"Crackers" : I love the biscuits, not the idiots

Written by steet :



 As you probably heard, someone has found a way to do nasty things on the site, and call himself/herself a "cracker".

That person (or should I name it, "idiot"), began to change passwords and profile information from some moderators accounts. I've been making changes on the site to prevent this, although it's not always easy to find out where the "problem" comes from. I have still some protections to add, but I think it's over now.

From what I could gather, that idiot got ahold of Zekee's old administrator account, and used the forums admin panel to do these stupid things. Obviously I have removed that account, but before I did it, that person deleted several accounts, which are all moderators.

I'm calling this way of acting "stupid", because I have backups and can restore anything. So I have restored all of the deleted accounts, but I also changed the passwords, just in case.

So, if you have a problem and can't connect to your account anymore : send me an email, so that I can solve the problem and/or communicate you the new password.

In a general way : if you have any problem, with your account or anything, just send me an email or PM so that I can study and find solutions. It can take some time, but I always answer and take your opinion into account.

There are always solutions. As long as you talk. Something that idiot has probably forgotten along the way...

Wow.. this certainly does bring back memories. I remember reading this before I became a member, when I just hung around the site hidden.

Philip Butcher - that comment was stupid and pointless, like the actions that the "Cracker" did on the site. Not to be mean, but there's a saying that goes look before you leap". Which in this case means "Think before you say anything". Like Steet said, that was "pointless and offensive".
Steet - Thanks for making the site just a bit safer so that idiot "Cracker" can't do it that easily again!

Thanks Steet. I hope the 'Cracker' is caught and banned. You are really good with this kind of stuff so I'm sure you can do it. :P Hope the cracker isn't going to delete non-moderator accounts. i just have to hope. ;)

Philip bucher => Making a comment like this is pointless and offensive, if you don't give the reason(s) for saying this.
As I said, I'm ready to listen to what everyone has to say, but I'm not ready to listen to aggressive comments.

If I would of known about it, I would of helped them do it. Well, I don't know anything about hacking, but still, it would have been awesome if he or she tore up the entire fricken site.
