Sorry About All Of The Hacks

[jimveritch]

Hey Top Hat Junkies :)

Sorry about all of the hacks. It is really a drag when spammers continue to attack forums like ours. I have updated the forum scripts and hopefully this will keep the buggers out for awhile. If you got deleted by accident e-mail me and I will take care of it. Again, sorry for the hacks. In the future please contact me right away and I will stop this nonsense.

Regards,

Jim Veritch

It appears the Private Message function isn't on the forum anymore. Will it return? Thanks.

Dude....this is the, what, third, or fourth time this has happened? I say it's time for a more secure forum software, as I've been on forums for years and have never seen a forum hacked even half as much as this one.

To be honest, each time this happens I find myself using the forum less and less, and can only deduce from both anecdotal evidence, observation, and my own experience that this is true of others as well. This forum used to be very popular and productive and alive, and each successive spam/hack reduced that vitality, until now hardly anything is happening.

And, what's more, even my Safari web browser warned me, prior to the hacks, that something was fishy with this site. In this age, the web forum is just too close to the heart of a business to let it be so loosely protected. This is frankly ridiculous...
