CROPLAYER Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think that it has to something with that crazy Portuguese dude, bombiero. All this craziness has started around the time that somebody from moderators (i cant remember who,but it doesn't matter actually) posted his FB page and he stopped (thankfully) coming here. It doesnt have to be him, but i am just stating my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 @Cops, nope No data has been lost. The reinstall of the forum is planned for tomorrow morning CET and no data will be lost at that point. We are currently making new backups and changing all passwords to make sure everything will be fine.@Other, in the 7 years we have been attacked 6 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundking Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 We were attacked more than likely due to traffic. I run a site similar to this, with the same software, on a much smaller scale. I too started getting attacked the same time as here (all IPB based sites did) due to a security flaw they found in the code. A spammer will not make 50 accounts for a site with ten hits a week, but it will make thirty times that if you get millions of hits. Spamming is done like all other business, shadily, and based on volume. You don't open a warehouse store in a community of thirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONZA 911 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 In the panel on the right hand side of the page, where all the info is for all the Emergency games, the vehicles button/link takes you straight back to the home page.
