Are the script kiddies still around?

Hmm... the old thread on the board being hacked has disappeared, and Category 5's post in Talkin' Tropics re. satellite imagery of 2006 storms has changed to a post by "Jim Cantore". Are the script kiddies still messing around? Is there anything we can do?

I was wondering what happened to Category 5 who was later changed to Jim Cantore. I suspect hackers and script kiddies. I wonder why they would attack this forum???????? I've seen this happen at political boards and that is not surprising, but a weather board????????????? :roll:

I think this may be related to the server move - if the new server was not firewalled, it'd be wide open to a hacker attack.

Yea, so I made a new Category. :wink:

I like this name better actually. I should send mr. Script Kiddie the phone number for Jack Kevorkian as a token of thanks. 8-)

I'd be giving him a favor.
