Define Cynical Fan Forums

DC is having problems. Big surprise, right?<br><br>It was another hacking incident, yes. The damage is not severe but we'll be undergoing maintenance for a while. Somewhat routine by now, perhaps. Feel free to enunciate your righteous indignation in this temporary forum.<br><br>There is probably no need to mention upgrading the forum or what-have-you. Everything that can be done is being done. Just be patient.<br><br>For the time being:<br>· No new registrations<br>· No sending of private messages. Also, if you have anything in your inbox/outbox that you want to save, copy it to your computer. Old messages may be deleted at any time without notice.

*groans*

heh, actually in this case, it was one of the more intelligible hacks. Just turn off the boards! heck, better than replacing the text with russian, or images with a spinning bill nye head... granted, the bill nye thing was pretty funny....

Why do we keep getting hacked? I mean, what did we do?<br><br>Has someone got a grudge against Ozy and Millie or something? <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

probably not, probably either something against 1) furries, or 2) a forum that doesn't update the security protocals.....<br><br>*looks* whoa, lost my Mod status, it seems ^^;.

I don't think it'd be an anti-furry thing, nearly half the board are non-furries as far as I can tell.

Ouch. Well, I guess there's no sense in complaining anyway. I guess if there's a need to delete old PMs, I'd recommend any members go ahead and delete them themselves to save you the trouble. <br><br>Anyway, Likeafox, you have the rest of my contact info. I won't be available for much today, but I'll try to be on to help out tonight.<br><br>Edit: I already saved and emptied mine, so there's one less to handle. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Plus, even many of the nonfurs have furry like names, and icons, so.... well, thats what trolls are going to look for if thats what they seek.

Seems like more a situation of people doing stupid things on the internet . . . .

Oh, no no, it's not quite that complicated Tavis. What I meant to say is that I might have to discard the part of the database that stores the private messages. There is nothing meticulous about it, trust me. And that's a <i>might</i> discard it not a <i>will</i> discard it.

So how long are we looking at until the board's back up?

I'd rather have a clean, empty inbox so it doesn't get prematurely full.

I thought you guys, (Tavis or 5hsfifty), were changing the forums!

Why is it that the websites that get hacked the most are the ones that have done nothing wrong?<br><br>At least these people are attacking Define Cynical instead of the source.
