I think the forum has been hacked...
« on: February 22, 2010, 07:16:36 PM »
I tried to e-mail Andrew about this last night and the message came back with a postmaster reply...but my husbands account which use to say "Peter Pan" now says "johnbard88" in my inbox and someone else complained in the bugs & errors section about the same kind of thing...I don't know what's going on but looks like we can't even e-mail Andrew...if anyone has contact with him by phone you might wanna call and find out if something is going on...I PM'd him on here too but havn't had a reply now and it's been days.

The site's working fine for me. From my own home computer and various others at my university and at local libraries. Actually, I did a lecture on JM Barrie and Anno the other day at school, and explored through the sites via a projector screen so people in  the audience could see...ALL CLEAR. All was working fine. But when Andrew comes on, if something is wrong on his side, he'll find out soon.

Maybe its the google attacks! Ah, internet battles. How war keeps evolving... you know how the Chinese and Americans have always been concerned about who holds the ultimate database on JM Barrie!

Fear not, Dafydd is on the case... but I'm in Paris, which is why I didn't respond earlier - and about to head south to Marseilles to see The Boy Who Hated Mothers!  GOSH has given me the OK to hoist my adaptation on line, which I'll do when I get back to Wales. As to the forum being hacked, it looks fine to me, but I'll let Dafydd investigate.

I haven't run into any problems either, myself.  But I hope that if there is anything wrong, it'll be fixed and soon.

No, i think that post above Andrew is just a random post (no others from that user, notice). Like the one that on the board the other day about which colour headphones he should used? Just a random post.

yea, just some random spammers in the General Disccusion, nothing like when the site had a landslide of attacks from Gieco and the Russian porn industry some time back!
