What happened yesterday

[Sara]

Me and Arc thought there was a virus in the forum, NOTE: THERE ISN'T! In any case, we shut down the forum in hopes of keeping the virus from spreading.

Deathspank just cleared it up for me and I apologize for the shut down. It was a judgement call that was wrong, and it was a rash decision.

This won't happen again. And I do apologize for any inconvenience.

[Roxas-]

Thanks! I emailed Arc, and no-one replied and I was panicing. Now that it's over, I'll be back to this forum.

[Soushirei]

It wasn't a big deal; thanks for looking out for the forum, Sara!

I'm glad it was nothing serious.

[Mish]

Better safe than sorry, I suppose. :P

[Roxasvsriku]

Sorry Sara, it's mostly my fault. It doesn't affect the forum at all, the bug goes after the user's hard drive... sorry again for misleading you.

[Skittles]

I got really worried.*sigh*
Thanks for keepen' the forum safe^_^

[Roxas-]

Roxasvsriku, it isn't your fault. you helped keep the forum safe.

[Nanaki]

Well,I think it was a smart desision. It's better to be safe then sorry. So,no worries!! No one's mad or anything. I was worried something bad happened. I'm glad everything is okay!

[Neku]

If it came up again, I would do it exactly the same without a second thought. I have no regrets in the way we handled it. Sara, do not appologize.

[hikki_kairi]

It's okay, Sara. No need for an aplogy. You did your job as an Admin and that is what you're supposed to do.

[Zexion of the Twilight]

'Tis ok, we appreciate that you care.

[Sara]

I'm sorry to the members for the inconvenience. No more, no less. As for anything else, I put the safety of the members first, no matter what. *to Arc*

[eastercat]

It's perfectly fine. ^_^ It only shows that you care.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

You were doin' what you thought was best for the forum. better safe than sorry right?

[Saiya-jin]

Good thing there wasn't a virus!

[Anniexo]

Glad it's all over and no need to say sorry Sara you was just doing what was best

[Vivi's Dark Side]

no worries man, gave me sometime to actually edit my myspace for once. you only showed you loved us!

[Emo Pengwin]

I was wondering what was up..=D
Thanks..I definately don't need a virus on my computer..

It shows you guys care..=D
That's all that matters.

[mixt]

I would rather have the forum off for a day or so as opposed to every active member here getting a virus. and i would also much rather have a false alarm than no alarm when there should be one (if that makes sense to anyone but me)

[Ratchet]

Thanks Sara for taking the caring decision. It's better take the safer option of temporarily closing the forum. You have nothing to apologise for. You did what's best and what was right. Thanks again.

[Spitfire]

Its all good, i'd rather the site shut for a day, then a bug popping up. Thanks for looking out for us.

[Laurence_Fox]

Well better shut the forum down to be sure than to have everyone pick up a virus.

I feel the staff was in the right.

[VideoGameNerd246]

Nice looking out, Sara. =D

[EvilMan_89]

btw, something i'm wondering, what made u think there was a virus in the first place?:confused:

[Sara]

A member was complaining about a link appearing in his posts. Roxasvs.Riku and Arc thought it was a leech ad, leading to a virus coming through the site via those links and infecting them and damaging the forum. So we closed the forum.

[EvilMan_89]

oh wow, that's wierd. but that was a good call, if that happened to me, i would probably just would've dismiss it as nothing

[Alex C:]

Oh I was wondering why. Thanks Sara! ^_^ And by the way it's Arc and I. . . . kidding... dont warn me. D=

[Roxasvsriku]

Like I said before, the link led to a download file the attacked the user's hard drive. The bug was created to cause system crashes and boot failures. It was possible to still pick up the adware, but only by actually clicking on the infected link. The forum was never infected, only Xadllas (who I haven't seen since the incident...) appeared to pick up this nasty bug. I'm going to contact him to make sure he is ok... sorry again folks.

[Sanda]

Better safe than sorry, I suppose. :P

Most definately!!! I really think no apology is even needed; thanks for looking out for us ^^

[Gravity]

Whoa...that's totally creepy. Thank you for making sure the rest of us didn't get it...you guys are awesome!

[Hakurei Reimu]

whew, good to hear. I was worried that something serious was gona happen...:eek:

[Peyton]

Sara, it is better to close down the forum for a little while than beeing unknowing what could have happen to the forum, you did the right decision.
You never know besides it is better to close a little while than members getting the virus and goes to the forum and then the forum cracks down.

Good decision (:

[HigherBeing]

Sorry I'm late, but ohh so that's what happend. Indeed, I was wondering about that too. I'm glad nothing serious happend.
