Hi!

Is it just me, or is the official TotalWar forum down? The server says that I have no permission to access it.

Cheers,
Antonio

yes...they hacked it


and i know why...


someone was jealous of my wonderful avatar and tried to steal it by hacking the forum. What an idiot...I would have given it to him for free...

As far as I know, someone was banned from the .com for posting offensive material, and responded by hacking the site. Richie is doing the best he can to revive the site, but repeated attacks are making it difficult.

Gil if you guys Know who it was. Get the authorities involved. Go to the tech formums, people thier have had problems after they logged on this week.

Its a crime to do what he is doing to your site. Let alone if he has damaged your customers PCs.

Good luck. I hope the hacker goes down.

Won't say much for fear of prejudicing anything (let alone in case I'm getting it wrong) - but basically, yes, this is being Treated With The Utmost Seriousness (TM).

How can one hack a board?
Ofcourse I dont need the exact how 2's, but did they enter the pc the forum files were stored on or did they hack the admins account?

Sidhe ... when I said dont smoke the whole bag at once ... i meant DONT smoke the WHOLE bag at once ... obviously u didnt listen.

Contunued attacks?

You know someone posted a site that apparently has a thing for hacking forums ... I dont remember the name but the word forum was in it ... they said that those people were respnsible for it ...

Was that who did it. Boy and I told that chap he could of at least been banned over a better looking woman. LOL.

Seems to me if thats who did it. And then got mad at the forums for banning him. And then hacked it. Seems to me he was just looking for an excuse to cause trouble.

Maybe in his little pee-brain mind he thinks he was right or something. My god what is this world coming too.

I distinctly remember that thread, and the complaints over her appearance.

I actually rather appreciated that avatar... it had a certain "chick from an old godzilla movie" look to her.

And don't tell me you didn't dig the matching vest and socks? come on...
