Recent database errors
Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on.
We've been hit, twice now, by a bot trying to post spam on the board using malicious BB code which is corrupting the table thread database.
I don't know how long it was down this time, but I have to say, both times I've reported it to our webhost, through email, they've had it fixed within 5 minutes.
I was told over 200 of their clients were hit with it. Our webhost specializes in vBulletin hosting so that's a lot of databases they had to fix in a short time, and to be able to get to us within 5 minutes of me reporting it, I think is pretty amazing.
Anyway, they said they are working on preventing it from being able to happen again. So hopefully this will be the last time.
