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?

well he aint properstaff on my site... + last time he was admin he tryed to kill my site.. by deletein me... i hate him personly lolz

No need to bring your personal disputes here.

no,


erase all of your admin's email accounts from the board. Make your own (since you cant remove the root's email) a web forewarding account. That way they cant find you. Make sure you dont use your email for that account for anything. It should be absoloutly private. If you want some advice hit me up on MSN...id be glad to help ya out

i wouldnt directly blame the IF Staff for what has been in some way a member of your staff's stupidity with their choice of either board pass or email, or your lack of board security. It happens, ya just have to learn to roll with the punches. and becides, If you knew anything about IF you would have shyed away from a name that was anywhere near the one that if styles was using. Thats usially reallllly bad luck when it comes to cracking ><

Im not blaming the staff for anything, i just saying they could of replied sooner, it shouldnt take 5 days to reply to a support ticket? they all urge us to use it more often because its a more rapid and detailed response, the forum name should have nothing to do with why it was cracked, just some low life who has nothing better to do with his life!

maybe they've been investigating. No point sending you a response just saying we're looking into it. Seth has pointed out, I believe, in this thread, that the staff is looking into the problem.
I doubt it's easy to track down a hacker.

Five days isn't that long really. Some people wait weeks. And the length is probably due to the fact that there are only so many staff and hundreds of tickets per day :/

from my experiences, no.....and most likely if the person was smart they used a proxy.

it probably ain't gone gone. They have the backups.

But, like I said before, your account still existed so you should have been able to log in and change the pw before it got deleted. Unless they cracked your account.
