Title: *** GTD Forum is back from dead ***
Post by: RedRotors on September 22, 2010, 03:01:40 pm: Hi everyone,

I finally succeded to put back online the forum. It's been hacked badly and all the database has been
messed up as well as many files has been injected with malicious code..

Everything seems to be up and running.

Please advise me or the moderators of any bug that might be around.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks everyone for your extreme patience!

Cheers,
Marc/

Post by: Baron VonZeppelin on September 22, 2010, 09:55:51 pm: Thanks for getting the place up and going again RedRotors !

Sounds like someone very miserable and cruel to knock it back down again in just one hour. Best of luck revealing the source or finding a stronger way to protect the site. Sounds like it will be needed if they are that determined.

Title: Re: *** GTD Forum is back from dead ***
Post by: jack's lack on September 27, 2010, 09:35:54 am: Woo Hoo. Thank you so much for fixing this. I was experiencing withdraws so badly that I drove up to H20i on a whim this weekend.
Just in time too. If I spent another day with just the vortex to read I'm afraid I may have become as bitter as those guys.

Post by: fdnyguy on September 27, 2010, 03:18:55 pm: Nice job on the virus situation. Keep up the good work.

Wondering if you need a little financial assistance again for either the site and/or virus protection. Let us know.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

You ain't kidding!!! I love diesels, but can barely change my own oil. But what some of these guys can do with a VW diesel, and the knowledge they share is unbelievable. I love reading the posts, even if I don't understand some of it.. :)

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.
