STF crashed again?!?

[oasis]

The site is up now ... but barely. They still have some tweaking to do.

thanks for the compliments. it is really just a matter of technology selections and how big of a target you are. phpBB which STF is built on has been a BIG target for the past year or so. unless you are right on top of the security announcements and patches, you run the risk. we are on vBulletin here, which is not open source, and doesn't seem to get attacked as much (but it still happens).

it is amazing how inconvenient a$$holes make life.

btw, i am still working on the revamp of this site. i changed direction yet again and am having to do a lot of rework, but this change will bring a lot of cool functionality with it. no change expected to the forums though. these will stay the same, but will be integrated to the front end of the site (if all goes well).
