Perhaps I should have tagged on the :/ smilie at the end to convey my message better. I was emphasizing what a shame it was, because wasn't it cracked last week or something too? And as PhranK said:

We think the first one was a cracking, but we can't be sure, since he/she is using a proxy server.

Actually, admin valadation would be helpful. you just track the ip they registered with, then if it says 'proxy', don't valadate them :)

Proxy? Huh?

Could you explain that a bit better?

These crackers are just people that you most likely ticked off at one point or another. Be careful when you fire staff members, they may come back for you later.

Did you have any warning ??

Yeah, but if they can't get admin access, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to be intimidated my anyone, esepecially someone I should be firing. If your passwords are hard to crack, and they try to attack the forums, they won't get anywhere, and you can IP ban them.

Logik, play nice or else. No one needs you to be rude to them. You can inform them of the other posts made about it nicely. :arr:

:huh:

That's a rule just applying to regular members, then?

Oh sheesh! What every happened to making alpha-numeric passwords that were over 7 letters long? Does no one listen to that anymore?

I wouldn't call that rude, twas exactly what I was thinking when I read it :P and it's so true, mainly because (as PhranK said) it's the most common case so people tend to assume, especially if no one says their password was indeed a long and complicated one :r

Tis indeed a shame you got hacked/cracked/broken into :/ might wanna look closely to see who hates you guys enough to do this, it's common for morons who bear grudges to do this sort of things.

Word of advice,


Remove the email addresses of your staff. That way the only way to get in is by actuially bruteforcing your password on your board, which if im not mistaken IF protects against correct?
