I spend 90% of my time on MI now as well, mainly due to the hours of operation and the server always being up.

Still enjoy YW - just frustrating that it's down every night/morning, and that the admins obviously don't care.

The mods do a great job with the (lack of) tools they are given.

same here ^ ive been dedicating most of my forum browsing time to MI but I still lurk around here.

I would venture a guess that the admins have in fact been watching, and that they have taken steps to rectify the problem. I haven't had issues with the site for almost a week now. I agree with the notion that they haven't publicly commented on it to prevent encouragement of the attacker(s).

I've been here since I bought my car in 09 and can think of once I've seen an admin post. It's unfortunate, but this community is still pretty good IMO. Yaris is a tertiary interest of mine though, so I generally spend a few weeks posting and then fall off the world for a few weeks.

Anyway, there are much worse forums out there.

i doubt it. more likely is that whoever was doing it was ip blocked, or got bored and went on to bug someone else.

I could make a pretty damn good argument that I shouldn't have, after the way Bueller treated me after the hack. But I don't roll that way.

With that said, I built Micro Image to represent all small cars, have relevant content and have 100% uptime if possible. I have dedicated a server to just the one site. Nothing wrong with offering an alternative. YW dominates for the one car it represents.

i kinda find this funny...... MI is down today for me. okay garm, 99.9% is still very good.

id just like to say website crashes are fairly normal and should be expected, technology sucks. i dont hold anything against YW or MI. yes YW is down more and i'd also like if they did something about it but hey, its a free fourm and i dont have to deal with advertising popups. im happy with what we have

Just my $0.02
