Refuge for displaced HWC'ers.... club?
Oh hi! I even forgot I registered here ages ago, but seeing as how HWC has been down for days I thought I'd come by here and hang around (as long as you guys don't mind, that is).
So, I'm cmetaphor, and I haven't been on a tech forum in 5 days or so... going through withdrawal. You may have heard: hardwarecanucks.com got hit with a lovely vBulletin exploit and has been mostly down ever since. Pleace help, o fine people of TPU, to refuge myself and any other hwc'ers that may come by... we're quite friendly and fun to get along with! PS: no off topic section? Oops. |

It's fine. These things don't happen very often and you and the rest of the Canucks are always welcome here.

Even though I'm Canadian, I decided to mostly be on TPU and use HWC for the BST forum
TPU's a great place, I bet you'll like it here

What exactly happened to HWC btw? does vBulletin exploit mean that a douche found a way to take down the site with a flaw from vbulletin?

Welcome to TPU. It's not the first time we've taken in refugees.
![]() If you need any assistance just give one of the mods a holler, if you need beer, drugs or hookers you're on your own.

jokes aside, I really do appreciate all the welcome you guys have shown me. Just don't ask me to start folding for you guys on my server just yet :P some HWC members have been barking up that tree for quite some time and the response is still the same - can't afford it Some day perhaps...

Damn, site down again!
I am just about through my withdrawals though. ![]() Are we still targeted or is it an extensive cleanup? Damned annoying that you cannot defend your reviews without someone dumping on you. Maybe we need some counterespionage? Any word on when we will be back up? I need advice on a loptop purchase.......

I believe guys they may have to move to a new vbulletin or do an upgrade or something. I am in the dark too TBH. It was attacked repeatedly though...they would put it up, and it would be taken down again.
Looks like some folks did not like Sky's reviews so they hired someone it seems. I was worried it was Chimp Challenge related (attempt to hinder our recruiting and conversion) but I don't believe it was the case....just a fluke that it happened during the CC. |
