Hello guys thanks for kind words, All is fine, database recovered, but I am holding it.
Wen to too many modifications that makes it impossible to security upgrade, thus leaving bad security holes.
The trouble is that no BB answers what I want, and I have a bad case of "do'nt fear touching the code" which make updates a pain in the ***..
I am left with :
- letting it like that, but in the fear of the next attack.
- Spending two man days upgrading it
- Throwing this #@&#@&#$ phpbb for something more sensible, but vbulletin my first choice is $$$, mybb, my second does not have a converter, and smf, my third, looses some of the attachment information....
Well, for the moment, I am just spending time thinking about where I will spend my time the most efficiently... Not obvious. I may however bring a bullet proof reduced feature version very soon. -- my best option, buy some time to really decide --
Only the forums are down, the rest of the site is operational...
Thanks for compasion.
BTW you can deny 68.201.112.153 staight away to access your servers ;-) I am not even sure my existing logs will be enough to have his provider ban him [not even sure it is a fixed address]....
