UseBB Community

Yes, we are back for now. UseBB received some new anti-abuse features among the usual changes that were made in CVS since the release of 0.8. So, we're on 1.0-CVS now, which means the freshest code there is available at this moment.

The attacking matter is not yet resolved, I am working on sending in a complaint to the police this week. If you don't know what I'm talking about, a full explanation will follow later.

In the mean time, welcome back. If you encounter any problems with this CVS version, please post them in bug reports.

Some changes that also happened to the forums:
- contact information in profiles is now hidden for guests
- never activated members are hidden
- a username is now limited to 30 characters
- the testing forum is no longer open to guests

Nice to see the community back, was getting bored not having it around :p.

Really hope you get things settled without much trouble...

Nice to see, been missing the site.

Hope things get resolved.

Nice to have the community back.

A quick note, the person that attacked us is still around and even registered an account (which is hidden because it has never been activated). Last week I have found the real Romanian name of this person on a forum, so this will be used in filing the complaint (probably Friday). I will also try to get information from Hotscripts about the negative ratings.

I have been in contact with the FCCU (Federal Computer Crime Unit) and RCCU (Regional ...) and they directed me first to the local authorities. It depends on what the investigation says whether the FCCU will cooperate in finding this person.

To be continued...

Thanks for the information Dietrich.

well thats good to hear, although you already said youd continue.


anyway, keep up the good work

Update: yesterday, I have been to the local police. A complaint was filed, and we will see how it progresses.

nice to see the community back on its feet
.. i hope that 'bad guy' you are after is dealt with good enough to avert him from doing it again ...
