If you are uncomfortable giving "the keys" to someone you don't trust, I fully understand, and in that case, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to donate $10 to pay for a professional to take care of it. If you have the ability, but not the time or inclination, then see above. Either way, this really needs to be a priority. Many of us love this site and have been using it daily for years. We aren't in dire straits yet, obviously, but it just doesn't make sense why a community of nerdy computer types would allow malicious code to exist on its server for over a year.

+1 on all counts.

Agree.

King of Pain, I really just don't understand why absolutely nothing has happened. As Speaker said, if it is a lack of time/resources, look no further than the forum itself. If you are actually working on the problem but need more time to finish, then it would be great if you could at least post what you have done so far and what still needs to be done.

That's ... a link to the other thread where people are unsuccessfully lobbying to get things fixed?

That's exactly the attitude I find very irritating. rolleye

Looking at your post it seems to me that fixing forum security and especially keeping the community informed about any progress is of very little concern to you.

I honestly find it hard to understand why you are unable to communicate/update in the clear way that 95% of all other administrators on the internet do, but I am tired of trying to find out. Maybe we need to lose more members until something actually gets done.


I have already contacted the guy who's moving our servers, he said within a week. I will get out my whip. Please PM me, rather than KoP, if you have questions or concerns.

Does the report function work? I generally send a report on a spam post as soon as I see one, but there are a few that haven't been adressed after that. If the report function isn't working, I'll just post up any ones I notice hanging around a while here instead.

I do get email notice of reports but please post if there are missed ones.
