Were the forums down?
« on: 16 December 2002, 01:56 »
probably a stupid question, but I couldn't get the site to come up. finally after about a few hours the site came back up but I still couldn't log onto the forums. It was weird.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

The servers were moved, so was the DNS and mail.
As the DNS updates, you will notice that everything
will slowly begin working again. The reason behind
all of this chaos is some idiot that can hardly
manage to talk decided to take out something
personal against the people who run this website.
The matter is resolved. Perhaps I'll post his email
here so you can all tell him what you think of this.

The site was hacked huh. Well that sucks, especially since the site is hosted on servers that arent located near the webmaster, so he has no direct control over a lot of the security.

Well, it was hacked, but not from the outside. It was an "inside job" from what I understand.

*Macman becomes paranoid... again*

It could have been any one of us. I think it was my mortal enemy who ruined my chances with Christina Aguilara! That's right, it was TheQuirk! Who else would be capable of such fiendishness?

Macman, Dosman, Winman, no Tuxman, we are open to things so it is "Man & currently a Linux User"

Screw macs, ill use there OS when i have source, but i might get a G4 and put Linux on it.

As for the forums being down, i was posting here from my mums laptop at my nans house in the country, the modem kept droping out so i went to bed, woke up... no forums in the morning, no forums... until today.

Whoever this wanker is, i have a personal problem... with him... tell me his phone number, and address please. What color clothes does he were? What car does he drive, does he have a bitch? is he into drugs?

I will be stalking him in no time!

Download the Darwin source if your so adamant about it.

Take off OSX and Run darwin with X11. But I think you may wan't to give OSX a try first, agter using Linux for a few weeks, It's not nearly as well concived a GUI as OSX. Good, but still needing work... Wich is why I wanna programm on it and become an l337 h4x0r!!
