howdark.com did not attack the forum, or anyone's forum- but yet they are being blamed for all of it.

for the clicking impared:

My ISP, Roadrunner, called letting me know that phpBB had reported me for 'hacking' their forums. I was told I used a 'sophiscated virus to move and delete files on the server'. Which to note, i'm not even sure what a 'sophiscated virus' is, and nor did I move, or delete anything. I had found three exploits which was found on their website, one on their forum. It turns out someone used it, when released, to add a forum, which I was framed. phpBB is immature about these decisions. I almost lost my internet access for trying to help phpBB out.

As posted on the phpBB website, "The third issue, search highlighting, has been checked by us several times and we can do nothing with it at all. Again, that particular group admit likewise. In a future release of 2.0.x we will eliminate the problem once and for all, but as noted it cannot (to our knowledge and as noted, testing) be taken advantage of and thus is not considered by us to be cause for an immediate release."

This is incorrect, their 'knowledge' is wrong, this is a very serious problem.

Tens of THOUSANDS of websites are vunerable to system commands like removing every file.

Why hasn't a patch been released yet?

Because the phpBB Developers are dealing with this situation the wrong way. I am all open arms to work with them, and help them patch stuff so their software is clean of exploits, but they instead, ip ban me and almost get me kicked out of my house.

Lexus: Doom is Danish. And he claims to have Nazi beliefs which I won't argue with. More absurd though is the fact that he calls himself Aryan

! Interesting, but no, since the only people on the planet who can claim they're Aryan are those from Germany, Austria, Iran, Switzerland, Hungary, and Liechtenstein. Yes I'm well aware that there are countries like Afghanistan (70% Aryan) and Romania (67% Aryan) and what-not, but the aforementioned are countries whose populations are 90%+ Aryan. And no, we're not Nazi. The next person who calls Aryans Nazis gets executed Hitler style!

It's good to have an open mind; just make sure it's not so open that your brains fall out.

Oh no I don't think you understand. I don't exactly agree with his Nazi beliefs, I'm saying I won't argue because it's pointless. But yeah I do have an open mind about these things.

It is. Our local airline website was also had been defaced on the same day zdoom's forum was.

Okay! In 193- something Hitler went insane! Then in 193- something else, his insanity caused a big war! That's were all the big adult people go out and argue, but then they blow each other up if they can't agree! Then in 1945 Hitler shot himself!

Hitler already had the idea in like 1920, but actually come to (final) power later in 1933. He started the invasion into Poland in 1939. He shot himself in 1945 so that the allies could not capture him.

Best quote "if Hitler had not begun WW2, the Others could not have won it"
