Site News What happened yesterday

Its all good, i'd rather the site shut for a day, then a bug popping up. Thanks for looking out for us.

 

Well better shut the forum down to be sure than to have everyone pick up a virus.

I feel the staff was in the right.

 

Nice looking out, Sara. =D

 

btw, something i'm wondering, what made u think there was a virus in the first place?

 

A member was complaining about a link appearing in his posts. Roxasvs.Riku and Arc thought it was a leech ad, leading to a virus coming through the site via those links and infecting them and damaging the forum. So we closed the forum.

 

oh wow, that's wierd. but that was a good call, if that happened to me, i would probably just would've dismiss it as nothing

 

Oh I was wondering why. Thanks Sara! ^_^ And by the way it's Arc and I. . . . kidding... dont warn me. D=

 

Like I said before, the link led to a download file the attacked the user's hard drive. The bug was created to cause system crashes and boot failures. It was possible to still pick up the adware, but only by actually clicking on the infected link. The forum was never infected, only Xadllas (who I haven't seen since the incident...) appeared to pick up this nasty bug. I'm going to contact him to make sure he is ok... sorry again folks.

 

Most definately!!! I really think no apology is even needed; thanks for looking out for us ^^

 

Whoa...that's totally creepy. Thank you for making sure the rest of us didn't get it...you guys are awesome!

 

whew, good to hear. I was worried that something serious was gona happen...

 

Sara, it is better to close down the forum for a little while than beeing unknowing what could have happen to the forum, you did the right decision.
You never know besides it is better to close a little while than members getting the virus and goes to the forum and then the forum cracks down.

Good decision (:

 

Sorry I'm late, but ohh so that's what happend. Indeed, I was wondering about that too. I'm glad nothing serious happend.
