We apologize for an empty forum board.

It seems that 'Mr Keeping' really dislikes both UHFworld and it's Admins.

UHFworld's forum security was comprimised again late last night,
after conversations with him while he was speaking under someone
else's MSN, one to wich he hacked into I might add,
he laughs and thinks it all just fun and games!!
Within minutes later the whole UHFworld forum was wiped clean....

Well done, do you feel much better now?

After it dissapeared, he then went on to say that he has a backup
and would give it to me in exchange for ownership of UHFworld!!

Thats really nice isnt it??

Well I wont be blackmailed, especially from the likes of you and
your pathetic attempts to bring UHFworld down on its knees.

You managed to clean up your hacking attempts last time didnt you,
well this time you were a bit too slow....

I have spent enormous amounts of time over the years to help
UHFworld and It's members on a more personal level.
Not to be ruined by your immature spats..

Hacking our hosters other accounts was not a good move....

I would not expect you to understand or even comprehend the
damage caused by your actions, maybe think about that and I
will ask you again when we meet in person.


-------------------------------------------------------

We will endevour to restore some old backup forum posts soon,
At the moment feel free to start new topic discussions.

-------------------------------------------------------

Please note, that all Full members data/details have not been
security compromised, because these have no affiliation with the
forum at all, they are NOT electronically stored with this forum.

Because the hacker has obtained their own backup of this forum
I suggest that all active registered forum members change their
email address and or there passwords.

We are sorry for this inconvenience, It is not our fault, we did not write
the source code for this phpBB, although we apply latest security patches
regulary, It seems that there is always another bug exploit that appears.

We have added our own extra security to this forum to stop this from
happening again.

Hi, perhaps the 'open source' software is the real security issue. There must be software out there that is a little more secure?

Don't worry - We loyal UHFWorld member will continue on regardless of some arrogant, pig headed, d**k head who likes to inflict is misguided, immature intellect on those who would like to help others, not hinder them.

Yea, it is a bit of a shame, there was so much important information
and posts contributed by Members, It does take a while to accumulate.

This vBulletin is very good, a little bit different in ways but much more
flexible and I love the security and the way the developers have written
their coding.

I have changed some registration permissions, as I see a couple of the
regular spammers managed to register and post their spam/advertising.
Well no more :)

Please enjoy the UHFworld forums, If you are not sure about something
please dont hesitate to ask, Admins are friendly, and there are many
members here that know their stuff.
