Wandering Off Topic

[Eleanor]

Well Well.  Lookie here.  I told you this would happen

[sadie]

I reported my findings and concerns directly and was ignored. Make of that what you will. After all the warnings about using the unsecured version of the website (without the s suffix), I  notice G Unit then went and posted links to the unsecure version of the site for Moderation queries. It's a shambles.

Yep. most probably.  Sorry, Elli that it is happening to you, now.

Very disturbing.

Guys, there's nothing to see here. Well, that's not strictly true, it's just an unstable forum. Most are the same.
I used to run one called Dungeons and Dragons Figurines and Boardgames - same SQL / XML databases. Glitchy as a glitchy thing at Glitchmas.

We now appear to be Comrades at Arms.  Inappropriate Language, allegedly.

It would appear that the latest revelations concerning the status of Christian Brückner has served to increase the need for proactive moderation once more. I will be watching very closely for any infringement of the rules for the foreseeable future.

Continued goading and the use of inappropriate language will result in posting restrictions for those concerned.

Goodness me. Is there any point any more?

For God's sake don't express an opinion.  Unless you wan't to protect The Paedophile.

Totally irrelevant.

[Eleanor]

EVERYTNG I say gets eaten before my eyes.  AND I can't do this any more.

But I did try.

[Eleanor]

Totally irrelevant.

Obviously.  Thanks a bunch for the nine years.

[Eleanor]

Totally irrelevant.

I somewhat missed thet in passing.  This Forum exists because people Comment.  Nothing is irrelevant.  Or are you beyond The Pale?

Rather interesting that Admin, now all of a sudden, feel the need to step in to closely monitor any "goading and inappropriate language" in light of the recent developments.

Shouldn't you have been doing that anyway?

Or is just because of the direction the "goading and inappropriate language" might now start to blow?

This is all gong dreadfully down hill now.  Admin is getting shirty.  But all power to the elbow.

We have to remember that the platform that these forums are built on are open source and an iteration of one built 20 years ago. They use the same software, SQL, XML, etc and it can be unstable. That's all it is.

Coming from a Computer Science background myself, I can confirm that is extremely accurate.

Let me ask you a hypothetical question then -

If someone with an in-depth knowledge of the very rudimentary and basic database this site employs wanted to extract user details (email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, IP addresses of their locations), how hard do you think that would be to do? Particularly given this site for a lengthy period of time was running without any security certificate to protect those kind of invasions.

All hypothetically of course.

Good Question.

I wonder how many of us have been broken into?
