Oh God... occurring often on other forums... *faints*

Maybe we should remove the links to forums that have been hit. I know of one already, but I'm not sure if there are more. How many have actually been hit?

I'm not really sure of the number that have been hit - but it seems like when a forum link is posted here, it has a tendency to get trolled/exploited by vengeful outsiders (or maybe someone is playing mind games and set up a hacking incident with the intention to shock visitors; who knows?). 

Some of the links of hit forums have been removed, but if you see a link here on Scratch to a forum that has been hit pretty badly, hit the "report" button so a moderator or a Scratch Team member can remove them.

Make your forums so that only approved members (Trusted) can post links and images.

How do you get hacked on PunBB-Hosting?

So far, the only forum that I know that was hit was The Forums.

Remember, perma-ban on first sight of yucky images!

Don't go to Tackle Programming, it's really bad.

We'll never understand people.

Thebuilderdd's TACKLE Forums got hit bad a few mins ago, but we have it cleared up, with much better security. If anyone wants to know how to make forums really secure without much work, tell me, and i will show you.

Make a new group, and only allow that new group to post images and links. It'll beat the heaven out of them.

It's not actually external forums, it's PunBB forums. It seems their security is lacking.

I want a forum upgrade to FluxBB 1.4.6!

Well, any forum, regardless of the platform it uses, is still open to the possibility of being messed up by outsiders somehow whether it be through some troll posting bad stuff to someone abusing a security exploit - hence why I am referring to any external forums in general.

They actually censored PunBB. I think that's what the scratch forums are hosted on, guys. Plus it really accomplishes nothing. Why censor it? It's just a forum hosting site. Just because other forums related to scratch got hacked on it does NOT mean you should censor it.  There may not exactly be a reason not to, but there's no reason to do it either. It's like when you censored SJ. (I had to abbreviate.) Just because things are on there attacking scratch doesn't mean you should censor any mention of the hosting site, Just like PunBB. If you want to censor it get rid of the part that has to do with scratch.
