News: We're back!
We're back from the dead with a fresh new look (thanks to spigmike). It took a little longer than expected due to my host being slow, but everything should be in order. I will be writing more about what happened later on. For now, I just hope you enjoyed your day off.
By the way, I highly recommend that you change your password. If you don't, you might risk your account getting hijacked.
KINSNOT: I highly, HIGHLY recommend KeePass for random generation of passwords. BOOMSNOT: Or random keyboard mashings. SUPERTAILSNOT: Also, please welcome our two newest staff members: Broozer and Foursword4! SMALLSNOT: I want my own note too. D: SNNSNOT: words TECHSNOT: Why am I contributing to this silly fad? RAIBYSNOT: Because it's fun, Techokami! SAMUSLOGBOOK: My notes are high-tech. DISPARISNOT: what is this i dont even BLUMIERESNOT: I wanted to be part of this :3 smkdan with snot suffix: *poast* FS4SNOT: Might as well help with the list :3 STEVESNOTE: how did this get here i am not good with fad LUDWIGSNOT: My cat is being so spammy right now...

HHSNOT: This text box is way too small!
All of this epic drama based on this whole Arbe hacking us, Kyo helping him, and other stuff, all we need now is for someone to write a manga about it.

(Yes this my first post, I never met Kyo but you all seemed like good friends so, um, sorry about the loss)EDIT:Kyo appears to be back and better than ever, with the name Silk Spectre, so um, congratulations.

Using stronger passwords does help. If they were to get read access to the database they'd find the passwords encrypted using a one-way hash. The only way to reverse that hash into a password is a brute-force attack. The longer and more complex your password, the more difficult that is.
The exploit used here involved getting encrypted passwords and using them without having to know what they actually are. It of course has been fixed. (In fact, while fixing it we discovered and fixed a more severe exploit as well. So thanks for that, suckers. )
"Then what would be the point in changing our passwords?"
Because if the hackers already know your password prior to the attack, and you do not change it, it is simply a matter of entering your account by typing it in the password field. At least by changing it, you are guaranteed more security.
Plus, it takes a mere 30 seconds. If you don't have 30 seconds in your life that you can use to do that, then chances are you shouldn't even be on the Internet anyway.
It seems that some people misinterpret this site and its purpose, since its been hacked everyonce in a while.
Don't think that the site has any errors (and if, that they'll be fixed), but more that the admins and mods should use safer passwords.
Btw, nice new layout, looks better than the dark one.
And, can give someone Arbes location to extinguish him?
Thanks.
When Arbe hacked the site, I also saw that Kaeru was an administrator.
Also, almost every staff member had a name change, and none of the new names were not funny at all. Boom, I thank you for cleaning up the mess.
It's really sad to see a "hacking party" now. Will be there a list of the users involved? I wasn't paying too much attention to the site this time except for the advanced hacking party..
Password has been changed. I've enjoyed yesterday watching/listening to the egg song.. two times.
I really quite don't understand why Kyoseron did what she did, but usually thats not like her to mess with any board she's gone to...
She may have a spicy attitude about bull shit people, but not crippling other peoples property...
Oh well, I guess most of us have changed either for good or bad, if your reading this kyo, you still have me as a friend....
Well, that was... interesting. I've never actually seen the site being hacked before. Does this happen often?
By the way, I love the new look for the site. I was using the microchip-looking setup before, but I like this much MUCH more. It looks sort of 3-D-ish. (That looks odd in writing)
