Exclamation Look what is happening to our friends at 6speed!

I am a fan of all Porsche Boards especially this board, simply because it is the oldest and the originator..........

One of my other favorite Porsche boards is under attack and is being held hostage by the world's foremost internet HACKER! He has single handedly taken 6speed and is disrupting our whole community!
What was once a Porsche enthusiast safe haven has become a place where you can’t speak your mind or share the common passion without fear that 6speed will be shut down by an outside intruder. One with too much time, money and a major power trip.

I'm writing as a warning to all boards.........It can happen to any of our beloved web forums

Are you referring to K? I think that is a great thread personally. It is far from being the whole site. I do like this forum just as much, and it's a little more reliable and stable, not to mention less Ferrari bashing.

There were a few threads that got censored...funny stuff. Hard to keep computer geek gearheads on topic sometimes. (oh, wait, that's me).

You know who I'm talking about. I will not say the name to keep this board safe. You are not seeing the big picture... He has taken control of the board and can shut it down at any time with a stoke of the key. I am here to warn the admins to step up the secuitry so if he comes here to promote his Rally, your board can be safe .....

I have no clue what you are talking about, so if you want to come here and post something, either let people understand what you are talking about or don't bother and don't make it sound like a conspiracy theory.

Jean,
Yes I know it sounds nuts!! I've seen it happen, it started this past Saturday .....
This Hacker came onto 6speed to post. As he did so, members started to flame him. He was not happy with the the response from the admins and took the board down Sat. till Sun.

It's been crazy ever since with members being ban, the board down and post deleted.

I hope this clarifies this situation.

Thanks for the explanation. It's a shame that these things are so uncontrollable.

Yep, happened to Pistonheads a few weeks ago, think PH is protected now.

Quite ridiculous how easily the hacking can be done.

Red Targa is referring to Kim Schmitz, aka "Kimble". Google Kim Schmitz. Interesting.
