Jae Onasi Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 stoffe spent the last few days trying to track down a nasty problem that led to the forum being hacked (see the forum announcement on it). First: If you have not changed your password, GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW! Second: thank you, thank you, thank you to stoffe and the other staff who spent time checking over a ton of scripts, code and searching different names to ensure forum security. Jeff, Lynk, acdcfanbill, and mimartin all worked on this problem to help stoffe out. I know you all spent several days on this issue, and I appreciate it very much.

Bob Lion54 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Good job, everyone that worked on it! Thanks a bunch! Most especially our Esteemed Forum Goddess stoffe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 First: If you have not changed your password, GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW! Please also change it to something more complex than a three letter word in the dictionary. Mine wasn’t that simple, but stoffe still had me change it. Jeff, Lynk, acdcfanbill, and mimartin all worked on this problem to help stoffe out. I know you all spent several days on this issue, and I appreciate it very much. My contribution was looking at a list, nothing more other than staying out of stoffe’s way while she did all the work. stoffe did all the work and deserves 99.99999999999% of the credit, Lynk, acdcfanbill and Jeff can share whatever is left. All hail the great and powerful stoffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, I think I know the reason for *some* of those weird little incidents that have occurred over the past few years since I became active on here. Thank you Stoffe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This incident has highlighted the fact that 99% of people SUCK at making passwords and should have all of their personal information stolen from them for having such terrible passwords. crackers is not a passwords. It's crackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Props to the Stoffe for handling what no doubt feels like a thankless task. LF wouldn't the same w/o her handiwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 thank you, thank you, thank you to stoffe and the other staff who spent time checking over a ton of scripts, code and searching different names to ensure forum security. Jeff, Lynk, acdcfanbill, and mimartin all worked on this problem to help stoffe out. I know you all spent several days on this issue, and I appreciate it very much. Indeed! Thank you LF Staff (especially stoffe) for all your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Stoffe is much like The Force. She has a Light and Dark Side (rarely seen, admittedly), but it's not the universe she's holding together, she is instead holding together these forums, which have become a second home to many of us. So thank you, stoffe, for your tireless, and frustrated efforts to keep LF running against the odds, when others would have simply threw their hands in the air and said 'I quit!'.

jonathan7 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks Stoffe, I have changed my password as a precautionary measure, although I wouldn't of thought my last one would have been cracked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Oh, I quite liked my password, but changed it just to be sure. Thanks, Stoffe, for saving the day once more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverandbacon Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thank you, stoffe, not just for this occasion, but for all the times you've spent how-many-hours fixing things. This. For every problem announced, I'm sure 10 more have been solved quietly. Thanks for keeping this place running. My password discipline here is pretty bad. A fairly weak password (not as bad as 'crackers' though), gone unchanged for god knows how long (as opposed to fairly regular switches). I just never really bothered fixing it since I don't reuse PWs, and don't store any important info on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 So thank you, stoffe, for your tireless, and frustrated efforts to keep LF running against the odds, when others would have simply threw their hands in the air and said 'I quit!'. Quit implying that is possible. We have already told her that is not a option. You're going to give her ideas. I personally consider stoffe the Lucas Forums saint, not only does she put up with all the technical problems Lucas Forums throw at her, but she also has to put up with the staff.

Totenkopf Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 ......she also has to put up with the staff. Saint? Sounds more like masochism to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purifier Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Great work Stoffe, you've proved your worth many times before, here on LF, and you have proved it again; bigtime! Cheers to Stoffe for all of the hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Saint? Sounds more like masochism to me. All saints are at least a little masochistic. Thanks again, stoffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
