HACKED - Page 13 - Toyota Yaris Forums

And thats fine if they weren't that important, but the stickies were pretty important. Some of them were old enough so they were backed up. The FE subforum though is totally bare. Ah well.

Phaeton · 10-19-2008, 04:55 AM

It was Caviatspe, I just know it lol.

Sabretooth · 10-19-2008, 05:13 AM

With the current state of the forum being changed, mainly due to the hack. Are there any possibilities that we are going to see a forum overhaul?

I would like to see our main forum options have subforums for everything:
Examples:
Performance Modifcation:
-Engine mod
-Intake mod
-Exhaust mod
-Suspension mod
-Brake mod

Forced Induction:
-Turbocharged
-Supercharged
-Other

Wheels/Rims/Tires

=================================
We need to rejuvenate the Yaris Spotlight threads.

I would love to see there being our regional sections, but with one person (moderator without the normal powers of a mod) devoted to updating the section including a calander or such if they come across any type of car/yaris related information at hand. I know the Cali guys would LOVE to have everything on a calandar.

I think we need to subsection the Everything else catagory...To where we have post whore threads, political threads, rant/rave threads, other car threads, etc. Just so we can move certain things where they belong. As for a thread that is devoted to EVERYTHING it can get a bit jumbled together.

Our vendors need their own sections again.

Our Classifieds area needs a section for: For sale items, Wanted items, and cars for sale, other stuff for sale sections...this will keep things organized for sure.

These are just an idea to get things a bit more organized IF there is ever a forum overhaul.

IF ANYONE HAS OTHERS IDEAS, PLEASE POST THEM HERE!!!!!

I for one think the forum is a bit dated. It doesnt have the flare as some of the other forums, but at least if we dont change the total look of the way things are, we can at least modify it for the better!

Agreed. Now would be a good time to overhaul the forums. I would suggest to update vBulletin to the latest version, and getting some plugins, such as the "Live Update" one (like the mp3car.com forums)

Sabretooth · 10-19-2008, 05:19 AM

Scikotics.com has a killer website now, would be awesome to have something like that.

I am all for Premium member fees for us Hardcore users if it would call for having a much higher grade forum with proper bandwidth! ($10/year). Seeing that the funds are pushed into the forum development and maitenance.

CASTREX · 10-19-2008, 05:46 AM

The new Yaris TS sub forum was created today... it only lasted a few hours.

Admins... please bring it back!!!

ChinoCharles · 10-19-2008, 08:19 AM

Just please be patient everyone.

*Astroman* · 10-19-2008, 08:22 AM

+1 on the calendar feature.

cali yaris · 10-19-2008, 05:59 AM

I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Please restore the Vendors sub forums ASAP.

2. I may incur loss of business based on the "presence" I carefully built on this forum. Maybe some free advertising credit would be fair. I also lost all my PMs.

3. Restore Vendor banners ASAP.

4. Please confirm a commitment to a rigorous backup schedule. Once a year is unacceptable.

Shroomster · 10-19-2008, 06:01 AM

hey wb Garm finally hehe

cali yaris · 10-19-2008, 06:02 AM

TY

What exactly got "hacked"?

Shroomster · 10-19-2008, 06:04 AM

the entire site....all the stuff for the past year on the forum is gone

lostmind · 10-19-2008, 06:10 AM

wow. Honestly, I'd like to know what the issue was with backups before. This was such a busy and successful site, overlooking something as simple as backups... mind boggling. No offense but the last backup was last year? Was that a big tarball from a server move and no backups since?

detroiter · 10-19-2008, 06:13 AM

I know were supposed to refrain from such language but I absolutely must make an exception this one instance...

I'd like to extend a big FUCK YOU to the person(s) responsible for this mess. It's not like this forum is a breeder of hate mongering and such that is usually expected from a internet forum. This forum contains some of the nicest and down to earth people one could meet and hold discussions with. Absolutely no reason why it should have happened here.

Thirty-Nine · 10-19-2008, 06:22 AM

It's truly sad that there are people that get a kick out of doing such stuff. It's pathetic.

BettyWoohoo · 10-19-2008, 06:26 AM

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sad!! Alot of the stuff I was gonna try out on my car .. and all the information in my private messages is gone!!! I WANNA CRY!

Well At least the sight is still up,and I hope all the awesome helpful people come back or are still here..

Sad day

AznGouki · 10-19-2008, 06:27 AM

God this sucks

Sigh...got to set everything up again...=.=
