from what I uncerstand the hacking of our site also led to the taking down of some of our great site providers commercial sites as well, hence the new security drive!

If a hacker wants to hack us they will likely be able to get in some way or another – living in constant fear and reducing the utility of the things we use / changing our behaviour to ‘safe ‘ mode is…… well…. i guess its just a good allegory for modern life post 9/11 actually 😥
Damn.
When someones business intrests are at stake (I beleive he has lost clients due to the hacking via VWar) I think it only sensible to avoid these sort of plug ins until he can be sure of the security, Kind of like you saying “well you’re going to die at some point anyway, so you might as well carry on smoking drinking and driving at ludicrously high speeds”

erm well actually wolf I DO say that – in a roundabout way. I regularly put my life at risk in a variety of ventures with that philosophy in mind 🙂 i think smoking is stupid for sure… but then I thought surfing was stupid this morning as i got dragged along some rocks and thrown from a great height onto a beach while surfing waves that were too big for me.
Each to their own 🙂
The site could be hacked… betting plug in or no betting plug in. Im just saying maybe its a better philosophy to chill out a bit over these things.
why hasnt any1 replied to my thread asking for a potted history of what actually happened to the site? Id be interesed to know.)
Quick Rundown…
Forums great
Ogayme arrives
Ogayme nerds decide that they want to use forums for gheyness
Ogayme arrives on Forums
Insane ups past 6000 post count telling Ogame is for gheys and it should be fucked off 🙁
No one listens
Ogayme continues its homosexual antics on forums
Insane gives up and spams all but ogayme threads
Ogaymers have fall out *apparently due to arguments over who dropped the soap*
*XDCUK Site 2 Hacked in retaliation by ghey flag burning terrorists*
XDCUK down for weeks.. Mags loses Business with new born on way 🙁
XDCUK Site 3 up and running .. Insane down to 0 posts 🙁
…………………………
And here we all are.. nice and cosey isnt it
iNSANE that’s your version of what happened. Here’s the truth:
Forums okay, but lacking quips about marsupials.
Ogame Arrives
Neon Arrives
The higher lifeforms that are the Ogame XDC Alliance players improve the boards profile
Quips about Koalas begin
iNSANE attempts to prove that Ogame is for gays over 2500 posts
The Ogamers are proven to be all skillful, l33t and extremely hetrosexual
Neon makes a funny comment about Steve Jobs
iNSANE admits the error of his ways and the XDC Ogame Alliance forgive him
Site disappears
General consensus amongst Ogamers is that it was iNSANE’s fault and we should sacrifice him to our god
Site returns
Toothy bares his chest.
Although the site had slowed down considerably prior to it dissappearing, which I thought was attributed to somebody running a phishing scam from one of the servers. The slowdown happened at least two weeks before the crash.The guys who hacked us were some religious whackos who played Ogame though weren’t they?

tLol – that gets to the heart of the matter :o)
If only we had listened to Cassandra at the start! He saw it all – saw it all in the runes!!!
😛
I think our site is always at risk from hackers – it being a gaming site – what if we beat a clan full of Jahovas witnesses at BF2 – They would hack our site to shit… so
Why dont we move the site to a different provider to Magickers other ventures – that way there will be no financial backlash to him if things get nasty.
Unless you got some kind of crazy cheap deal with the current one…
