TFF HACKED Last Night, Sorry for Downtime

Well, as we've seen, the anti-fraud site is in the process of tracking. We should know soon enough...stuff like this leaves a paper trail a mile wide.

Problem is, you have to search that mile to find most of it.

I have a job. That's why I'm never home to see this stuff.

You know, I was REALLY hoping it was actually a bandwidth overusage this time. Silly me, hoping for the best and all. Not that a bandwidth problem is good, but it's better than all of this hacking bullshit.

TFF will probably go down again in the near future, but it will be at Fuzz's command, and no one else's. You know, while we swap servers and such. Yep. Soon.

Lets' see...Loco...and Raine.....both told me it was SO not a hack. Told ya guys it was.

Anyway....I wanna offer any help, but I'm sure there's nothing I can do...but if there is something, let me know. I still never sent you my check to help out.

[LocoColt04]

No, I said I didn't know one way or the other, and that I was HOPING it wasn't another hack. There's a big difference, you know. One CAN remain optimistic...

I just happened to be wrong, that's all. Rough times for TFF, methinks.

I'm still saying that it's some angsty pre-teen who just had a bad couple of days. At any rate, whoever the douchebag is that keeps hitting us needs to knock the shit off. It's getting old. It's times like this that I wish I knew where this guy that keeps hacking us actually lives.

i hope that this doesnt happen

(does vbulletin have any anti hack software?)

So that's what happen to the beloved forums? Damn hackers! It amazes me they managed to hack this place, but a bank site... that's odd. I was wondering why i kept getting that message yesterday!

Congrats to Fuzz for getting this shit sorted out!
And thanks for the gold!

[postalblowfish7]

i'm just relieved that it's up again. thanks for keeping the forums open while you scan your files!

Sherry brings up a question -- have y'all thought of putting anything on here to donate? A Paypal thing or something? Or would there be anything to donate for, really?

[hellbred]

I personally would be willing to donate to TFF. I'm sure others would be as well.

[postalblowfish7]

here here! i'll throw some paypal money onto the TFF fire! otherwise i'll just spend it all on NES games from ebay :\

[Fuzz]

Wow you guys are amazing!

Yes --- Sherry does bring up an issue that has been brough up from time to time when TFF was having financial issues.

Although the strain isn't as high now, donations always help in enhancing TFF with not only server optimizations, but script upgrades... we live in a capitalistic society and nothing is free anymore... i hate it.

I will be sure to create a sticky thread with all PayPal donation information sometime in the near future for anyone that is willing to spare a few bucks. Although I do not have the exact link or button, my paypal e-mail is 'sjt5x8@mizzou.edu'

Thanks a lot guys... still no new news on who/what hacked us, but I'm getting closer and YES I would love to find the guy who did this... Sort of like what Adam Sandler did in "Punch Drunk Love" when he man hunted the owner of that Porno Phone compnay, haha.

If you get his actual address by chance, Fuzz....tell me what it is over AIM. I have no problem going on a road trip (as long as he's in the US). If he lives in Florida, Trev and I could punch the shit out of him.
