I just read that Starship Modelr was hacked and the forums have been shut down...maybe for good! Criminy!
From the news section:
DISCUSSION FORUMS CLOSED INDEFINITELY
The Discussion Forums were hacked, and I (and the others I had designated with administrator rights) was removed from being able to control them. Because of this, I have shut them down. They will stay closed until I find and install new software with better security. Because I am already overwhelmed with the amount of work necessary to run the overall site, this may well mean that the forums are not reinstated.
Quite frankly, I shelled out a lot of money to keep them going, and Linda, the other moderators and myself spent an inordinate amount of time keeping the place running smoothly so that the 2547 registered users, and the uncounted lurkers, could share information and opinions and meet fellow modelers from the world over who shared their interests. Thanks to one person, all that is gone. Everything - the stockpiled knowledge, the communities, the private messages, all gone.
I hope you're happy, whoever did that.
