Number 1. seems like a no brainer to me and that was the first thing I thought of and I don't know Jack about how to run a forum.
Me either... but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express one time.... :p 
At least it wasn't our forum again...

I'm good friends with a few "you shouldn't be doing that with your computer" folks ~> lol, actually their a bunch of retired DEF CON/Blackhat misfits who love chess and porn... BUT, they are super smart, clever and live for the hunt! "IF" it did happen here, I'd be furious and the chase would begin!
Sure, I may be an angel most days... but don't mistaken my horns for a halo holders ~> I love and will defend our forum/family ~> fighting fire with fire if necessary!
Those are good friends to have! And I have no doubt you would be a force to be reckoned with should hackers attack here... In the very short time I've been here, @ericastar76 you have struck me as a good woman whose bad side I wouldn't want to be on!

I will offer some advice to that forum and maybe someone will grab the steering wheel over there before it's all lost. (Remember guys and gals we still need people to go there first and then come to our site after they find out how bad it is over there... )
1. Till you get this under control TURN OFF AUTOMATIC EMAIL REGISTRATION AND HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR APPROVE ALL NEW ACCOUNTS. This will stop the automatic registration of bogus accounts...
2. If you don't have the ability to block whole countries you might as well pack your bags and stop being a forum. Unfortunately you will have to block most of Asia and India. These attacks can be stopped by simply blocking most other countries. Remember it's just a script that is randomly run against all forums. No one picked that forum. They just were the next one on some asshat's list to hack.
3. GIVE SOMEONE YOU TRUST COMPLETE ADMIN ACCESS SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT THESE MEASURES AND CLEAN THAT SHIT UP WHEN IT HAPPENS!
.....One last thing..... I won't say who it was on that forum that said something like "being a moderator is a thankless job" and "it's a holiday and the administrators are not at work" or somthing like that..... Ross that wasn't directed at you.... I understood what you meant. The comments that prodded me were from the other forum.
We have people on this forum that have the title of MODERATORS but they don't have to do anything... BECAUSE THE FORUM MODERATES ITSELF. IF You are spending time deleting post and arranging threads you apparently have a content and rule issue.
AND Administrators DO NOT get to neglect any computer related issue. I am on call for my job 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I check in on this forum at least 10 to 20 times a day and still work for 40 to 50 doctors and other professionals. They would fire my butt in a heartbeat if I neglected them over a holiday....

ERICA STAR,in your reply yesterday you said if I could beat you,were you talking about chess or S&M?
I'm sorry I had to do that,but as far as you're challenge I will have to decline, my computer skills are not good enough, besides it sounds like you kick as at chess. -
Perhaps they are simply wanting to tell the world:

This is what its all about. Its about sharing what makes you happy. And its about making life a little more fun....
It was such a nice quiet neighborhood until those dang Slingshotters showed up....

My question is would it block Slingshotinfo.com if it were in Chinese??

In the very short time I've been here, @ericastar76 you have struck me as a good woman....
Meep. Depends on how you define "good"....

Let's see if Rab catches this one...
