Victim Of Hackers

Howdy All,
I've been away from the board for a while, except for a few times that I've been able to find a few minutes to jump on and read a few posts. When I went onthe other day and was welcomed by the piece of &#!% that had hacked the board, it scared the hell outta me! I thought my computer had been hacked. I'm glad that we have Kevin to save us from these punks. I'm also glad that the board is back up and running. As far as moving to another site or board or whatever is decided, if it will keep these punks from bothering us again, I'm all for it. And as for helping pay for it, I'd be more than happy to help out any way I can. This board is a lifesaver for me, and I sure don't want to lose it.

Kevin, if we do move, please let me know. Email me or something, and let me know what I need to do, okay? I'm not the brightest when it comes to computers.

As always, my best to all,
Colorado Bob

Hi all,
I so the terrible image and was greatly depressed by all that happens. Thanks to Kevin, our Board is working again.
It would be good idea if the Board will be more secure.
Regards,
Vera

Hi all,

Kevin, count me in if we have to pay,
just let me know what I have to do.

Emmanuel.

Thanks to all for the offers of help.

I do believe it's time to move to another more updated forum system. The vbulletin owned license is $160 but that's a one time fee. I would prefer to go with the owned license which will allow dukewayne.com to use it indefinitely.

I would agree that it's better to "own" than to rent, Kevin. Send me a PM with a mailing address and I'll send you a money order.

I too am willing to send my share to move to a more secure forum. Do you have a PayPal account. It might be easier to send it that way as well. Either way let us know. Thanks Kevin.

Kevin,
Did you ever decide what you want to do about switching over to vbulletin? Please keep us up to date on your plans/intentions so we can help defray your expenses if and when you change over.

Hi Kevin

Count me in on the cost I can pay via paypal / cheque whatever.

Best

Mike

Ditto for me. I'll be glad to contribute.

Hi All

The best way once Kevin gets everything organised would be for him to send private message to those who have made an offer.

If he has paypal account that would be the simplest method for most members.

Mike

Thanks for your offers of support!

I'm looking to try to tackle this before the end of the year, so we can start enjoying the new system in 2007.

I do have a paypal account that can be used so members can contribute to the "New Forum Fund" but this is voluntary and there isn't and never will be any requirement to pay for any function on this site! I feel this place has to be free for all to enjoy!!

If your interested in helping out by donating to the forum software then please PM me directly.

At this time, I'm looking at getting the vBulletin (Owned License), so once we have reached the $160 mark then no further donations will be accepted..

Hi Guys,

As you can see,near the top of our message board,
is the caption,

[ATTACH]1158]Donate to the forum upgrade fund!

From Kevin's earlier post, it doesn't take
a lot to raise the amount required!!

If we have many members donating a small amount we're there.

OVER TO YOU FOLKS!!

Thanks to all who have donate so far!!

We are at $105 which means there is only $55 to go.

Once we raise the $160 then I'll remove the donate button at the top of the page.

Again thanks and it'll not be long before we'll be moving in...

Just another 5 members,
donating say just

$10.00 each,
and we'd have cracked it!

. . . or 10 members donating just $5 each . . . it sure would be a great Christmas present to all of us (and yes, we have already made a donation ).

Chester and the Mrs.

We have reached $135! $25 to go.

We have reached our goal!!

Thanks to all who have contributed. Now on to the next step...

Hi Kevin

Glad to hear the cost is covered.

From 2007 we will be more secure and hopefully "hack" free.

Mike
