»How to protect your phpBB forum against hackers«

Hope it makes you feel good that you are attacking someone who's existance on the internet is simply to help others. Take a good look at yourself because it is you doing the attacking, simply because I voiced my opinion about your attack on anonymous2.

Here are some facts for you
- I will be 45 this month

- I am a mother of 6

- I am a grandmother of 1

- I was programming (gathering your behaviour you are a teen) so before you were ever born

- I am disabled and limited in what I can do

Someone is looking for a computer and off I must go to find the best deal in town

- For that reason I do spend a lot of time on computer, but if you couldn't walk or it took you 1/2 hour to walk a block what would you be doing?

Hope it makes you feel good that you are attacking someone who's existance on the internet is simply to help others.

I go so far as to help people by downloading free or trial items and mailing them a CD if their computer is unable to download from the internet or they are on a slow dial up connection, and I do this for free too!

For the record I am unbiased here, so if I am sticking up for anyone it has nothing to do with who is who and how and where.

you knn/jayray99, being one in the same people,

BUT ALL of the above are attacks on phpBB.

It had nothing to do with what you say here, that is your first lie!

I am very sorry to hear that (if it is true) but you still cannot call people liars and cheats on a public forum and then claim sympathy on the ground of disability.

This latest unsubstantiated outburst confirms that "Just My Opinion" cannot be taken seriously. Is it possible that the angry outburst stems from the fact that knn's database is BIGGER?

One thing I could never grasp. knn's tips are a ONE time affair. You implement them, check to see that things are ok, and forget about them for the most part. However, Just My Opinion's suggestions (change passwords and backup...how original!) need to be done periodically. So...if one is prepared to do daily backups and monthly password changes why should they be so virulently opposed to a ONE TIME set of reasonable precautions. This can only mean that:

1. They wish they had thought of knn's tips. Reason for rant: JEALOUSY.
2. They are hackers. Reason for rant: ANGER
3. They are people who thrive on an public's fear of hackers. Reason for rant: GREED.
4. They blindly obey authority which in this case is phpBB. Reason for rant: IGNORANCE.
5. And then there might be Just My Opinion's very own private (500MB>30MB) reason for rant: PRIDE.

I hate to frame these "reasons" in somewhat biblical terms but nowadays one so rarely sees such labels being used on the truly wicked that I could not resist.

What the heck is going on? Who are you? What is your forum? Why do you think I am lying?

Please note that the 2 guys who attack me are

•	"anonymous2", who is phpBB staff (or otherwise closely involved with phpBB)

•	"Just my opinion", who gets money for fixing unsecured computer systems

Go figure.

Well, "Just my opinion" uses different approaches to convince us

•	"I am disabled"

•	"I am a woman"

•	"I help mothers"

•	"I am working for free"

•	"KNN attacks me, while I am trying only to help"

•	"I am old and have 6 children" (= "Show me respect" or "KNN tries to attack the elder")

Actually "Just My Opinion" could also add "I am a Christian and god told me that your security tips suck"

Now, I never asked for any of her statements. What I asked for was a link to her forum. And I am still waiting.

Oh but I will tell you something. I know exactly where to go to get computer deals, I drive a car silly child, I walk the few steps to my car from my house, I drive to my favorite computer store, I walk in, know exactly where to look for what I want and give the guys there a bit of a hard time while I am writing prices down. I get back in my car and go home. The parking outside of my favorite store is only a couple steps to their front door. So freak boy, wanna challenge me again? hehehehehehehehehehe

Obviously you never ask the sundry recipients of your largesse to foot your gas bills either.

Good point, thanks for reminding me! I am a Christian and God (please notice the respect for my Creator and writing His name properly with a capital letter) sent me here for some reason, I guess he will tell me why eventually.

And my backups for this small forum here are 500 Megabytes. ZIPPED.
And I have even more forums, not only in-my-opinion.org.

Now I know your full of it! Liars and cheaters don't deserve recognition. Go get a life! Bye Bye, you've convinced me that your only mission is to lie and argue about dick all so I think security of anyone's forums is best left to those who are not angry and full of bull!

knn, as far as imo backup size, where is the 500MB coming from?

So I would assume that they would do daily if not hourly backup of data for that past 24hr or 1hr.

You honestly can't believe that a forum can get this big?

Take iidb.org for example:
