As a relatively new member at TRF, I would just like to say how much fun it has been so far! You have all made me feel welcome, and as though my stay on here has been a lot longer.
Congratulations to all of you who took the personal time and made the colossal effort to get things up and running again.
Cheers,
Carl

Many thanks to Steve and Scott for the tremendous effort in getting things back to normal.

All I can say is the internet SUCKS without TRF! I've only been able to surf for 5 minutes at a time before getting bored over the last couple days.

miked · 19 November 2009, 02:57 PM

Long live Mac and TRF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the manhunt begin

Scott has brilliantly spent a lot of time in seeking to resolve this problem.

Further there have been significant resources deployed over the last few days on the server side in both human and monetary terms to fight the criminals that have sought to bring the forum down.

This is an ongoing battle and it will require significant resources to battle this problem.

We may create a privileged usergroup for those who will get preferred IP treatment.

If you can't get onto the forum it is likely that you have a compromised computer, or that a compromised computer is sharing your IP address. If that is the case you will need to undertake tasks and pay an administration fee.

Mac users do not have any compromised machines that became zombies. Mac rules

Finally a big thank you to Scott - the server administrator.

More details to be announced..........

MAC RULES !!!!

That was very good

And I'm with you Mosco

SO GOOD TO BE BACK

Okay I think I've said that on like six threads now...... But I couldn't help it, it almost feels like Christmas Morning

MortgageGuy · 19 November 2009, 03:55 PM

Thanks guys, I was actually having some pretty severe withdraw symptoms... Really though, Thank you for all you guys do to keep this forum up and running

Lol-x · 19 November 2009, 04:04 PM

It was not my intention to kick 'Windows' but I can see how that may have been perceived.

Windows is a great system, but it is really important for guys running Windows to have virus/trojan/bot protection.

Kaspersky is a great product and will not slow down your Windows machine.

I'm just saying that I know that the vast majority if not all the machines that were used to bring down the forum were Windows machines and the users were most likely not running virus protection. This enabled the cyber criminals to utilise significant resources, unbeknown to the individual computer users, and remotely cause those machines to send useless requests again and again relentlessly to the TRF server.

I can only echo what has been said and thank all those involved for their hard work in getting TRF back on line. This properly protected Windows XP machine really appreciates it.
