We have a hacker...
 

check out the active user list, NOW
a hundred guests all checking out the same post? come on!!

Please go away Mr Hacker...we like our little Fleetwood Mac website.

No Mr Hacker I need the Ledge I gotta have it! You leave the Ledge alone, it never hurt anybody! *ala Kramer's performance when Jerry found out he was hooked on Kenny Rogers' chicken*

:shocked: WEIRD.

...and all viewing the same thread. :distress:

And the number of guest users is going down as we speak.

gotcha!!

Rule #1: Don't let them know that you know.

Looks like the number of users is going down as we speak.

lol, that's what I said! Well, they're gone now anyway. Or he/she. Or whatever it was.

I guess there's no mystery as to how The Ledge now has a new record in the amount of users viewing the board at the same time.

Maybe I am just a dunce - but what is there to gain by hacking into this site?

I don't know. I never got that part either.

That sure was a great thread. All those people were mesmerised by it!

What thread was it? Inquiring minds want to know.

This one: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=14793

How does one person show up as 100? I'm confused.

Well, if THAT's the thread they were viewing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the FBI.

:laugh:

Let's hope we all get adjoining cells/pens at Guantanamo!!! And won't it be funny when they try to make us talk by blasting Rumours. I wonder what they'll think when I start twirling?

See ya there... :wavey:

Sheesh, you make one little comment about Karl Rove and......

How do you know how many people are viewing a particular thread? And why would someone hack? Just curious...

So lame. Oh well, a year from now there will probably be a thread - "What happened on June 28, 2005"?

Seriously, though, lately, I've been attacked by hackers trying to run up my bandwidth. They downloaded MP3 files about 1500 times continuously from 15 different IPs. Obviously some kind of automated program run by some Class A Prick. Luckily, I was able to move files onto the Purdue server, or my site would have gone down for the month and I would have to remove the downloads. It's upsetting, malicious, and I have no clue who is doing it.

Good. Hope they read it.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Nancy, how awful! Luckily you are TOO smart for those jerkwads!

First, Gaius noticed a huge number of people looking at the chitchatboard (go to the forums overview and you can see a number of viewers for each board).
Then I checked the active userlist and saw 3-4 pages of guests each looking at the same thread.
About the why-part.. some wizkids have too much time at their hands, I guess. :mad:

That, or it's either the FBI or the Mossad hacking us :D

Oh! Thanks. I knew about the listing of people on the overview, but didn't know about the active userlist.

Weird....

Or it's TIA. That's the computer monitoring section of the gummint. :laugh:

Or, the Dept of Homeland (In)Security. :nod:
