Interesting.

Users of this forum yesterday may have witnessed the results of one of the moderator accounts on this forum having been compromised.
We apologise unreservedly for any distress caused as a result of this having happened, and have taken steps to ensure it does not happen in the future. We have also passed the server logs from this incident over to the police for further investigation.
As with the internet as a whole, very few systems, this forum included, are 100% secure against those who wish to be disruptive or cause offense and while steps can be taken to prevent this from happening, to claim to be entirely "immune" to such attacks is both foolhardy and inaccurate.
With this in mind we request that any further "attacks" on this forum take into account that users of all ages post and read the threads here and as such the images used yesterday were potentially affecting children, and regardless of the reason behind any grievance this is an unacceptable form of protest.
Interesting.
