Help for my friend's forum...it's been hacked!

Can someone out there who is part of the ProBoards staff please restore my friend's forum to working order as it's been illegally hacked? A new member to the forum named Marcus, who joined only to verbally trash my friend as well as all the members there (including me), had a friend of his illegally hack into the forum and shut down the REPLY functions... rendering the board useless. I have noticed this before my friend obviously has (he is on the internet at random times) and I've decided to at least get the ball rolling his direction since I'm sure he'd need the assistance on what to do now anyways.

I'll also go as far as to say that it'd probably suit my friend quite well if the new member's account and ISP was banned from access, as well as the ISP of the person who did the actual hacking IF IT'S POSSIBLE. Quite certainly we don't want that kind of trouble again at the forum.

I'll contact my friend and let him know what's going on and hopefully he'll post here soon enough to verify what's going on. I'm sure the staff here at ProBoards should be aware of his email address and can also contact him regarding this matter directly.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I've sent him an e-mail myself. Hopefully he'll be along soon as he can.

Kind Regards,

Well...cat's outta the bag. It was an elaborate April Fool's Day prank.

Next time I'll check the calender first and wait a few days if it happens to be April 1st.

Sorry to have troubled the staff here...

No worries
