First of all, we apologize for the enormously big downtime, and it will continue like this for now.
If you are reading this, welcome to one of The Green Spirit, Inc.'s servers! This one in particular will be used to host Spirit Account's webgames.
What are we doing now?
We're going back to it. Stay tuned.
If you remember the "new projects" that we mentioned, we've recently started a project on Club Spirit, our very own CPPS! Based on AS3 Club Penguin, not only we will support the Flash version, but also a first in the CPPS community: Mobile support!
As of August 2026, fast developments have been made, and we hope to get this released soon! If you want to learn more, please join our Discord server below.
Why is it down, anyway?
Presumably around early June, a confusing series of events occurred with our hosting provider. It appears that our server was hacked, possibly due to a leaked SSH key from one of our teammates, although we couldn't determine which SSH key was used. As a result, all data on the server was lost, including the Spirit Account source code, the accounts, applications, and the application user IDs which is used to identify user data in 3rd party apps. Additionally, whoever carried out the attack may also be in possession of the entire source.
Rubbing more salt in the wound, all internal server backups were deleted by Switch Compagnie's ("SC") backup provider around the same time this happened, so we weren't able to recover anything that we mentioned above.
What will happen to the future of Spirit Account?
Nickolas, who I mentioned at the start, has managed to save the entire source because he had been making weekly backups. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the database itself, even though it was supposed to be set up a long time ago. Though, Spirit Account would certainly be over if the codebase had never been backed up. Though you can throw tomatoes at me because I never considered backing up anything.
We've rehosted Spirit Account on a private domain, and our original plan was to make the long-awaited 2.0 update more usable for you players and bring it to you sooner or later. However, we've paused development due to personal decisions and temporarily shifting to new projects, as this whole thing impacts our daily lives and work by a lot.
Finally, SC is also making up for this by majorly improving the server infrastructure on their side, and we are grateful of it.
If you have questions, feel free to ask the 2 developers, @thegreenspirit (Green Spirit) and @pnickolas (Nickolas) on Discord (join our server below to find us more easily), and we're terribly sorry for all the loss caused with your game progress.
