Any updates on security advancements to perhaps thwart this internet terrorist?

[smack]

All I'm privy to know is that there are at least 4 people actively working on just that.

Internet TERRORIST you say? Terrorists kill people and you have the ignorance to give that name to someone who deletes internet posts? Also, formerly being a hacker (though never good at it), I am adverse to people calling this person(s) a hacker. He/she is what's known as a cracker. A hacker goes in and looks around, but a cracker destroys.

Sorry to go off topic.

[ParthianWarrior]

What has happened?

[Rufus]

good

Relax first of all. Second, quit trying to sympathise for this hacker, or cracker, or whatever the hell you want to call it. No one around here cares, so take your computer vernaculer, and go elsewhere. When you're ready to help the situation, come back and play with the big boys.

Ouch

[crazyluke]

I'm not sympathising for anyone. Crackers are scum.

According to the Urban Dictionary:

Assclown
One, who, through the fault of his parents conception, is a skid mark in society's collective underwear.


Maybe that would be a better descriptor of this "hacker/cracker/whateverer"

Also according to the Urban Dic:
HACKER
Someone who really, really sucks at golf. Not neccesarily a noob. There are people who have been playing golf for years and are still hackers.
Everyone starts as a hacker but all hackers should stick to cheap hacker courses and not go to good ones because they spoil it for the good players.
See that dude over there with the rental clubs and his visor on backwards?

Yeah, what a freakin' hacker.

[crazyluke]

LOL, yes.

[Orb]

Well i'm just glad the that forum will be restored soon. lets hope that this time round we can stop this guy and anyone else from doing this vile damage to TWC.

[Centurion Quintus]

What about his/her IP? Couldn't you just block it?

[Maximus I]

kill the hackers lol

lol hormiga, I'm actually starting to appreciate the way you post now. I guess being a mod sort of skews my perspective a bit at times. (damn, where are the smilies in this new board?)

[lecnac]

Who needs smilies anyways? They disrupt sarkasm otherwise well percieved on online boards!

Until we have some, make use of the message icons ^_^
Maybe we should additionally introduce a compulsive disclaimer into postings, to make the respected reader aware of its potential or even partial lack of seriousness:

"This post may include irony, behave!"
