The forum has been hacked but is now recovered

Hackers came in to this forum and disabled all accounts. No one could get in including me.

I'm able to get in now so check if you can get in.

Idiot hackers and spammers!! Next week, we are upgrading this forum to a much more secure and robust version. We're testing it right now in [url]http://forums.audioreview.com[/url]

Very sorry about the inconvenience.

francois

I want to be the first to thank you.

You can be my friend now.

spank

I'm back in.

If true this is great news! :thumbsup: (although I see the old emoticoms are still not working :()

Famousdavis should be made an honorary Knight of the realm for providing a lifeboat in our time of need. Honorable mention to FON for also throwing us a life preserver even if not required. And to Buddha for leading us to the promised land at Mtbr.com. :)

And lastly a request to Francois. Can I have my 58 posts from Caddyshack added to my post count here? To add to my legendary >10k status?

Hey wait a minute! What happened to my posts? I've been brought back to the field with a paltry 9,962!

Hey Francois

Serious question now. Will we back accepting new members once again? :idea:

Thank you.

WTF... it's working again, is the hacker from China? or N. Korea?

Great news!

Like coming home from a vacation.

Finally... the crew, can log back in to GolfReview! :cool:

Thank you Francois. :)

Francis, can you please explain your apparent neglect of this site and the fact that you've ignored pleas from its moderators to open up the forums to new membership? If this is a feature that you could delegate to one of us, we would gladly take it over.

Hey Buddha,

I'm a distracted guy. I've been creating a lights, 650b shootout on the bike sites and I tend to put my head down until I'm done. I also run road and carreview now.

the other reason is my East Coast partner has been redesigning the whole golfreview site using a new platform. He keeps saying he's almost done and I shouldn't touch this site.

But the new forum is promising. It is much more robust to spam and hacks. The registration will be human question and answer based and it seems to stop most of these robot registrations.

That being said, I can give you supermod status on this forum so you can do what I do.

Thanks for the quick reply. I would definitely be interested in "supermod" status. We just want to see the site flourish as I'm sure you would too. I'm looking forward to the improvements that you have in store.

I'm a busy man. I don't have the inclination to go after every last assskisser. You are the injured wildebeest, now that tonyj5 has bloodied you up. I'm only picking off the weakest members of the herd, as nature intends.

I've still got a sticky in the non-golf forum telling the site owner to kiss my asss. I've got the luxury of casting stones.

So, are you saying it's supposed to be 60 this coming weekend or that it was supposed to be 60 last weekend? What with your poor writing and horrid grammar and syntax, it's a wonder you can find your arse in the morning.

I'd ridicule you further if not for the newsworthy post you created. The weather. How exciting.

I think all of you are two beers short of a six pack.

Golf Review are you a stiff or a 'R' flex......................................
what will happen next.............................................................

Sung to the tune of "The Long and Winding Road" by The Beatles.

The long and winding road
that leads to GR's door
Will never disappear
I've seen it hacked before
it always leads me here
Leads me to GR's door

The wild and rainy hacked site
that the trolls washed away
Has left a pool of Larry's tears, crying for the day
Why leave me posting here, let me know the way
Many times I've posted alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried [I](to log on)[/I]
And still they lead me back to the long and winding road
GR left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you GR's door

But still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me posting here a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me wait), lead me to you door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Guru, FD nice work! :cool:

Don't say everyone. Francis can lick my balls.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

