The next morning:
That was a fun discussion but ooooh I was tired! (late at night for me)
I can now see more clear that you are using the tool to access said story (to what I agree, it is a story) in a different way.
Maybe the best road to success in this situation is to alert Nevrax that you made the story more accessible to other parties in a way not anticipated and thus changes to that way arent communicated either.
And with 3rd party (pet peeve
I mean not written by Nevrax and thus not their problem. I am not implying anything about violations of contracts, I would make a huge, amuzing and exxagerated comparison about that too. 
So my final point (opinion) in this, having looked at all the heated arguments we made:
Yes, changes in the software that impact the way players are experiencing the story should be communicated.
True, broken logfiles are of no use to anyone.
But when looking at all elements in your specific situation, your initial anger was a bit over the top.
Also seeing you rewrote your application fast and that is a lot of unpaid effort, I take a bow.

/tell Mithaldu hey, about logfiles and tools and stuff, take a look at Prunes' logfile analysers. He wrote about them in the Ryzom Wiki (link in sig).
