    Quoted from Friengineer:

    Yeah. Why is it the site is always hacked? Moto z force phone.
    How does this happen?

    Because Casey doesn’t fully understand what he is doing? He should have reached out for help a long time ago it sounds like from reading this thread.

    Quoted from ChrisHibler:

    The other was by a fellow in California that has a lot of Bally experience, but that initiative died for whatever reason.

    Myself, Mario V. (Pinthetic), Kbliznick, and a few others were the ones you were referring to.

    It wasn’t a wiki and we were working very closely with Rick at BAA and Gottlieb licensing to retain copyright and present material that is copyrighted.

    Some of the steam was lost because many of us had life changing events (having children, moving across the country, career changes, etc.) that took away time we had for the project.

    I am honestly not surprised this wiki was compromised.... it was a prepackaged installer that didn’t get regular security updates. There was such a rush to get it on the web to “replace clay’s guides” that is wasn’t thoroughly vetted.

    Hopefully you can get it sorted out for those who need it. It seems like it is a good source for a lot of people. Maybe a new captain of the security ship can get you steered in the right direction to alleviate a lot of the problems you are experiencing.

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    To be fair it's been up for years and been mostly ok. The malware landscape has changed a lot and sites that got by ok are now getting hit. Gone are the days when you could put up a site without concern for regular security updates.

    I don’t disagree at all. It is just unfortunate that guys like Hibler that are the true backbone of that site, are now in a tough spot because of something that is beyond his control. That is a ton of time for these guys they aren’t going to get back if the ship can’t be righted.
