Poor fellas.... they posted a message up saying they got hacked, and that they're currently under the control of a hacker. They'll be reinstalling the forums right about now....
gotta feel for them.

touch wood.. i think sensational-adelaide should be safe from any vbulletin exploits because we don't run it. but i worry about my other forums now.

Is there anyway we can protect this site?

yeah, by not using PHPBB!
or at least not allow guests to post
make registration mandatory and require confirmation/authentication email.

Skyscraper forum uses VBB. But phpbb's been known for a few exploits, i'll update it asap.
or at least not allow guests to post
make registration mandatory and require confirmation/authentication email.
I thought about that, the reason i left it empty initially was because i wanted ppl to contribute without feeling that they have to sign up... but now that it's picking up, and for the benefit of other members in keeping this place a d-head free zone... i'll reenable mandatory registration (was about to write detention for some reason lOL).
Thanks for the feedback tayser.. much appreciated
