These people should be nailed to a chair and forced to listen to Dream Theater. (joke). Seriously, why?

Hi guys,

thanks for the support, really needed in theses days because , I am starting to loose my patience.

It's the same old attackers from the Christmas Attack when we loose 500 albums in the wave.

To answer MikeEnReglia, it's a HEX-Encoded sql query send in the URL that update or insert junk html/javascript in the data columns. I installed in the past a URLScan tool to prevent long URL execution.

Now , I need to warn everybody of a coming downtime to install a FIREWALL on the server ( another hit on the cash machine  )

So it is suppose to be between 7PM EST to 11PM EST Wedsneday, July 3.

Server may be down some time.

Thanks again for the support. We do our best ...

We will survive....!!!

Prog On !

A huge thank you to the admins for dealing with this crap and keeping the site up and running. I was so bummed out last night when I couldn't log on. :(

And I was worried that Prog Archives would disappear...

But it's back and seems to be working and I for one am happy about that. :)
Prog fan since 1974.

You know what?, it probably is a punk fan. I know there are websites out there that soul purpose is to run down prog and promote punk... I'm serious. Also the fact that there are music critics who go out of their way to attack prog, and and the rock and roll hall of fame ignoring 99% of prog.
Why not? Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to try and destroy others happiness, because they are unhappy themselves.

I would like to add my thanks to those keeping this site defended from these vandals.
I work in the compuer field myself so I know what you are up against.
Pity these wastes of space could not use their computer skills to achive somthing worthwhile instead of mindless destruction.

I'd say that Phil Collins' Tarzan soundtrack would be a more fitting punishment.

The SQL errors are back...
 
Could be a glitch, or the hackers are trying differerent methods to get through the system.
What?
