PDFF is now on forced login status as a precautionary measure after the hacking of our shoutbox.

Then your hosting service's claim that you are hack proof were not completely true.

The shoutbox was not hosted by IF. It was a 3rd party applet.

Not surprised why some would like to destroy this forum.
lesson: It pays to live behind the shadows. I would not want to be 'Pestanionized' or 'Fernandonized'.

It is not always easy to destroy a place where truth is revealed and discussed, and the actions of those who attempted to achieve it, can only reinforce the determination to expose and rally a scorn against their overwhelming guilt.

We're back to forced login status - guests with highly unusual IPs (up to 12 sequential numbers) are browsing different forums and we would like to determine whether they are benign or malicious bots or human browsers.
PDFF will return to open status as soon as we feel the forums are safe.
Thank you.

I believe they're crawler/spider bots for search engines but just to be sure I'm logging and tracing each of these unusual IPs.

ive noticed something - the lurkers have registered when we are on forced log-in - why not make this permanent so everyone logs in every time :thumb:

it cuts both ways... either they register or don't bother with the effort and discontinue lurking....
