Here's to continue with the topic me and Wayne were talking about in the Announcements section (see link below). I'm surprised that a.org was destroyed like this... :-o

I'm surprised that a.org was destroyed like this...
So was Wayne.. He almost gave A.org up back then...When Aorg was hacked a second time Wayne seemed a bit more "relaxed" about it IIRC he thought of it as a good excuse to build his own forum portal, but he decided to go for xoops instead..
As why Aorg was destroyed.. Well, some people live like this; because I can do it I will do it.. No matter what it has cost another to make, as long as it doesn't hurt me, I don't care.. It's the same type of people who write viruses..

people who make trojans i can JUST ABOUT understand...with finding passwords, and weirdo sadistic control freak people, but viruses??? they're so pointless... :-(

but viruses??? they're so pointless...
1> To show off (even if nobody know who did it the programmer who made the virus is proud of that fact as well.. And some virusses are/were very clever little programs)
2> To creat chaos.
3> To attack a business (some virusses are targetted at a specifick company, normally M$...) because you don't like them/it
4> Because they can....
There doesn't have to be a point, some people really need no excuse to blow somebodies head off, so why would somebody need an excuse to write a virus ?

These problems aren't limited to the computer scene, and probably can be applied to the rest of today's society - more's the pity.

Yea, those were dark days indeed...
And today...i go to SEDs.org and they are down...they suffered a "hacker" attack n Friday, and they`re not going to revive the site...
:griping:

Thing is Amiga.org grew back stronger than ever... as they say, what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger :-D
