Also the login page seems to have a big space on the top.

Yeah. It got fixed by itself, or Flare checked the forums and fixed it. I have no idea what happened.

Yup, it's fixed now. That was annoying.

I was just spammed with exception errors ... but was still able to login. Yeah it's fixed now

... was quite disturbing having to scroll down several pages just in order to see what's up in the forums lol ...

Yes, well those errors were cause by someone who, assuming hacked the forums. He, or she... well, mostly he, edited a substantial amount of files on our server and added some malicious code to those files.

I managed to delete some of the code, unfortunately not all, because it's really, really a lost of it.

Mostly the base of it was a hidden frame referring an external site, which contains, god knows what....

Thank you, who ever you are... I hope you burn in hell or something worse...

I kind sort dislikes on phpBB and hosting servers...

Too many fatal errors and terrorzied by hallow-minded hackers.

that's just because it's too commonly used (and mostly ppl forget to update it) ... but it's allways quite leaky and the more mods are applied to it it turns more and more into security cheddar. I tend to not use phpbb coz the source is somewhat public due how widely it spreaded and so the hackers are allways one step ahead. Using leaks for hacking issues isn't hard, but finding and closing them is another story.

Just a note, they ain't hackers. Hackers test-run software security for any holes, and they are pretty much white hats. What you're looking for are crackers and script kiddies.

yeah that's right by definition but it's still called hacking ^^. And most of the ones the definition calls hackers, were badboned guys right before they're caught and employed by the big software companies too.

Kinda like how mercenaries and hitmen are caught and employed by the govt.

Just look through the CIA and FBI agent list and you may envounter some names that died due to general incompetence or car accidents or whatever if you believe in the news and papers. Actually they were just given a whole new identity and criminal database record ofcourse just because they're of greater use to the government than their crimes of any concern. It sometimes is indeed a bit creepy to know that there may be some "recovered" pedos and rapers running around without noone noticing, but hey it's a matter of national security so what

. Work in the agency must've gotten quite boring when they actually need to craft new enemies to hunt. Good that those Terrorists have gotten so active lately, so the agencies have to face ppl questioning their existence no longer. And now that they can't find nor fight the terrors efficiently they allways have enough to do and to silence those nasty voices in the behind. Those guys got damn straight luck if you ask me ^^.

Well, it's a chance nobody in their right mind would pass up on.
