FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi all,

As im sure most of you addicts have noticed, the site has been down for about a week now. While I was OS, the database was hacked.

I've since created a new database & restored the last good backup to it. We were hacked on the 7th, the backup I've restored is from the 6th so we've only lost a days posting fortunately.

Im sure we'll find the odd problem with the site, so just let me know as you come across them & I'll iron them out as we go.

Cheers,
Bennoz.

Woooot! I was so lost for the past week man

Was checking this site like 10 times a day. haha.

Wow thought it would never come back :\

lol was a bit worried there for a while as we have a cruise coming up this weekend

My life was so empty for the last week... This site is my crack.

Thankyou.

Rofl its funny seeing all these addicts trying to get on the site, yet myself was doing the same Lol but good that its back on WELCOME ALL

I thought you were OS getting married... Even PM'd Aza...

Nah, went to a wedding thou.

I even annoyed Bennoz overseas a couple of times

Id just like to say on behalf of all of us, THANK YOU BENNOZ. Its a pretty tough ask to have to get something like this sorted straight after getting back from hollidays.

And sorry for hassling you on your break.

Im not an addict I can give it up any time I want. any time I tell you ANY TIME!!

THANK YOU x10000000000000

I never though I would get so attached to talking to people Ive never met, but I was proven wrong, haha, So glad its working again

No probs guys

Oh & did I tell you I hate databases?

Well, I hate databases.

Oh, and I hate databases.

You'll probably notice a few changes I've made already. I've updated the questions & answers in the spam filter, as thats where they got in. Lesson learnt is not to put the answer in the question!

I've also changed all the admin password & the database connection accounts & passwords. I've also applied the latest nuke patch. Have also set the database to backup daily & dump onto my pc.... so I dont have to wait 3 days for the host to supply one

You guys addicts ?? Psssh!

I don't even own an fto anymore and i was checking daily too. Now that is sad lol.

Cheers Benooz.

Lol....checking this site everyday and not working i thought there was something wrong with my comp so was full checking firewalls and anti virus stuff to see if it was blocking it lol

The only database system you should hate with a passion is Oracle.

And dstocks got a lecture regarding security and default passwords. He may pass it on to you Bennoz, but I never give up a chance to lecture him since he loves doing it to me

YES the sites back i was checking the site so many times a day.
Thanks Ben for getting it fixed.
I cant wait for the cruise this weekend

haha i got a text at 6.30 am saying ftoaus was back up! now thats dedication haha go robbie!

cheers ben, had to fill my forum void with sx4 forums... and theyre all hairdressers and house wives.
