Thanks for all your work on getting the site back up. Everybody was starting to wonder why I was getting so much done. :rotfl:

No way! Pro-touring.com is probably one of the few things keeping a lot of us awake at our desks most days.

Glad it's back!

I heard that ProStreet.com hacked us because they were tired of us getting all the press.

Larry...can you confirm this rumor?

Waazzzuppp!!! I just popped in on my break to look at some stuff and surprise. I had not intended for the site to be open to posting yet. I must have checked the wrong box. I wanted to do more testing with the moderators only. Doh! I guess testing it this way works too. LOL!

Thank's Larry and crew for getting the site back up so fast. The Wife was real happy with her honey do list. Needless to say like everyone else missed the site.

When you have nothing else to do because you can't , you miss this place even more.

I was on line when it started to go down. Some strange things happened for about 10 min. or so and then nothing. I also noticed 3 times each day befor it happened that I couldn't get in.

The next time it happens I am going to let everyone else know just in case we can get a heads up that something else isn't right.

I did however get to see some sites I had bookmarked and hadn't been to for awhile.

I was at Dave Pozzi's site and was happy to see all of the updates. Your site is getting better all of the time Dave.

Glad PT.com is back
:cheers:

I'm planning on a web site revamp this winter and organize it better.

When PT.com went down, I went over to the Lateral-G forum and saw a thread from Jody about what happened here. I can't believe what scumbags are out there.

I have a paranormal site also using the VB software.

We have been hacked many times because we banned a pimple-faced young man in Europe with nothing better to do.

He could actually change the admin IPs and passwords at will.

There are a lot of holes in the VB format. After much work and research, we updated to the latest security and finally we are safe.

I know nothing about operating a website but I am SO glad the system is backed up and nothing more than a day or so was lost!!

Great job Larry and Mods!!!

It is amazing how addicting, and necessary, it has become to check in so often... https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/11/23_30_126-1.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=_undefined)

Maybe it was Corky Bell? He probably got all upset for not getting the media attention he deserved for his part on the MotiV8R?:lmao:

I think Larry took it down on purpose just to remind us how much we appreciate and depend on this site! :) j/k

It did make us think about how vunerable we are to the same situation...

Thanks Larry...and all who assisted in recovering this site!

Somebody has to own that robot, right?

Too bad we can't find them and exploit a few of their holes :naughty:

I'm using Firefox and it looks the same as it always has. What browser are you using?

I'm on IE7 and the quick reply text box is very small in my browser as well.

o.k. I see it now. I tried Firefox and IE6

I will look into it or ask Brian to.
