Title: Hackers
Post by: JDog on November 01, 2007, 07:56:37 PM
I really hate these kind of people, my forum was hacked four times, causing me to delay my main site like three times, so yea, it took us all night the day before to finally get rid of this certain person, and yea, if anyone hacks my site again, I will be very mad, because the same person did it like four or so times...

That sucks... If I were you, I'd be sure to change your password frequently, and preferably use passwords made up of just random combinations of letters and numbers. It might help, anyways...

Yeah, it might, idk, but I really get tired, it wasn't my account that was hacked, it was one of the other admins that got hacked, I have like 3 or 4 admins, and yea, like two of them got hacked, and one of them hacked half the other staff, which would be the mods, and yea, they suspended my account, that took forever to get back online... haha

Well, in that case, you should report them to whoever hosts your website. They should be able to do something about them.

First of all, it wouldn't be a good idea to have so many administrators, that puts the responsibility of the site on more members shoulders, meaning that the whole thing can just as easily be crushed.

Yes Desert Colossus only has one webmaster and two forum administrators.
