-The first server (hardfought.org) is the master server where players must register their accounts. The other two remote servers sync the accounts from the main server (once per minute), therefore they don't allow registrations themselves. Configuration files (rcfiles) are not synced, however you can pull your rcfile from the main server to the remotes via the menu in the dgamelaunch menu on each remote server. There is a web-based rcfile editor here - [https://www.hardfought.org/nethack/rcedit/rcedit-dn36 https://www.hardfought.org/nethack/rcedit/rcedit-dn36] - it's recommended to use this initially to create your config, then pull your config file over to the other servers should you choose to play on them. State of challenges are synced across all servers.
+The first server (hardfought.org) was the master server where players registered their accounts; the other two remote servers synced the accounts from the main server (once per minute), and did not allow registrations themselves. Configuration files (rcfiles) were not synced automatically, but the dgamelaunch menu on each remote server could be used to copy the rcfile from the master server. There was also a web-based rcfile editor available at [https://www.hardfought.org/nethack/rcedit/rcedit-dn36 https://www.hardfought.org/nethack/rcedit/rcedit-dn36], which was the recommended way to create a configuration file. The state of challenges was shared between the servers.
