It is my own server, run from my home, behind 2 firewalls. Three now, actually...one SW and two routers. It's not easy to get into. Why anyone would waste their time, I don't know. I have never even been close to the first to install any mods. There has always been plenty before me. I can almost guarantee it has nothing to do with any mods I installed.
Here is a list of the things I have installed years ago. These are things that have kept my forum running flawlessly for so long.
That file was never there after any of these installs. I know my server pretty well after so many years.
I'm listing the links and names, even though it's kind of a pain in the ass to list all of these at all. Most of these seem to go way back to around 2008. I think the last one installed was 2010. Still going to try to convince me it's a bad hack that installed it? One that just never did anything for years??? That makes no sense!

There are only two that don't have links to this forum...
Un-Activated User Management v.3
and
Usergroup Allow HTML v.3.5 (This was probably one of the first I ever installed, and I am and have always been the only one with this privilege.)
Those two hacks are very old, as are all of them. I think the anti spam hack could be the last one I ever installed, back when we were all fighting spam registrations. Most have dates on the release page, and it appears only the ibproArcade link doesn't exist anymore. No matter, that has been installed for years...since I upgraded to 3.8, and we all know how long ago that's been now, right?
It's hard to keep track of all of these, but I am doing my best to list them all and provide links to the original threads. Most of them appear to be from at least 2008, except for the one that is dated 2010.
