I think your a bit confused my friend, vBulletin.org is not American.
English is not the American language, English is the Brits language, americans only shortened and messed it all up.
Americans don't use English, they use the American Language.
Saying otherwise would be a disgrace to the Brits.

I think it was a piss take.

I am an American that lives in the UK (for the last 10 years) and to say that Americans shortened and messed the English language up is moronic and akin to saying that Modern English is not just a band from the 80's, its a bastardisation of Old English.

Go join the BNP.

Boy, did this thread take a turn LOL I never care much about a persons grammar or broken English. Only that I can understand the gist of what they're saying. I personally get aggravated by grammar nazi's. WTH is the purpose, other them maybe some sort of ego kick.

Back to the original topic, any updates on phpBB? They still have their maintenance page up. With temp forums, anyone surf those for updates. I'd wager its gonna be VERY difficult to restore a database like that.

Hope they have a good backup As far as phpBB -vs- VB I wouldn't wish anything like what they're going through on anyone, not even my worst enemy.

--------------- Added [DATE]1233675906[/DATE] at [TIME]1233675906[/TIME] ---------------

Ah, yes... their announcement.

The Portuguese have a map of the Noth American coastline dated "1424". And they named the U.S. "Antilla" So really, why cant we all speak Antillan...

Like I said earlier in this thread, these hackers love to appear cool and somewhat untouchable posting on blogs telling the world of their great achievements (which isn't really an achievement) until they are caught and prosecuted. Have you ever seen them cry when caught? Like babies being taken away from their mothers breast whilst feeding. It's hilarious when reality kicks in for them over stupid mistakes they make doing their questionable deeds online and facing the consequences in the real world.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm english.

like the Sarah Palin email hack. personally, i'm disappointed they're not bringing that guy up on charges of treason. how could hacking someone who, at that time, could have very well been the vice president, been anything other than giving aid to the enemy? he gave the password out to the world - enemies and friends alike - and he should, as such, share the same fate as, say, Robert Hanssen or Aldrich Ames.

Electing Sarah Palin is giving aid to the enemy.

Anyway, if there's any justice phplist will lose a bunch of users over it. It was some pretty atrocious code that got exploited, although I won't deny the method to expand on it was clever.
