I don't understand why you two would find that funny (I bet you wouldn't be laughing if it were one of your sites that was attacked like that...), but in case you haven't heard, it's back up now.  Anyway, welcome.

If my forum got hacked I'd dump it and start all over, to me it's no big deal. My forum sucks anyways .....(yers is a whole lot better than mine) I dont understand why everytime ya turn around some wank can break into to a forum that easily and beat the crud out of it. Where's the security? I'd ask for a refund  if it's that easy for someone to hack it. just ranting MHO....sorry.

[Kazari]

I don't have a site LOL. Glad it's up now.

Exactly. I dont mind starting over. So what? It's just a forum, it can be refreshed. Nothing like starting from scratch! Sometimes it helps clear everything!  There's no security on the net..no matter how hard you try LOL

That's easy for you two to say since you're not talking about throwing away over four years' worth of posts and members over some idiot hacker.  I don't know about you, but I would never let the hacker have the satisfaction of "winning" that easily, all while asking nearly 2000 members to sign up again.  Besides, restoring the database was not much of a problem at all.  The main problems were working with the tech support and rebuilding everything while plugging any possible security holes.  I wasn't even complaining about being hacked in the first place, I was complaining that people were laughing about it, which is very rude and uncalled for after the trouble I went through.

Prior to this, The Technodrome Forums have never been hacked in nearly 6 years of being online.  As long as you keep your forum software up to date, use strong passwords, and have a host who keeps their server software up to date, it's actually difficult to break into a forum.  Both the hacking and the virus were actually attacks on the server themselves (not attacks on the site), so the hackers didn't care who they targeted.  And both of them were caused by flaws with the security of the host's servers, which was something that was completely out of my hands.  I did learn from my mistake, though, and will be inquiring about server security before signing up with any more hosts from now on.

I'd ask for a refund  if it's that easy for someone to hack it. just ranting MHO....sorry.

I did get a full refund from that host after cancelling my account.

[Kazari]

Honestly. I wasn't quite fond of the people there. That's why I moved on. I'm quite happy with what I have now. I really like this forum *nods*

...I still don't see how that justifies such rude behavior.  It's not my fault that you can't get along with the people there.  Besides, when most people "move on," they generally forget about the place, not continue to visit, then laugh when the place has problems.  Anyway, I don't want to argue here, so if you want to continue this discussion, let's please take it off the forums.

[Kazari]

I never said I was arguing..I was making a statement. I haven't been to the Drome in months now. Last time I went there I got a virus.

Ok, fair enough, I was just wondering why you acted so rudely in the first place considering there was no discussion whatsoever about The Technodrome in this thread until your comment.  But like I said, that's something that is better settled off the forums.

Last time I went there I got a virus.

Up until this point, it seemed like you were agreeing to drop it, but again, this was uncalled for.  I have mentioned many times, both here and elsewhere, that the virus was a result of a server attack, was completely out of my hands, was taken care of as soon as possible, and hasn't been a problem since September.  There's no reason to bring up things like that unless you're trying to start an argument, which I have neither the time nor patience to participate in.  I kindly ask that you stop bashing my site/forums, which is against the rules here anyway.

[Kazari]

Okay you're the one saying that I'm bashing the forums. All I am doing is making legitmate statements. I simply jokingly asked Buslady if the Drome died since she said a lot of people were coming here. I moved away from the Drome to get away from all this fighting and accusations. Enough is enough. I'm done.

[Mily]

Oh, whoa, no more arguing... I wanna welcome Buslady because I know her off DA!!! Hi!!! Post some of your art in the artwork forum! I posted stuff in there that is NOT on DA, Anyway, have fun here, usually there is a very minimal amount of arguing and disagreements... well from what I've seen anyway,

[Buslady]

I did get a full refund from that host after cancelling my account.

good glad you got your $$ back.

all right kids, lets stop arguing, complaining, etc...end of topic. now let's all kiss and make up...but i aint kissin a little pink blob...  

[Lady Mew2]

Sorry for not saying hi Buslady. Welcome to the TMNT-L. *Bows*

*Gives Buslady a Just my size Raph Figure.*

[OnnaRaphael]

*waves*  

I wave even though you have NO idea who I am!  Woot!  But I've been ridiculously active here in the past two days.  o_O  Weird considering I generally am scared of forums.
