    I've gone through the forums and cleaned up the spambot accounts. Quite simply, I've deleted all user accounts that:<ul><li>Had ZERO posts;
    <br><li>Hadn't been activated;</ul>If you're a real user and you were caught up in the flush, you have my apologies. Please feel free to register again. With the addition of a new mod to stop the spambots (seeing as phpBB's Visual Confirmation was so crappy it was useless) I'm hoping this is the last time I'll have to clean the memberlist. That'll mean all you lurkers who register but then don't post should be left alone from now on, with a bit of luck.
    <br>
    <br>In other news, file downloads are currently unavailable. A hacker took advantage of an unpatched exploit in the downloads mod we used and uploaded some evil malicious stuff which we had to clean. I'll have to find another download database script to install before it comes back online again. Of course, I could always simply mock-up a HTML page with links to the files but that's just so <i>low-tech</i>.

    Why don't you link them in the wiki?

    I hate the wiki. It'd also be the same as a static HTML page but look much worse. Preferably I want something that's searchable, is database driven and records the number of downloads for each file. I've been toying with writing my own for a while, mainly because the added security benefits of custom code which isn't publicly released seems to be insurmountable.

    I want to see if I can get something quick up soon as a lot of people come here for the downloads.

    So, are the downloads ever going to come back online?

    The downside of all this is you deleted Allenthailand and the other guy who suppossedly joined the site in 1970.

    You know, as unlikely as that is, I still thought about it for a while after I joined this place.

    I don't like it this way, I prefered to think that the HoL was founded by 2 ARPANET users.

    Well, I've put the list on the downloads page now. So others can find it and have fun hunting. Of course, this means my desire to do a proper database thingy is reduced and as such will be delayed.
