hi there,
just wanted to inform you that our server at http://tork.thesoulnomads.de has been hacked/cracked yesterday and that we will be moving to a new server in the next few days. i don't know yet if we will be using phpnuke again and if so, if we can take the user-accounts to the new system.

thx ;)

Yeah, that sucks... so all our Torque tutorials and downloads are currently offline, sorry for any inconvenience...
Btw., what kind of sick, stupid, childish assh*** hacks free, non-profit, independent game developing websites offering free tutorials, downloads, etc. ??? I don't get it... what a brave, challenging and honorable act ... congratulations, kid!

I don't get it either. Why trash a Indie type site? Stupid SOB's. There's someone I'd like to run in to so I could beat the #@it out of them. Anyway, sorry to hear it guys.

They didn't trash it because of the whole indie game thing. They trashed it because they saw you where running phpnuke. It is known for its lack of security but people still use it. Might want to think about postnuke or envolution which are forks of phpnuke. Sorry to see it happen though because your site always brings me back to Torque. You guys rock.

thx for that!
anyway, he didn't trash the whole site! so the tutorials, gallery and the downloads are not lost, in fact they are back online at tork.zenkel.com. just a plain site to give access to them. don't know if we will be running any 'cms' again, but i'll definitely beautify the site.
