, as she was chatting with Tybone, kelly says that he admitted that he was continously sabotaging the source because he didn’t want CPSE.
Now, before you get yourselves worked up, Tybone and Chai fully deny Kelly’s claim. It turned into a debate, though it was an impass because neither side had proof to support their claims. The truth of what happened is only known by Tybone and Kelly (fortunately, the debate ceased before it got too out of hand).
Anyway, after the time that this rumored private chat between Tybone and Kelly happened, Kelly’s frustration got out of hand. This was because Tybone had stoped using the CPSE source and switched back to the old iCPPS source that TheCPPS used before. Kelly had decided to talk to Tybone, but instead she decided to do something else.
Kelly removed all the files from the site, leaving a closure message in the index’s place. She also removed the database, though she had backups of both the database and the files. Tybone10 and Chai say that they are working on bringing TheCPPS back, and there is now a check back later message on its homepage. However, before the debate stopped, there was another blow that took place.
Kelly publicly posted a leak of TheCPPS’s database and source for the whole world to see. Tybone10′s comment was that it’s not like they would use that old database when TheCPPS was back, and they didn’t care so much. Anyway, this once again brings up an internet safety tip: never use the same password twice.

1: For those of you who are unfamiliar to the word “heartbeat” on CPPSes, a heartbeat is a packet automatically sent by the server. It will update your account in the database with how it is as you are logged in. Whenever you put on a brand new clothing item, it doesn’t immediately get put into the database. There generally has to be something that causes the server to realize it’s not up-to-date on information.
I’m 11 and yet I understand all of this! :O Why the hell would Kelly do that?!
If you look from Kelly’s prespective, Tybone was ignoring her a lot while she was putting in hard work. Then he simply removed all Kelly’s work. There are multiple ways that you can look at this from, yours obviously included.
Uhh… I never ignored Kelly for more than 10 minutes. I always apologized too when I went AFK without telling her. I also couldn’t wait to use CPSE. She must have took “I can’t wait to use this on TheCPPS” the wrong way. And I didn’t “remove” all of her hard work (like 3 handlers?).
I’m respecting both of your prespectives by putting them both in the post. I shall not choose a side to agree with.
Did I ask you to pick a side?
My point is that I don’t want you to continue the debate of what’s true or not in the comments of a CPPSHQ post.
How interesting.
Then don’t post false info. ” Tybone was ignoring her a lot while she was putting in hard work. Then he simply removed all Kelly’s work. ” If you post one view, post the other.
All info can pretty much be identified as false due to the lack of proof.
Also, it doesn’t matter if you ignored me or not, it was like you were.
And the only false about B00mX0r’s reply is the part of removing my work, you didn’t remove it you just didn’t use it.
Once again, this is not the place for debate. I feel that both prespectives have been successfully posted, and I shall not exaggerate them any more for a continuing argument.
Edit: For the last time, this post is meant to be informative, not start a debate or argument. If you want a debate, you won’t be having it here. Nobody wants to see your personal arguments. Your prespectives have been posted and said, and they shall not be exaggerated more for your benefit. As for the “well it’s false” comeback, I believe I’ve already said that there is no proof for this. This is the last time I’m saying this. Thank-you in advance for your co-operation.
Why give her root acess? That’s stupid and pointless, root should be disabled and you should have seperate users which are sudoers using key pair authentication instead of password authentication, it’s really not hard. Also, whilst TheCPPS was up I did an nmap of your servers and it was pretty clear that either you did not have any firewalls, or they were poorly configured, MySQL was open for a start. Now, I don’t get all this drama, just set up a team where 1 person develops, 1 person tests for bugs and 1 person fixes the bugs, everything will get done a lot quicker and then everyone will have something to do. If you can’t co-operate as a team, what hope is there for the CPPS?
I said “Don’t post false info” not “well it’s false”. and I am just stating if you want to become better at posting then don’t post one story and not the other in comments.
But who is she to just remove the database and files out of frustration? She’s not the server owner, only a system admin according to this post. In my opinion I’d have to blame the server owner for this one, there should have been restrictions in place to prevent her from even having the ability to even cause so much damage. It’s a shame…
NOW I HAVE TO RE REGISTER! DANG IT KELLY *FACEPALM* (don’t laugh at me, tybone10)
There’s a CPPS called Summyt! It’s a copy of TheCPPS, summyt.net/play/
I liked thecpps
I can tell you a lot of information is false, but I’m pretty sure me and him would disagree on which pieces of it are wrong.
Kelly was also going to do this to CPPS.me, for a new source for it. I warned Chai that she has said this on the xat chat. Matt and her were working together the whole time. And Kelly was always going to do this, she was never Tybone’s friend
I really admit it everyone. I’m gonna be honest this time. I really did delete those files. I didn’t like them and i thought they sucked and I did ignore you. All the way through and I was also banning everyone for no reason. =(
hey i wanted to know why my cppsisnt workingis it because of this BANNED server or is it just my pc i meanlike when i press play on cpps.me the page goes blank i dont understand?
