phpBB sucks

So, remember I said it was super busy on Friday?

Well, Saturday I woke up to it being super duper OMG horribly busy. So I started work early (8:30 AM instead of 10 AM) and ended up working till 9:30 PM that night. I was tired… to say the least.

Work calmed down so Sunday was spent shopping and preparing for our 4th of July bash, which, by the way, was a blast. :)

Monday, more preparing and then the party…

Today, (Tuesday) work started out semi-busy then EXPLODED into action when we actually had to disable thousand’s of customer’s exploitable phpbb message board scripts since they seemed to think we were kidding when we said updating the script was absolutely necessary. (This darn exploit had a hole to create a DOS attack.. um.. yeah.. fix it people!)

I hate phpbb now. I will never use their software again.. because, oh yes, it affected me too on my own personal account. Numerous times. It wouldn’t be so bad if the udpates weren’t so stupidly hard to do… I finally gave up this weekend and chose to use another forums software altogether for our guild site. Hopefully I’ll never have to look back on this issue for my own personal site.

But I foresee lots more overtime in my future. :(

    so sorry to hear about the problems :-(

    Can we get an idea (timeframe wise) when the Guild site will be back up? no rush or anything just a rough guess.

    we did not get any email…please make sure your current email address for me is Askelon@Comcast.net and resend please

  5. I replied via email to you. The email I sent for the guild site was sent from the boards, and would’ve gone to whatever email address you had listed for your guild account on the boards. I don’t have control over that. :)
