Was it just me?
When I logged on late this morning there was a post announcing the site had been hacked. I forget the user name but it started with an 'A' and is not on the membership list. I also got messages that I did not have permission to view the forum. A few minutes later it was fine.
Was I imagining things?
We interrupt this game to answer the question
Yes somebody registered an account with the forum this morning under user ID Adm1n (that is a one). There was no hack of The Crabby Host, just an idiot fool from the UK (seen the IP here before lurking many times) who I deleted immediately including the welcome thread and the single post made that said we were hacked.
Please get real if registering an account is hacking a site then we are all guilty of doing that, obvious idiot and nothing more. The offending IP address was banned on our server along with several other IP's that were attempting to do the exact same thing. We have taken steps to prevent further attempts and will be taking further action. Now back to the game.
Does that answer your question?
