iBotPeaches Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Our site got hacked and whole forum deleted, except our member "fattwam" saved the Lobby forum from being deleted. The user JOHN, didn't infact "hack us" just steal a password, since hes the worst kind of hacker. I regained control with the help of fattwam and we restored a 1month old backup. To prevent this, a cron job now does a backup daily, to prevent future hackings. The site is also being redone 1. e107 (content management system) will be deleted and restored w/ custom made template for only mods/apps etc2. phpbb3 site will be remodded with--Topic Tags--Arcade--Cash Mod--ACP Notepad--XBOX live pro--Chatbox(anymore?)3. The new site, will definitely take awhile, but I'm working at a faster rate then I thought. After that our new skin that Big4wheeler should give to us will be the main phpbb3 site theme. I did consider buying a v-Bulletin or IPB forum, but that isn't worth it, for halo modding. I will try to keep this site up and work and get the new site up. I'm still learning alot in Flash 8 marcomedia so give me some time, it will probably take about 2 weeks at this rate, but don't count on anything. I want to include the phpbb3 mods Arcade and Cashmod and live pro, but those aren't "golden" yet, so I can't include them. I would like to keep the e107 site. But it doesn't seem to get many hits. Any suggestions here are welcome. And thank you for staying. Peaches
fattwam Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 ok peach that sounds greatalso to all members please continue to advertise the site so that we are able to get new members and grow Due to the back up we lost several members
Curtis Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 If you guys ever need me to do something just ask. Ive been with this site since the start. I was a moderator and was dropped. Consider adding me again? Just ask for my help if you need anything.
.Chris Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Why I don't have teh skin: 1. School2. I swicthed my computer to Ubuntu and didn't pay attention to back that up3. My Router broke and didnt have access to a computer for like a month And im going to finish it when phpBB3 gold comes out so I don't have to redo it.
iBotPeaches Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Posted October 7, 2007 O thats fine, I thought you ditched us, along w/ 10 other members, we got keylogged (or nielsss) and all my backups were old phpbb and THEY DIDNT WORK, so waiting to restart the forum. I though RC5 was it, they didn't find any major errors did they?

SmokiestGrunl Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I know this is all old news and stuff, but I was away on holiday. But anyway I would happily buy a vBulletin for you to use.
