You will need to audit your system for any installations of phpBB, PHPNuke, osTicket, My_eGallery, mambo, ModernBill, awstats, phpad, and any other popular PHP applications you might be running and ensure they are at their most current versions. This is something we can not do.

You can also install mod_security for apache to mitigate these attacks at apache:

Just a little bit of a forewarning.

Later this evening, once I get off of work (about 5pm Central Standard Time), I will be shutting down the website and backing up the forums, uploaded files, etc. INTL may be down for as long as a week, depending on how long it takes for me to reinstall the core software and get things back to running smoothly again, so be prepared for an extended outage.

As far as the forums coming dangerously close to being shut down, I mean that if once the operating system reload has been done, if the server gets compromised yet again, I will be indefinitely suspending the forums and no longer running INTL. So if this is all being caused by one of you out there, which I highly doubt is the case, but I'm not ruling out, you will be the sole cause of this forum being wiped off the face of the earth, so congratulations, asshole! Job well done!

Just did a bit of research and it costs $25 for the reload and an additional $150/hour in "operating system reloading administration". That's a problem, since come to think of it, I haven't received a single donation in the last couple months. Not trying to run a guilt trip on anyone, but seriously, would any of you spend upward of $200 out of your own pocket to run a website that has absolutely no return whatsoever? How about roughly $1000/year? How about investing a few hundred hours into performing technical maintenance on it?

Yeah, I thought not.

This may very well be the end, unless I can find another server to host INTL on for free, which I may be able to do, but if not, sorry guys, but this will likely be the end.

Don't be sorry. You've already done well beyond the call of duty to maintain this community by financially and technically supporting the INTL site. Thank you for that.

Does this "server compromise" damage the integrity of your code? Or did someone just upload some bad files that have no effect on it?

How many people are there on this forum? If we all send 5.00 it may very well do the trick. That's not very much to keep this thing alive. I for one think it would be worth it. Anyone else in for this?

Well damn. Sorry it had to end this way. I guess I'll see you guys around the internets.

PS- If you are looking for another server, layeredtech has some pretty nice stuff. I doubt it's quite the stats INTL is currently running on, but it should be enough for the forums.

Realize that falling in love with someone is just the results of a series of generic events that can occur between you and basically anyone who meets your standards of attractiveness. It's just an emotional manifestation of a handfull of chemicals bouncing back and forth. It's not the holy grail of living, it's not your reason to exist and it's definitely not something reserved for "that one person". Accept that you are just an animal with a big brain that allows him to fret over what only amounts to a game of hormone pool. What you're feeling is not your soul dying a gurgling, ugly death, but withdrawal. All the happy chemicals that saturated your body when you were with her are kicking out cold turkey, and your body is screaming bloody murder, where are my fucking endorphins? It's just chocolate. Find a new bar.

Arnok, that address is outdated now that he is back stateside. If you can paypal him, that'd probably be best. There's an option somewhere on paypal to send money from a credit/debit card, but I don't use it so I'm not sure how that works.

Jeff, $50 will be on the way when my tax return comes in this week and my paypal gets unfucked.

If my ears could talk, they would say, "Thank you, Zorak. You have enriched us both."
