RMXP.org's downtime: The whole story

[Anonymous]

I'm quite proud of everyone who was online during the chaos. We had only one person abuse their "admin" status. As someone in IRC said, the hacker was no doubt relying on everyone behaving far less maturely.

I really really really hope you can get a later backup up and running (even if it is just partial) - there was some information I really needed

I can't help but think that that's me for some reason...

 

[Kiniko]

Then I guess it's not me, as I'm still on the forum.

It wasn't you. I'm not entirely sure if the guy who did it is still a registered user, I doubt it, but he won't be again either.

Ah, congrats on getting the forums back, guys. Nice work.
Easy way to stop this from happening again, though is to make less enemies.

It'd be nice to know what it is we're doing that's making enemies. Except possibly enforcing the rules, which is out of the question to stop. It's not like the rules aren't right there in the wiki, hard to follow, and rule enforcement is arbitrary. :-/

I dont se why anyone would hack the sight unless the wanted to gian more acsess by changing evereyone to admin...':|

That explains what happen. but sadly there a lot of scripts and materials lost now. but i hope at least theres a solution to that problem.

It's frusterating because my project thread had a lot of support and was moved to the Projects section, from the New Projects section. But the thread disappeared so now I'm back to where I started. :'(

 

[Erk]

Well, presumably now that you have learned from the support last time you can get back into the projects forum pretty fast the only thing we can do with something like this is look on the bright side.

Quite interesting, now I'm kinda glad I took a while off and avoided this whole fiasco. :D