false tsunami appeals are sickening, often associated with
Nigerian 419 scams which used to be known as the Nigerian Petroleum Company scam. They had over-invoiced their customers and had a load of spare cash to give to you.
The Canadian and Dutch lotteries are dangerous and the subject of considerable interest to the UK Kent police.
The false Bank details phishing and
Ebay phishing identity theft scams are frequently deceptive (don't beleive anyone!).
Over-payment scams are frequent and associated with
money laundering rings offering transaction processing jobs involving your bank account and outright
criminal activity including paedophilia on the internet.
The other generic class of spams involves spammers phishing for valid email addresses to send to. These clever fools would do well to learn the wisdom of Schrodinger's Cat (perhaps better explained here) or Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle or the equivalant which in simple terms boils down to encompassing the possibility that observing an event may change the course of the outcome of that event. By pinging our spam-traps they have exposed to us a greater gamut of the sources from which they are able to send spam. So they expected to gain knowledge of email addresses to which they could attempt to send spam which then cause problems with badly configured servers
but in sending out "pinging" emails to all and sundry addresses they enable us to harden the defences of all our subscribing SpamInsights members.
Tedious mortgage rate and other junk emails which are often quite difficult to diagnose accurately. Our filters often find them easy.
Some sites try to start up by spamming clients of other sites in attempts to lure clients with offers of free advertising. Such sites often grow quite quickly but because entry to such sites is often so easy, surfers using these sites should beware of fraudsters.
Occasionally there are spams which are so crass and absurd that they are really funny and cannot fail to bring a smile to your face!
Some so-called authorities on Spam peddle a myth that most spam comes from remote countries and that none comes from the USA. Such a view promotes a terrible injustice - the reality is that most automated spam tracks down to North America as its source. A smaller amount comes from the UK whilst Nigerians and other West Africans, together with colleagues in the USA, UK and France laboriously use the net for fraudulent schemes. Whilst the "western" view of remote countries is that of impoverished lives, the emanating sources of spam in North America demonstrate both underlying poverty and greed, epitomised by the sight of black beggars in Baltimore disenfranchised by the state without proper education, jobs or prospects.

A short bus ride from central Baltimore leads to contrasting fairy-tale millionaires' communities with individually planted communal spaces. The human race becomes increasingly robotised by the ever more gargantuan administrative processes which rob them of thought and threaten their jobs and make the mass-producers richer leaving greed to become the only way out of poverty.

The two SSs result - Spam and Scam. Antespam.co.uk stops the mass-distribution of both

So...

Where is the upgrade you promised?

Dammit Francois, do you even know what you had here? Pay attention, boy. Longtime members are hesitant to rejoin GR and commit here, we like FD's replacement Caddyshack forum just fine. We kept this place running for you, generating revenue.

It takes time to build online communities, and you are currently throwing away a highly established community of members who support(ed) your site through the years. That's just not good business.

Please get this stuff done as promised so we can resume being a healthy online community the way we used to be before the site got hacked.

i wondered why i couldn't login anymore...
glad you got it fixed...

Good to see this site is about to get back to normal again (about 50 or so diehard posters who have been banned from every pother internet golf forum).

In my absence form this site I have been kicking around golfwrx, sailing close to the wind of another site I am barred from, however I have managed to tone it down just enough to survive over there and only have a few posts deleted without my permission. But I do get the feeling I'm wearing out my welcome over there so this place got fixed just in time.

I would have joined you on the other sites but I had trouble registering so didn't bother. In any case Famous Davis seemed to think he was pope of those dumps just because he set them up. I'm sure that piss ant will think he can waltz back in here and try throwing his weight around like he owns the place because he did own the other places. Well FD, I got news for you pal, you aint leading but two things; Jack and Sh!t. And Jack left town.

Look forward to this site getting back to normal.

Hey spank, good going with the niners making the super bowl. Ravens are my favourite team but the niners are up there, looking like the closest matchup in many super bowls. The two best teams of the playoffs have made it for a change. Good luck to both teams.

Just kiss FD's ring and join the site. It's the only way to redeem yourself. You've been getting dragged through the mud regularly on the other site by several people, mostly just me.

I wonder if in a few years when GR has become stable, if the membership will view Caddyshack as Shottalk. Both were considered an Exodus from GR, though shottalk's formation was for reasons of personality, not technical failures.
I could totally see a new crop of GR members running with the torch and assuming the identity of GR under our watch. Caddyshack might even get invaded by GR members looking to start some sh!t.

For this reason alone, we should wait a few months after this forum has been revived before we come back.
We would get the satisfaction of running off settlers that the American Indians, Native Americans, Red Devils (whatever those drunken bastards like to be called nowadays) never did.
