Jeez. Why the hell do we keep being hacked?! What the hell good is it for them to hack us?! We haven't done, like, ANYTHING. This is one of the least controversial boards out there... I don't see where the "grudge" originates. None of the other boards I read have ever gotten attacked once, let alone, like, 5 times.

It's because we're an easy target. But no sense getting too worked up over it now. Maybe y'all would like to talk about what you'd like to see out of the forum this time around.<br><br>I know there is a lot of activity going on under the hood, and well, with so much being done, it's an ideal time to consider what works here and what does not. What would you most like to see here? Now's the best time to speak up.

Personally I think things were perfectly 100% satisfactory fine the way they were, the forums and things we had seemed to fit just perfectly. As long as I can have that Doomworld skin, I'll be happy [Yeah, I'm a fan of that board style *Tailswish*]<br><br>As the old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

This board must have been really easy to hack, otherwise, I don't see why a hacker would waste a ton of time to hack a "silly comic forum". Really, there are bigger forums that this would have hurt more. My guess is that this was a huge security hole that attracted hackers.

Isn't there any other free forum software out there that is still being updated?
