OK, WWS knows about this and so does SFF (obviously) -- but ....

The site www.coasters2k.com is officially no more. I have had it with that foul piece of crap crashing on us, and in all honesty, it ain't worth the time anymore. The coding from the past is crap, period - end of discussion. It just ain't worth the time trying to revamp it since everything is through the database -- and that alone is a piece of garbage from beginning to end.

So, Slap, here is my official hand extension to you. If you ever need ANYTHING to help you out here, I'm available. C2K is a wasted piece of dung, and I am not investing one more second of my life into it (Man, I just feel better saying that ....) --

Maybe we could turn it into a free porn site? (I'm kidding Real, sit back down now.) [lol]

Anyway ... ya ... that is all. [V]

Sorry about Coasters 2k, I never got a chance to visit the site. I guess all things have to end some time.

You are not the only curious one, Oscar. It was either a) crappy coding, or b) someone had a backdoor, or c) crappy coding.

Double pffft for hyyyper, the "Resident WWS Ass" who has been part of our community for months. News flash: NL came out years ago - your expertise in this matter is, shall we say, still drinking from the nipple.

Yeah I didn't visit the site for like a year or more.
But I've had great times there in the past. Will some of the more experienced members there (like, say... JonBKChill) move to wws probably?

Hmmm, i only visted coasters2k a couple of times. It was good, just not as good as WWS and coasterforce.

Now's not the time Matt ... Image

Pad -- I need to talk to Jon about it as I am sure he is gonna be hot. But, hopefully he will make an appearance here, no telling though.

Some insight though: I talked to three different coders this morning. All three are convinced this was an inside job - and that someone who knew where stuff was caused the crash. When I explained how it happened (systematically, beginning with the forums) - two of them immediately said this was a hack via someone who had a backdoor - like a certain folder which shall remain nameless at this time.

Again, very odd this would happen right after I bought it ... then again right after everything was back up and running. Now, I cannot prove anything -- but if I ever am able (in case anyone involved might see this) to prove it, I will personally DDOS your machine into the next millenium, allowing you to enter the internet was Coasters3K comes online. As a network administrator for the Air Force with a server room at his finger tips - this, is my promise.

Sorry to hear that it's gone.

I only joined any forum last October so I really didn't have much time to find all the sites, muchless yours.

The first time I heard about it was after the crash like 3 weeks ago.

Ya know what is the real killer? The fact that I spent hundreds of hours learning how to do something (php), and it is all gone to waste now. That my friends, is the ultimate 10 foot q-tip in the urethra.

You have to regret that statement. Learning php has never gone to waste. You'll use it again one day when you least expect it. Trust me.
