Well THAT was painful!

We REALLY need a web admin- someone who isn't just our friend that we beg every time this happens.

It was a severe attack again and took some code cleaning- something way beyond my pay grade to the point I don't even understand what was wrong.

There must be someone here who is capable of fixing this sort of thing, yes? So if it happens again we can get quicker results?

Blarg though, giant pain in the butt.

I know it was a giant pain in the ass, but thanks so much for getting the boards up again. Hopefully someone who knows how to do this crap can sign up to be your Mr. Fixit going forward. (Unfortunately, that person is not me...

)

Fixed.

Also, hell yes we are back!

Well in any case, thank you guys for dealing with the ass-pain. It means a lot to us that you'd fight through the strain, letting us come flooding back in.

Don't look at me like that, I see nothing wrong with this post.

In any case, there have to be a ton of coders on these boards. I'm sure there could be some sort of audition process.

Programmer here. I'm in the last term of my bachelor's in Computer Engineering, and I have a fair bit of experience with web servers, PHP scripts, and SQL databases through projects and internships. Not so much with web adminning per se, but I'm a quick learner. I'd be happy to lend a hand if any future problems arise.

Super happy to have the site back up. Thanks everyone.

Hah, I knew there was a reason I was actually productive lately...

I'm still getting Kaspersky telling me certain parts of the site are on its "no fly" list; then again, I haven't updated the databases, but...

ALL THE HAPPINESS! THERE IS HAPPINESS LITERALLY BLEEDING OUT OF MY JOY!

Oh, and if you need some help, I have a smidgeon of admin experience.

yeahhhhh..... I was worried because I have been drinking to mask my sadness of these boards being down.

RedWarlock · « **Reply #32 on:** January 31, 2013, 04:20:35 PM »

All is joy and love again in this world!

...What?

Glad MM is back.

Not a web admin but I can be very useful when motivated, as I'm sure people have noticed.

I'm also interested in ... why us? Was the box infected? I don't see too many other rather random boards getting taken down like this, assuming they pay the bill.

EN World suffered a bad hacker attack a month or so ago.

Thank God. I nearly started posting on The Gaming Den out of boredom.

Should we not make a post here about the rule of cool forums being the place to head to in case of emergency?

What da hell just happened I spent the last half hour trying to get in cause it said the site was redirecting while the page tried to load?

There've also been some SMF failures cropping up on occasion. Hopefully things aren't heading for another implosion.
