When I go to the home page on Graflex.org and to the events section, I get a giant random text listing. Are others having the same problem?

It's not a random text listing, but a sleazy hack job of scam internet drug sites by some idiot who is probably connected to the sites in some way. Luckily their IP addres was recorded ( (last edited January 8, 2005 by 83-65-7-162.sh-wien.inode.at) ), but I doubt this would hep anyone. It looks like the page was left open to being edited by users...

Idiots like this commonly ruin things for everyone else in the hopes of making a buck...

You're both right. Apparently the idiot managed to get quite a bit more info in there than would display. It took many deketes to finally clear out all the garbage.

I didn't want to do the edits, but since it was already done, why not...

As of right now, both the Events page and the wiki page are clear. It's just a shame that the original info was lost to this jerk...

Sorry, Rich, it's back in it's full glory. There is an ISP address listed for the idiot. Is there any way to turn this in to authorities?
Who oversees this kind of thing, anyway? FCC?

Well, he either set up a script or he's just some anal kid with nothing better to do?

It's a different IP this time, and rather interesting. Hreere's the details:

Maybe the Navy should be told about this?

As far as the FCC, I doubt they're interested. If the true originating IP can be found, they might be convince to terminate the person's service. A minor inconvenience at leat. After that, I think it takes personal legal action... But there might be an organisation that would be interested? But since I'm just a member here, there's not much I can do about it except 'complain' :wink:


Okay, since he used a US government military server to do his latest damage, I thought I'd ask the military for some help :wink: We'll see if I get anything more than a stock reply...

Sorry folks. It's automated scripts.
Every now and then I have to put in more hoops for them to jump through. You now have to type a reason for editing a page or links.
