Proboards Security Concern

[tmtd]

Forum URL: legoman.proboards8.com

When trying to connect to legoman.proboards18.com I mispelled the link, and entered the one at the top of my post.

Instead of having my beloved forum come up, a freaky page which says only "go away" appears. Since this is proboards, and you can't just re-write the scripts I viewed the source and the entire code read.

"go away"

This is a bit creepy since I tried entering the names of other forums for that server,and just got a "Forbidden" error.

I'm sure this can't be right, and that this can't be intentional from proboards.

For your concerns,

server 8 is used for hosting images and nothing else, its no big deal, there are no boards on that server.

It doesn't say "go away" for any other forum names. At least that I know of.

Why does it say "go away" for legoman, but no other forum board names?

because the Admins want it to say "go away" this is not really a support concern.

Hello, I am a concerned member from Lewasite, too. TMTD told me about this creepy message a little while ago.

How can the admins of the board make it say " Go away " if there are no boards on the server? Why is there even a URL for a board on the eighth server if the eighth server is only used for images?

As if my above statement wasn't creepy enough, I find it extremely odd that this particular message has to appear with the same forum name (that being " legoman " ) as the one that I visit daily. Not to mention that the number of the server is very similar in terms of digits: " 8 " and " 18 "

To put it simply; this is just abnormally weird.

Whatever URL you type in Server 8 says "Go away"

It's been like that for years

It's the ProBoards Image Server. No need to worry

Thank you. It was really quite a disturbing thought.

Thanks for clearing that up.

there is absolutly nothing on the server for forums, no subdomain support at all

so whatever you type in, eg

uihjuhasdfjsdfafaaakajlkfldsfasdfasdf.proboards8.com

it would treat as www.proboards8.com

www.proboards8.com has that go away message
