Whats going on with maria?

carcollector

but thats not where the thread ended up me thinks....

Chip

As far as I can tell from other posts I have seen on here:

She lost her mod status as a result of breaking selling rules.
She now doesnt wish to post on here at the moment (or possibly ever again, it was a bit vague)

Chip

Indeed, but if you start one in there instead, as per the rules, it is less likely to be deleted.

carcollector

people not treating her with respect.

carcollector

this is not abot maria here......its about a mod/database error

Chip

Or just a user error, posting in the wrong section.

FYI, I saw the thread and it was deleted and not put in the policy room.

carcollector

so who is the "deleter" ? seems to me that 1 has a particular interest in the witchhunt...

Mod guidelines are apparently that they should PM the thread starter when they delete a topic, maybe the mod in question is still typing it or something if you havent received it yet.

You may not be a mod Simon but you know full well how to access locked topics. Its called hacking a website and we all know you can do it.

LOL ! Proof or STFU

Rich, you give me far too much credit for my talents mate !

I have never accessed any computer system owned by others without the correct permissions **.

** "permissions" meaning access granted by having the correct username and password(s) given to me by a systems admistrator or their representatives.

Not on this version of the forum software he cant I suspect.

Things are a lot less vulnerable these days.

Chip, you are right that VB is a fair bit more secure than others like PHPBB.
However, I have never attempted or needed to hack any forum site.

My so called hacking experience is limited to control modules (ECU's) within cars.

(AKA...Reverse engineering)

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I know mate, cause when I hacked the forum and renamed the moderators forum the "chip apprecation room" and made myself admin you PM'd me and begged me to tell you how I had done it

danneth

double bluff, this also works well in poker

Chip,
I do remember that conversation

Knowing how to do it and actually doing it are two very differemt things..LOL

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Oh, you only wanted me to tell you how I did it just purely from an acedemic viewpoint

Chip,

While we are on the subject of PHP. I always thought it was funny that they called add ons and modifications to the software "hacks"

Consequently, when "a mate" of mine typed "PHP Hacking" into google, he never got what he wanted
