Alright, I suppose I could defect to red…

Replying 2 years late, as I had never checked that thread before. But… no, the source code wasn’t hosted on the website, so it was never hacked.
As for the website, there was 2 sensitive issues:
-
The public ftp. The password was public if you remember, so some strangers used it to upload html files ( or replacing the gallery ones some contributors had made, injecting trojans in it ).
-
When the website was designed, the website used Joomla and the forums system wasn’t officially supported, so an hybrid ( with a bridge ) was added. Every time Joomla was patched, the bridge had to be re-applied. At some point Joomla switched by a major version up and everything broke, so instead of redoing (again) the entire website, it was decided to keep the site on the old Joomla version. That made it pretty easy to get hacked a few years later.

I’m a green person in a red world. I’m calling all Green’s to fight back against the tyranny of our red overlords.

Green is the only choice who’s UI currently matches it’s team color. Voting for another team is illogical.

I explicitly remember a discussions with one of the devs, probably you and I was told the svn was on the server.
Anyway, regarding the old site, is it possible to give us the backup, of course you can delete the email and password tables from the forum DB?
SMF itself had it’s share of vulns.

It was discussed before (click below) but its been a while so hopefully the concerns about confusing newcomers wouldn’t be such an issue now.
On another subject, I was thinking the other day about making a community site which could feature a leaderboard and player stats derived from the API. Something like this https://pubgtracker.com/profile/pc/dasdqgbb?region=as
Has there been any more work done on the API since @cybercritic’s preview?
I’m against resurrecting anything to do with the old site, partly because it began when the Quest For Earth vision was still a thing, but mostly because I had a different tag 
The only thing I’d like to bring back is the picture war thread, which used to be very entertaining!
Actually I discussed this with Keith and you were right - no way we were paying for many servers at that time, so the source repository was definitely on the web site. There was no direct access at any point from the hacker(s) though, so the source code was safe.

GREEN! Purple was defeated.
Green is the color of life. Long live the Old Guards.
Does it matter which colour? All the teams are the same, it’s not like you can specialise.
Even in games like Battlefield that do have different equipment available to different teams, no gaming group would specialise in one or the other.
Edit: Realised you’re probably thinking in terms of ensuring everyone’s on the same team as currently you can’t see who’s on which team until you’re in the game, and you have to choose team before joining. I can’t believe this will remain true for long.
Hey! I have been keeping tabs on Infinity since those first vids of the planetary rendering engine in 2006. Definitely want to be a part of this if you’ll still have me!
