I'm curious as to who was the fuckwad who had access to the Admin account and deleted the boards.
Are you fucking kidding me?!?! That has GOT to be the lamest shit I have ever seen.
Mary, I sure hope you changed the PW for that account (if of course you weren't the one who did it, which I highly doubt, but if you were, BUGGER OFF!) so whoever it was can't do it again.

Yeah, I have to agree there, that is probably about the lamest display of childishness I've ever been witness to. If it was a member of the boards who did it, banning would be almost too kind.

its disgusting...
Snow in case you weren't aware, when uhh....the former Owner who's name now escapes me XD - signed off in a fit of immature rage or whateve r- he gave the admin rights over to Arse without discussion nor voting nor whatever.
Arse decided to promte like half of us to admin, so there were at least 5-8 people runing around with admin rights. I really didn't like the setup, and said so, but it stayed.
I expected something LIKE this to be attempted by one or several of them eventually when and if shit hit the fan again - I'm surprised it took this long.
Its disgusting. Someone needs to fess up or come forward or whatever and take their just consequences, which banning would certainly be on that list of possibilities.
Its beyond childish and immature.
I woudl also move, and I said this in the oficer forum that if the curent "admin" doesnt wish to have that responsibility then we appoint one or two of the former moderator/admin staff who DO visit regularly enough and wouldn't mind the bother to be made the ONLY Admins, hand it over to them, for themn to reset the PW and such.
Again like I said, unless whomever it is currently who found it in such a state doesn't have the time nor inclination to maintain sole admin rights.
THis is...ugg..Ijust don't even have words for what I think about such a person.
Now if on the outside chance we were hacked from the outside and not our own "Admins", what can we do to prevent that?

I will be staying on as admin, Frithy. I don't know who did it -- I only know it wasn't me. I won't be foolish enough to share the admin password with anyone again.
One reason I did it was because of all the digs I was getting from you. Figured you would shut the fuck up if you had full access rather than saying all the same sort of crap as you just did in this last post. It worked, since you did shut the fuck up about it.
But since it could have been you or anyone who deleted the forums (and I note that you were posting at the very time when the forums were deleted) I am just not fucking around any more.
If you don't like it, fuck off.

Well...it would probably be good if TWO people had the admin info for the Just In Case scenarios.
Frith...it was Alge's forum. He could give it to whomever he pleased without any discussion, voting or whatever. Forums aren't democracies. A really childish snit would have been to simply delete the forums rather than leave it for the rest of us. We were actually quite lucky in that regard.
In any case, I can't imagine anything happening lately that would prompt deletion.

The forums WERE deleted.
Whomever it was got onto the admin account and deleted the entire forum. Arse had to contact ProBoards support and have them restored from backup.
Yes, it was most definitely a childish snit, at best.

woa Arse - I said nothing that should have resulted in such a frickin harsh response so I dont know why you felt I was attacking you. I didn't do this either, btw, that would be in direct violation of my number one rule . At the time you got it, you said yourself you weren't planning on DOING anything with the admin, that you didn't have the time nor the inclination to be an administrator. I never said I wanted it, don't much care wether I do or not - obviosuly, as I think I used admin powers once since I had them and that was to clarify something for the moderators - something i think you told me to do. I did say that upteen people shoudln't have access. But you felt it was the right move. *shrugs* But when you disappear from these boards for weeks on end, or at least appear that way since you aren't posting - then no, I don't feel that is proper for an "administrator". Because if something hit the fan and you didn't check in for a week it could really go south. Like say if Phar wasn't able to find you the other day to try and fix this... I'm not attacking YOU, dear - I swear. I'm attacking the system that was setup in place that gave AMPLE opportunity for THIS or any other ABUSE of power to occur. that's it. but no, it certainly wasn't me...

Questions that need to be answered:
Are we secure now?
Could this happen again?
Does someone want to step up and help run this site correctly and not in p/t bases?
What options are open to us?
Does anyone care?
Do you like cheese? What kind?
Wheres paladin? He has gone quiet since this happened. You would think he would be the first to start yelling.

Paladin has been very busy, school is starting back up Tuesday.
I couldn't log in and to be honest didn't think much of it at the time what with all the problems we have had here in the past with the too many connections and shit.
and Frith the easiest thing to do here is to blame Arse and play the "I told you so" card. I didn't see the admin things as a problem, the people that knew the password were myself, arse, rexx, nali and you, all of which I can safely say that I could trust NOT to delete the fucking boards.
So who was it that you didn't trust to have the password,ya know since you just knew this would happen.
Another thing to look at here is that the password has been the same since day one as far as I know. How many other folks from back in the day may have the password?
Lets see there was at least three or four other mods correct? Umm most of which left extremely pissed off.............
Then you have me and my recent bullshit and the people that didn't care for it one bit.
Another thing to look at here is that this board is visited by geeks,gamers, and nerds, a lot that are pretty computer savvy and may just have the skills to type in "admin" then take a few very simple guesses at the fucking password.
Or we can just assume that one of the current mods got pissed off at the recent goings on and deleted the boards. :/
Hell I was already accused of logging on and posting when I took my little break and to be honest there is nothing on this board as of late that validates anyone getting pissed off and deleting the boards. The boards have been extremely boring and lame here lately and have been for some time.
All I know is the board and more importantly myself have offended and or pissed off more than a few people so why not show the world how big and bad ya are and just up and delete the boards.
And Arse I agree with you 100%, you should keep the board and run it how you see fit. In fact this board doesn't need much to run it and it damn sure doesn't need much moderation. In fact I say as of now it has way too much.
Anyway if I would have done it I would have first banned everyone and changed everyone's user names and passwords. Then changed the admin password then deleted the boards. After that I would have used the Admin log in info to contact the board providers and tell them to NOT allow the boards to be opened up again or restored.
Well hey, you people have one more conspiracy theory to worry about.

all I want to say to that is...
"I am not blaming arse..." period.
Though Pally you bring up a good point, I had "assumed" that the password I had had been changed since Alge's time. IF it wasn't..welll...yea...
