Harry,

I think you need to get to your web designer to clean up the site after our attack, from that muppet..... to be polite :wink:

Get all his threads deleted :)

Fully agreed.

Moreover, I do know if this is already the case, but is there not a way that anyone registering needs to "prove" they are "alive" and not just a "robot" ?

Just my two cents (I also realize that we do not want to turn this into Fort Knox...
cheers
Erik

It is getting worse as all the old posts from the General forum have gone. Could be the spammer has done something. Currently all the other old posts are still there but it could be a time bomb or as simple as someone opening one of those spam threads. God help us come 1st April.

Harry - you need to do something quickly or the entire forum could be lost. All the spam posts need to be deleted, the forum checked for viruses or trojans and lost items restored from the back-up (you Do have a backup?). A hacker managed to totally destroy the Jaguar links Cafe Forum a couple of months ago.

wow, indeed so the "Jenks E-Type" , "where do we park" and all the active threads are gone. I hope it is due to Harry or his IT team working on it and indeed also hope they have a back -up.

Harry,
give us a sign and keep us updated on progress made to fix this situation.
So sorry it happened and these b....ds :evil: spend their time this way.


Hope you can build further protection for the future.

Hi guys, I've just sent Erik a message to update him.

I wanted to clean this mess up without disturbing my website man and whilst attempting to fix the problem I think I may have deleted a few threads.

I will bite the bullet and call him tomorrow.

Thank you all for asistance and patients I will keep on it.

Many Thanks
Harry
