tlwwolfseye,

Never think you are 100% safe.

Expensive operating systems, programs, scripts,... are constantly updated for security.
Why? Because anything can be hacked.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

If your forum has been hacked please check out this post:

He fixed the reported exploit last night. Since then I imagine hes been in bed, since he is in Europe and it was just early morning here when you posted. I suggest you think about what you are saying before spouting off.

I always appreciated your mods, you had a few really great ones. But now I am rather careful.

You should have always been really careful, but this is the risk you take when you install 3rd party modifications to a script. There are thousands of modifications on this site, and they are all made by humans...who from time to time, are known to make mistakes .

Truthfully, I'd prefer to use Valter's mods now because now that he has had this issue, I'm sure he'll be making sure 110% that his future mods are VERY throughly checked.

People are human.

Personally I feel the same, you releasing so many mods along with a few other members years ago kept me around . Things happen and Valter thanks for taking the time to post that info up about Team Analmus (lolz) they're the same bunch as the RECoders from what I've read however not wasting anymore time on them so let's all move on shall we? .
