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
a fresh start is good.
if chronic would check the IP logs it could tell that i NEVER logged in the admin-cp with "admin_", thus making it impossible for me to have hacked the forum.
no one said u did.
Yeah. CAMD…. Didn't he make some kind of internet thing?
Never mind. It's chicken ate my donuts.
ffalcon: People have said he did.
are they right?
no.
