What's happened? Why has the forum changed?
In the early hours of 9th Sept we had a major attack on the forums which ended up with them being hacked, the hack compromised the files which are used to serve the forums and got into the database too.
A migration to a fresh set of files didn't work because the hack was in the database, so the only way to be 100% sure of stripping out the compromised code was to migrate to a completely different forum system where they couldn't follow.
Hence we've moved to phpBB; it may be that we eventually go back to vBulletin using version 5, or we may just stick with phpBB as it's a good forum system.
The site is very much work in progress, lots of stuff isn't working properly, including the pickems which may take a while to get back on. However I'd rather open up the forums as soon as possible rather than leave them closed until everything is 100% ready.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums
