Title: Bad news for our forum
Post by: 2sanstef on May 12, 2009, 04:38:13 PM
I have found out the reason for the large number of error messages and the missing avatars and it ain't good. Some cyberbastard has hacked our forum and injected code into the files. This means that I need to completly re-install the forum on to the server and set it up again. Once I have done so avatars will be disabled until a software patch is available to remove this vulnerability.

Sorry guys you can keep on posting ftb and hopefully I won't lose all your data? but don't be suprised if we are off line for a few days.

If only I could get my hands on them I would...................well you know!

Why do people get such pleasure out of doing things like that.
Zoe if I was you just make sure your antivirus is up to date just to be on the safe side. You never know what such people will get up to next. >:(

Jules you do those little Merchant Bankers an injustice............ They are COMPETENT MORONS they have their Idiocy down to a fine art form. I think it is fair to say they have passed their DOPE test with flying colours... Pity they aren't BLACK & BLUE fading over time to a Violent PURPLE  [/color) before fading to a shade only to be described as BILE YELLOW. 
They live up to the stereotype of this day and age... If they want something someone else has they go and steal it....If they don't want it they smash it. Pick up the paper today and two people murdered for asking folk to be quiet. To me exactly the same ME ME ME motivation that too many people in Britain possess!           Rant Over !

how completely senseless!

don, you should start a political party. I suspect a lot of us would vote for you! It seems like we all agree with you on the idiot who has done this.(and just think of the expenses you could claim!)

Another thing I have noticed recently is when you look at whos on line and what they are looking at there is sometimes a guest and it says for them nothing or something you can't see. I thought it only said this for admin?

Don - Unfortunately the "Younger" Person was Zimmer, (LOL) and that puts you in a pickle!! (Apologies Zimmer - seemed a good one).

Kleptomania (also spelled 'cleptomania') (Greek: κλέπτειν, kleptein, "to steal", μανία, "mania") is the condition of not being able to resist the urge to collect or hoard things. People with this disorder are compelled to steal things, generally things of little or no value, such as Avatars. Some may not be aware that they have committed the theft. Put them back Don!!

Kleptomania was first officially recognized in the US as a mental disorder in the 1960s in the case of the state of California v. Don.
