Guest Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I am showing that its been hacked by someone. Anyone else getting that message? Quote
john bowen Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 In a big way! Damn them anyway(Hachers). Them people need to get a life and leave us common folk alone. Quote
PAR Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I thought it was just me, but I guess it's the site. I'd like to meet one of these bone heads in a dark alley. John did you call me this morning? I was in the Mt. Dora parade when you did, (at least I think it was you) I was being a shepard on the nativity scene float. Quote
Guest Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 While I got you here, Par I would like to say that I personally enjoy your contributions across the net. I know that it takes some time to do so, sharing some inside into a lot of diverse subjects. Thanks again. Quote
john bowen Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Nope, not I. But I'll be sending you an E. Just working on a few thoughts. I am hooked on the Minuet. 8) Quote
capt jake Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I sent an e-mail to one of the administrators this morning. The message has changed a couple of times since it was hacked. Bummer! Quote
PAR Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Aw shucks, Mr. shellfish . . . John, I had a "Bowen" on my caller ID and I took a guess, oops . . . Has anyone heard anything about when BYYB may be back up and possibly an address of the clown that is responsible, so that I may pay a late night visit. Quote
ScottWidmier Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Richard Norman is working on getting the BYYB site back up but I have no idea when it will be. Quote
ken connors Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Par, in the unfotunately unlikely event that the scumbag who hacked the byyb site were to be revealed, i wouldnt lose any sleep in order to "pay a late night visit". i'd bet he has plenty of neighbors who would thoroughly enjoy seeing him get a good a$$whoopin right in the middle of the street. i'd even bet that the loser is still living with his mother and she might even get a little guilty pleasure from it.

Barnacle Jim Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Ahoy, Thanks for the kind comments and concern about the BYYB site. Like yourself, I am unable to access the site. Captn Jake did write me this morning, and I immediately forwarded his message to Richard Norman, the BYYB webmaster. Just a moment or two ago, I received this message from Richard Quote
adla Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 That is just dirty - and rude that a person would hack a friendly boat site. :evil: a. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Its a constant battle if you have any kind of forums, photo albums, etc., as these guys do Google searches for versions of software they know they can deface. That's one of the reasons I update the underlying software on this site whenever updates come out, and have removed the version number from all the scripts that I can edit. Other times its someone else on the same shared server, and the server's security is breached. Not fun to restore a site; often you lose everything and have to start over. Quote
adla Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 what no honor in hacking? I thought these losers breached top secret government sites and started nuclear wars. Malice was the intent - and against who? a bunch of boat builders? - random acts of malice are the worst sort. a. Quote
mrthethird Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 And how can you brag about hacking a boatbuilding site? I'd bet that even among hackers, that's a no-sack, ch()ckensh()t act. Quote
Barnacle Jim Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Good morning, Here's our latest update from Richard Norman, the BYYB webmaster Quote
Craig Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Too bad about the site. I got the message early this morning when I tried to log on. Too bad we can't help the dumb ass with his typing skills by limbering up his fingers. (so to speak) Quote
mrthethird Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 BYYB site appears to be back up, in a limited manner, for now. Good on 'em. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Richard has some forums back up at the site, so all the regular contributors should log in there and re-register to help show your support. It will probably mean a lot to him as he goes through the hard work of rebuilding the site from the ground up. Quote
Guest Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I am still showing the following: Problem in Database Connection This Website is powered by PostNuke Although this site is running the PostNuke software it has no other connection to the PostNuke Developers. Please refrain from sending messages about this site or its content to the PostNuke team, the end will result in an ignored e-mail. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I am still showing the following:Problem in Database Connection Hmmm ... try flushing your browser's cache ... and surf to http://www.byyb.org if you were using a different URL (he has an auto-forward to the forums). Quote
