Forum URL: f5designs.proboards35.comOk for days now 2 forums that I know of have been cracked and each one is spamming a link to our forum making bogus claims about being staff there. First of all to those jumping the gun, people who crack a forum wouldnt spam a link and say their staff of a forum, thats just pure stupidity. I don't appreciate my forum being spammed over this and I want to know how proboards staff are going about actually tracking the offender down.. Now I know its not as simple as it sounds especially if their using a proxy to cover their tracks, however besides posts about it are disturbing the forum my staff are also under attack because of this. Now the owners of targeted forums as far as I know have accepted we didnt have a part in this, I just want to know what proboards are actually going to do regarding this matter?

I sent you something in PM. As far as what Proboards is doing, I haven't seen Martyn or Craig on all night.

Just out of curiosity, what would you want them to do?
Besides banning the person from PB indefinitely for cracking forums, I really don't see what else can be done.

But isnt that itself enough they are doing real damage to us and the people they target, are we supposed to lie down and say its ok? *edit* Now please if your not staff dont reply to this

They are right though, short of banning the proxy the use for a single attack, what more can be done, we wont know their next ip until the attack has happened
This is all down to poor member passwords, its as simple as that.
If someone wanted to make an impact, they would attack this forum, but has the staff accounts here ever been hacked? No, its all down to members using simple passwords
Just wait for them to get bored, you reacting is obviously what they want, also any members with sense would know a hacker wouldnt just leave behind their true source

Exactly we know that, however other people don't seem to realise that and as a result my staff are being harassed for something they didnt do, as for the getting bored, someones tried to set us up before and that lasted for months, you expect us to wait it out again?
