Sorry for the forum outage earlier today.
Turned out I had not been paying attention to the forum security updates over the last months and was punished for that. I've updated the forum with the fixes now and removed the additional admin account that was added.

I hope I've managed to clean it all up but I'm not perfectly sure. If you notice something not working or something really weird happening, please post here. Thanks!

Why some wankers feel the need to hack a forum like this, where we're all just sitting around talking friendly, is completely beyond my comprehension.

I could easily envisage the bag of rusty pedals(non boss obviously) and a deserted spot down the docks somewhere...a couple of cable ties to attach said bag around the legs,a quick heave ho,a muffled splash and end of hacker..... franzoni style.........

The Search function was disables a while ago, it caused the forum to hang. Really wish it was back.

Was just simply thinking of beating the hackers,
but there's nothing wrong with a swim with the fishes.
