    I've started this thread so you can all be kept abreast of any changes that are made to the server or the software.

    I've removed the IRC /me command, an unknown attacker had managed to replace the code in it so that it would provide a backdoor to destroy the board. The offending file has been removed, and there are no other files with the offending code.

    I have this. :lol:

    I get a database error when I click on it.
    So unless Sokar is acting from beyond the grave, I think it has to do with whatever change you've made.

    Yeah, I was flipping some switches trying to determine what some of the plugins were responsible for. Some of them have been around for so long that I couldn't be sure if they were even in use.

    And who authorized you any laurels? These are lean times, dammit! Budgets are shrinking, we must all make sacrifices!

    Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?

    Does anyone else get a malware warning when visiting this page? It seems like that Star Trek image is causing it.
