Alright, so, here's the thing.
At some point some fuckbag uploaded a script to the uploader which replaced all the ./upload index.html pages with ones that tried to run a javascript-based malware downloader. This is probably related to the lack of directory permissions on the server. They were never set so if someone could get a PHP script to run inside that directory, WELP!
INTL is running on some of the technology it was originally built on back in 2001. As a reminder, that's back when most of us were on 56k, were just getting pubic hair, thought that badly photoshopped pictures of ourselves giving the thumbs-up with a "YOUR A NOOB LOL" caption were actually funny and were genuinely impressed to have our OWN FORUM OMG!
Side note, most of you disgusting fucks still have various types of porn from 2002 uploaded. Seriously clean that shit out before I do it for you, thanks.
Moving right along, now we've grown up and INTL hasn't. It's not resilient to Web 2.0 and 3.0 attacks. In order to harden the place to keep some assfart spammer from blowing the shit out of again there would need to be some fundamental changes deep inside the forum's script - not a complete rewrite. Sandamnit didn't do anything wrong back in the day. It's just that the web has moved on and we haven't.
I'm pretty sure Sunny died and Chimp has disappeared like a shart in the ocean, Dimi is probably busy leaving his car unlocked somewhere in south Detroit and Richard has never been useful in any capacity that I can remember. I'm fucking off to another country for 2 weeks at the end of next month so maybe after that I can finally start looking at whether or not this place is worth an upgrade.
I'm now the owner/operator of INTL btw. Fyi. Just sayin'.
FUCK. YOU. VISSARIO.
