Bossland's Tank Leader bot is having the same exact issues guys so chill out, they are working on the issues. It seems to me that they are having issues with auth server(s)(I have no idea how many they have). Most likely, all of Bossland's bots run off the same auth servers. Just a guess on my part.
But nonetheless, everybody try to stay calm please! I promise you they are working on it.
I promise you, the reason you see Tony locking threads is because he is tired of seeing thread upon thread being started about it when he has already stated that the team is aware of the problem. I don't have a link to that thread but it was in a massive font size.
