We were terminated from our previous hosting , which caused us to lose a lot of data and lose all of the configs. So it was a big job setting everything back up again. I think iExploit is going to grow and grow now as we are now with a reliable host. Times are Changing... I will be trying my best to run iExploit from a legal and ethical standpoint. This wont mean compromising any good content but any illegal content will be trashed and deleted. I will be writing a clear set of rules to help keep the site online this time and not cause any complaints.
There is still a little to do with finishing off setting up the site, but i will tweet and mass email to let everyone know we are back again in the coming days.
I am now on our irc channel 24/7 so you can contact me here any time, i may be afk but i will still get the message.
The irc is still hosted at irc.evilzone.org #iExploit , if you have problems connecting please report as we have had reports of certain clients getting blocked. ERRORS OR BUGS! We have installed a new set of firewall rules which has caused problems in the mybb config, we have fixed the ones we have found but there is not doubt more, if you get any problems please report them to a member of staff.
I'm glad to see we're back now. :) The timing definitely stinks though, because I put all of my exploit videos on security tube a while back, and every video had over 1000 hits. It would have been great for the forum, but nonetheless, iexploit's back now, and that's all that matters to me. :)
I think the mistake came from the fact were trialing a couple of forums without descriptions to possibly give a cleaner look. A quick glance makes it look somewhat like a private/hidden forum. The only hidden forums should be the ones limited to specific usergroups.
[EDIT]
For anyone wondering, I'll be updating MyAwards soon and we'll get nominations back too :)
MyAwards is a mybb forum plugin that allows us (admin) to assign people awards. We create a category and then people who fit the category can then let us know and we'll give them an award. For example: we could setup an award called erm... "mega poster" and when you reach for example 1000 posts you'd be eligible for it. You'll see green links under my avatar on the left, they'd normally be replaced by small images denoting the awards gained. We used to hold nominations where you could nominate someone or yourself for an award.
Awesome :D We used to have something similar on another forum called badges, which were little icons that go in your sig if you've done something worthy of earning one. This system sounds a lot better, with the actual integration into the forum.
IExploit is back, I have just seen that. Man, that was a long time and I wish I knew earlier about that. Now I will be back here too. Have done a lot of coding in the meantime whose results I will show you successively. Good to see you again.
