The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Board was hacked · **Released**: 05-18-2002

Somehow someone knew how to delete all topics on a forum. How is such done?
There is a bug in vbb, thats all I know

I do not think there is a bug as big as something like that in the vB software. I am quite sure the Developers would have picked up on that. Chances are one of a few things happened:
1. You gave a mod super mod status and also enabled him to delete topics.
2. You in a drunken stuper decided to mess your site up.
3. Someone got your username and password and is messing with you bad.
Good Luck with everything!

BTW. I find it funny that you run an "Extreme Game Hacking" website yet you got slammed yourself so you say. Kind of a contradiction eh?

Be nice Sigon. Most likely it was one of your staff or someone that somehow got access to that function. That really sucks man :\

if you can be sure your staff is ok, then it was surely a person which finds out a pw of you or one of your staffmembers.

i won't believe that there ist a bug big like that

I agree, I don't think they could let a bug as major as this get through, if the did I'm sure someone would have hacked vB.com with it by now.

Perhaps they had access/hacked into your databse?

I found out how. They just released a patched file on vb.org for it. Make sure to download it.

Don't you mean vb.com?
