Oustanding job Joe! Great catch.

Geez, I haven't been on IRC in years. I wonder if I still have a copy of mIRC lying around...

And great job, Joe!

I know for a fact I DON'T... I got fed up w/IRC about the turn of the decade. Different strokes for different folks, though. But back then, MIIRC was the best, as I recall... it's what I used. My problem was with IRC, not the client.

this flashchat thing was almost exactly like IRC, on say, efnet, you could just take on #SRP or #razortalk or whatever and then just make sure you have a bot idling that gives mod status to the correct people. That doesn't cost a thing.

Thanks for the great work Joe! I'm just wondering wtf's their problem and why they'd wanna mess with our site.

so they're sure to keep trying to find another way to invade sites such as ours.

What, exactly, is it that they would want to do once they got wherever they wanted to go? It doesn't make sense to me.

If there is not a short explaination, don't worry about wasting time to explain it to the dummy, here. It wouldn't be the first time I was confused about something.

Yeah, it's been at least that long for me, too. I was never fond of it.

But I'm willing to slap you with a trout for old times sake?

Joe, I checked with AVG Free. Since then I've also checked my comp with Norton (the antivirus, not the hone :P) and it came out clean. I am hoping it's something I picked up elsewhere, but I don't DL too many files and I'm careful about it, so when you started talking about hackers leaving their crap here, I thought there might be something to it.
Bill, would you like some company as explaining certain niceties in life is going to take a looooong time?

Any way to get a physical address on the hoople heads causing the damage? I'm not doing anything important next week... I could drop by and say "hi".

Hoople Head, I haven't heard that since I watched Dead Wood

I like to think there is a special bad place for bad people to go when they die, but for hackers and other losers that sit in their parents basements in their underoos eating Cheeto's screwing up others peoples computers for the hell of it, I like to think there is an even worse place for them
