Guest kjun12 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Anyone know what the problem is with Baht Stop? It has been out of operation for a while now. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 This is what the site says: Sorry, Bahtstop is temporarily unavailable. We hope to return to full operations and posting as soon as possible. Two apparent attempts to hack the site have necessitated shutting down to install counter-measures to maintain control of the site's administration.. IMHO, the owner needs to update to the latest version of the forum software. Why? They fix vulnerability issues with each version. If I remember correctly, and it has been a long while since reading that board, they used a very old version and never updated. A VERY bad idea and makes it easy to hack. Quote

This is what appears at the foot of the message screen you refer to in your post #2 above Michael: Invision Power Board v2.1.7 © 2011 IPS, Inc. Is that what you are referring to? If so, then anyone with malicious intent can see that and will know instantly if the site is easily hackable or not. Why open another thread, when the one already dealing with this subject has been do so well. Usually I would agree! But the title of this thread Baht Stop is down, is a lot more respectful than Another one bites the dust, much as we all love the Queen original. Quote
Guest kjun12 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 So sorry I offended you by not knowing about your post. Why open another thread, when the one already dealing with this subject has been do so well. Quote
Guest HeyGay Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 THATS STANGE I WAS TOLD BAHT STOP IS COMING BACK ON TODAY ANY TIME NOW MY INFO TELLS ME? Quote
Rogie Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 THAT'S STRANGE, I WAS TOLD BAHT STOP IS COMING BACK ON TODAY ANY TIME NOW MY INFO TELLS ME? Oh dear, CAPITALS - looks like I've severely tested your patience HeyGay. Well actually your info and my info were both correct! I got 'my' info from a message on Baht Stop that said they'd be back on line 'by the 30th'. Today's the 29th, so the info Baht Stop posted via myself on this message board proved right. Quote
