Post by menn »

this is a phpbb forum (yeah, you know that.) i'm not suggesting a switch to another system, nor am i complaining about the choice. nor am i asking a question - just pointing out that another phpbb forum i used to watch, pete's qb forum, has had some trouble in the past.

every once in a long while he gets hit in a huge way by a poker website spambot and his database corrupts. he then loads a backup and may lose as much as a week of posts. hopefully the admins are aware of this vulnerability and make backups. then again, unlike this forum pete's allows unregistered posts. nevermind, perhaps. i tried to go to fridl's forum and i see it's been hit. more's the pity, he'll probably have to require logins to post when he puts it back up :(
