    Added some extra security to the admin pages, so no worries about goatse.cx pictures (how original, by the way) showing up anymore, i hope. I reverted the ranks database to an older backup, so that should be good again as well.

    If any of you crackerboys feels like enlightening me on how you can make yourself an admin on this forum, I'd really appreciate it. Also, I'd like to know what I have done to incur your all-powerful wrath.

    Well, Archangel, two cracker kiddies (there were two different IPs in the logs) decided to have a bit of fun with this forum. Apparently, there's an exploit somewhere that enables you to make yourself an administrator (it should be secure now though. I put some overkill security on the admin pages), and these kiddies used that to mess up a few things. They placed a disgusting image there first and after I deleted that they put some javascript there that was designed to crash browsers. 'tis all gone now though.

    What the hell was that? Imagine my surprise when I wanted to check out new postings and all I’ve got was some really messy staff. I must congratulate you thought on quick response to the problem.

    Oh, when you find out, could you please post all the details of the hacker on the board. I hate those pathetic worms, they should die!
