Forum being hacked?

I know this is in the wrong place but navigation around the forum for the last 3 days has been next to impossible for me and some times even unable to load anything at all.. As well as seeing a 2000 page topic's name change from the car thread to "Cadillac :3" or receiving errors like this..

So I hope a MOD sees this and passes the word "down the chain" or I may even give LMG a call tomorrow just to let them know.

You are using tapatalk right? Close the app and reboot the phone. I was getting the same errors until I raged and rebooted my phone, but then it was fixed after that.

The thread name change was due to a thread merge performed by one of our newer mods, where the newer thread name replaced the older name by accident. I can change it back if someone remembers what the old name used to be.

Other than that, the forum was under a DDoS attack yesterday and the day before, which caused several outages.

Any update on that as far as what can be done to combat it?

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Then why is there no question mark?

I don't see a question

Yeah... on his website he leaked all of one user's personal information and leaked some of mine on Twitter.

He didn't leak anyone's personal information. That user's personal information was publicly available. You or I could have found it as well if we really wanted to.

Mine wasn't. So his Skype (which he keeps private) is public? His IP? His school? Birthday? 

His school, birthday, and Skype were on some of his tweets, which the hacker just dug up. It couldn't possibly be hard to guess either cause he uses the same username for most of his stuff. Once you have someone's Skype it's easy to get their IP and therefor easy to find out what ISP they use. It's not rocket science, it's just spending some time stalking people and doing some Googling. Of course, to people who don't know better, it makes him look cool, which of course is how every 12 year old wannabe hacker wants to look. Obviously he runs nitrometh (refer to member title)
