could somebody let mr. prince know? I got some "I hacked the forum" email.
It seems to affect solely the Puppygames forums, not the LWJGL ones. It's almost 5 am GMT so I just couldn't phone in. I'll try to reach him first thing in the morning.

I'm afraid there's nothing in the email headers that will help since it seems to originate on the forums machines, however, there's a SpamAssasin header listing an IP:

24.200.4.121

Which I haven't been able to locate (thru RIPE). I suspect it's a red herring anyway. It'd be interesting to get a hold of the web server logs.

Not just the same version, but the same DB as well. I'm just concerned about losing the forums. They look gone on puppygames.

elias has closed the presumed admin rights bug as described here:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=267563
we have also applied other fixes in the past, so the 2.0.4 version string isn't all that correct.

Elias will be doing an overhaul of the server that hosts lwjgl.org, and once that is done, I'll upgrade the forum to latest phpbb.
