oh don't worry about the points! they're connected to a database, which is a huuuugeee program full of all our data. I'm sure fizz knows how to backup a database ezpz. you should be the one to ask him to join. he seems to like responding to you

yeah that's about right. You know who can easily hack into PM's computer? Fizz. Fizz works in cyber security, which means he knows about weaknesses that are exploitable. We can send Fizz to hack into the servers, and then he can make a backup of the site, servers and databases, and then he can DESTROY IT and then boot it up at his house to make himself Super Admin. We need to recruit him as part of our mission.

to add, db headquarters is just PM in the meme sense. It's been a mild ongoing joke that we need to take over pdb. thats what you saw lol. feel free to join the nonexistent raid

everything.
As for all the db headquarters thing, there is no literal headquarters, it’s a small website run by single dude. The closest thing to a headquarters would be his home, and as I want to do it, storming pm’s house would probably cause more problems than solving em

Long answer: The website itself is probably run off a VPS (virtual private server), which is a virtual device that uses a small % of an actual physical server's resources to run. There's no headquarters in a literal sense.
It's hard to know much more because the site uses Cloudflare, which is a CDN (content delivery network) that sits between the user and where the site is "originally" hosted. CDNs distribute the content of the website to many places in the world so it can be served to you faster.
Short answer: Pokemaster pays a web hosting provider to serve the website, plus Cloudflare to make copies of it in many places to make it faster.

my new grav is cool! it's 3997 transparent pixels and then three red ones, so it looks like there is a grav but the space where the grav would be is just blank.
