Chronic has decided to shut down the GMC until the current hacker is dealt with; Apparently, there is a small chance the GMC will return with, frankly, nothing. While I speak to Chronic now, we're discussing having new features on a new GMC, including a GM Design, GML-highlighting, and much more. Obviously theese are just fantasies, but keep your ears open.
Here's the Message shown on the GMC:

The GMC will be offline until futher notice.Yesterday the forum was hacked with what we believe to be a forum exploit.A member signed up and gained admin rights and changed the forum template to add an iframe at the bottom of each page.This iframe took advantage of expliots in Internet Explorer and downloaded trojans and virus to anyone who viewed them.A bulk email was also sent out which reached around 3000 people containing an exe that was also infected with a virus.I promptly took the forum offline and patched the expliot and removed the iframe.This is what i thought to be the end of the problem but today this has proven to be false. Around 2pm GMT, Mark Overmars forum account was hacked.I urge you all, if you use the same password at this forum as other places, then change it in that other place as soon as possible.I hope you understand the nature of this situation and understand if we have to start from new (it was planned any way remember :) )GMC Staff

uh oh… i use the same password for like.. everything… thank god i haven't been on there for like 2 years though lol
oh crud I opened an email from them yesterday!!
But I use AOL so I hope MCaffee doing its job!!Why a hacker would want to hack an admin?
They could be more useful if they instead deleted noob's accounts and banned their ips.how are you talking to chronic? E-Mail?1
<b>OWNED!!</b>
Anyway, I'm personally happy that the noob cess-pool has imploded, evil as that sounds.Though… now that the GMC has been burned down… where will they flock?Probably not here, thank god… we're not listed on the official site.Wow, someone really has it out for the GMC. Perhaps a bad memory?
In any event, h4X0r'dOh, no, there's no bad memory. I just really have it out for the GMC.
I dislike it too.
I dislike parts of it, such as a few of the rules and the noobs.
