Why the RfM board is down

[_Runtu]

10. Eric K. hasn't paid tithing in years, so it's no wonder the board is having money troubles.
9. Simon managed to hack the site from information gleaned from a few strategic IP addresses and a Facebook friends list.
8. The KEP Cipher Key presentation was so compelling that people are returning to the church in droves.
7. It turns out that 95% of the posters there were MADB apologists trying to make the church look bad.
6. You really can't hate indefinitely.
5. The place hasn't been the same since Satan stopped posting.
4. Morale had been low since MDB had stolen the title "pool of vomit" from RfM.
3. Once they filtered out the bad words from the Search function, Juliann stopped going over there, drastically reducing the site's traffic.
2. Mike Ash's latest column was just that good.
1. Did anyone expect a group of angry drunk people to maintain a web site?

Also beware that somehow exmormon.org has an Iframe exploit on it (the main site). It's a Blackhole Exploit Kit, a very nasty one too. You can visit the forum area, but the main site will throw an anti virus warning IF you have one installed... Not sure how he got it there, possibly through a php mysql hack. Someone mentioned he was told a couple days ago but he hasn't done anything about it.

DON'T visit it unless you have anti-virus software. At least not for a couple more days.

Sorry, the supreme leader of the Ex-Mormon Underverse, Eric K himself.

Thanks, Infymus. I should have mentioned that it was down because of a virus, which I had heard yesterday.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for RFM ... the RFM of more than ten years ago, before it changed format and became too big for the cohesion or community it once had.

Funny list, Runtu!

Eric fixed it.

This has been fixed today

I don't know where the virus originated. It affected the first page of the site only. It may of come from my ISP via another of their sites. I did not do any updates or uploads to the site on the day corresponding to the date-time of the page.

Please keep us informed if it happens again.

Thanks,

Eric

What is a virus?

Sorry, I've been a Mac user for so long...

Tell me about it. I'm on Linux and not worrying anymore.

OS X is unix for the masses.

Steve Jobs stole the unix desktop market away from Linux.

I cut my comp.os.* teeth on Linux, been using it since .93 beta days when it came off the ftp sunsite and onto 40 floppies, had lunch with Linus himself and Bob Young(Redhat founder), but Linux is more like a well built kitcar and OS X is a Ferrari.

Sorry for the derail..
