Forum and Forum Templates

[Dave Baumann]

The forum will be a bit plain and only the default template will be available for a while.

Someone (from Brazil) is hacking into our server and periodically spawning processes (including DOS attacks) so I'm trying to go through and see if there are any security holes. One potential hole was the old version of the forum we were using so I've had to update to the latest. In doing so I've had to remove all the templates. Given that, I'm sure you can appreciate, things are a little busy for me right now I'm not sure when I'll be able to get everything back to normal.

Make sure you share the troublemaker's ID & IP with us so we can all express our appreciation properly.

Thanks, I couldn't put me finger on what was different.

Its pascal. He is just trying to get everyone to fold for B3D.

I was thinking the same thing.

BTW, if nothing else, I hope you have a backup of the site/forum somewhere else.

No wonder the site has been slow.... I hope you kick his ass good.

Most definitely appreciate it

The site has been super fast for me, no complaints. It would suck though if PMs were compromised :?

Yeah, please. It'd be sooo nice to have his details...

Remember, just because someone is coming from such and such an IP doesn't mean its there's. If they're any good it certainly won't be.
