Yes, I ran t1zone.sh.

So I re-downloaded the t1zone.sh, t1zone.conf and gettld.sh files through the 
built-in updater within that script, assuming that that was the correct 
procdure, considering there was nothing about any new scripts on the wiki.

I also ran the Tier1/2 test script on my server and everything checked out. I 
still could not quite put my finger on what exactly was supposed to be wrong, 
if the Tier1 checker found everything was ok. So my server was supposedly ok, 
just not "ok".

It was about here that I realised the Wiki was out of date, and that a lot of 
people here probably depended on it. I was using the script(s) as per their 
own and the Wiki instructions. I do not remember if you pointed to the newer 
scripts here, so I ran the t1zone.sh updater again, twice. And tested, 
several times.

This is when I started to lose my faith in the project.

I had decided then that I had lot all faith in the project and that it was 
not going anywhere. Fueled on a bit by Peter Green's resignation in the 
project, who I thought was a big contributor, with a major infrastructure 
change such as this without notice (as someone else pointed out), it was very 
trying.

So are you indicating that:
http://www.opennicproject.org/t2log/test.php
is no longer accurate or reliable for testing a server? If not, who is in 
charge of maintaining that program?
