Default New Forum

Friday Night, around 1-2 AM, our phpbb forums were hacked using an injection. The attacker got admin privileges, then proceeded to change forum names and posts to such things as "Soandso Is gay", and whatnot.

After this event, and many in the past, we decided it was time to scrap the phpbb board. I have purchased us a new VBulletin board. LethalEncounter and I worked the last few days to put the board up.

Currently, this means that new users aren't able to modify their login accounts, and etc. We are working on these and as we progress we will bring back the registration processes.

This forum...sucks ^^. Nah, its not bad, thanks for the effort to put it back up. We need to find the SoBs that h4x3d the forums and kill both them and their families. I lost my cool title and my butts, /tear. :(
