This thread should be locked because it seems people are going to go on and on about how they got "fucked" and that this is some how RIU's fault. Let me explain something in very plain words you guys can understand. If the exploit was known...it would have been fixed. Obviously no one knew it existed...which is why its called a fucking exploit. It was not just an attack against RIU...but many forums. Its a group of hackers trying to spread a message....so they made sure they put links to those messages EVERYWHERE. The redirected the forum...changed all posts to show a link they wanted you to see...and they snagged the e-mail database from RIU so they could also get their message to you via e-mail in case you didnt see it here on RIU. It was not an attack against you. No one is going to sell your information. It was not the government. You are all perfectly safe. Yes it sucks we lost a month worth of posts and reputation...but life goes now. NOW STFU AND SIT THE FUCK DOWN. No wonder the movement to legalize MJ has been so unsuccessful. You guys see some contraversy and everyone freaks out. If we acted more like these hackers and made our fucking point know EVERYWHERE....we would get so much more accomplished. You're all sheep....the governemt, big pharma and big corps are your shephard.....bahhh sheep bahhhhhh

and how did the thread tools button get fixed? lol
Our coders were in there at the same time going through all the code when they were in postbit i told them to fix it
We rolled out a quick version with the css all set to default so we could try to get us back online as soon as possible. The redirect hack was easy to fix because they were nice about it, but that is until we realized that all the posts have been replaced.
edit wtf im a stranger again with one post ok lost everything since i joined last month
I'm having difficulty believing that, as I was on the site when everything started happening.
All the things I mentioned happened BEFORE the site went down for repairs.
Something smells fishy to me.........

Anyone take the time to watch this video? That's some bat-shit-crazy stuff right there!
While I agree with some of the content of the video, the idea that all of us will be fitted with a micro-chip implant, and that the fake jews will kill 6 billion people on the planet is a little far fetched for my bullshit meter.

i dont have bullshit tolerance, i watched that video for like 5 minutes and thought it was like illuminati shit or something, conspiracy theory is all the same.
everyone in the worlds stupid as fuck and dont know how ridiculous they sound when their peers tell them they're right. i bet some paranoid schizophrenic made that video, hes trippin balls to think the US is gonna regulate microchip inplants or jews kill like 99 percent of our fuckin planet.
