Aftermath Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) I agree with you but IPB lacks in secuirty issues. And who said vBulletin costs for only $20? You got to be kidding me, right? vBulletin costs for $160 while IPB is $185. I have no idea why IPB is a bit more expensive than vBulletin. Weird. Not to be rude or anything but vBulletin deserves all the respect. I know you're not really a fan of vBulletin and I have even said exactly the same thing you have just said while I was using IPB back in the old days. One day, I went to test out vBulletin on my localhost and realized that vBulletin was a true bulletin board. I'm not saying IPB is pretty cheap or anything. I just wanna point out that vBulletin has more features & additions than IPB (and any other bulletin board). On that day, once IPB was no longer free and is now a paid bulletin board, about 75% people have moved and choosed vBulletin. There are many reasons why vBulletin is the best BBS. But I'm going to close this conversation before a war will begin lol. I just don't wanna flame on this forum as I have just joined it today.

Spaz The Great Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Security features have nothing to do with this. My password was brute-forced by a "hacker", who then messed with some settings. It doesn't matter what BBS we are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Just think about it. If IPB's security system was pretty much tight, then how did the hacker managed to hack and mess up with your account? Brute-forced? Well that makes no sense to me at all!

I have officially made up my mind. You're an idiot. Brute-force is when a hacker uses a program that sits there and tries every word, number, and letter combination until it hopefully cracks your password. Security features can't really stop that. There is ALWAYS a way in. The best way to avoid brute-force is to do what I did. Create your password by slamming your head against the keyboard a bunch of times. You are just like my mom, anything YOU'VE never heard of is AUTOMATICALLY stupid or non-existant. Welcome to world of being ignorant. It will take you a while to change my opinion of you, and it very well might not EVER change. But I'm guessing you don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
