I mean, what the frell is the point of defacing a website just to prove you can, especially when said website is for a unfairly cancelled TV series that’s coming back some moronic script kiddie has hacked one of my forum sites (well, not _mine_, i didn’t make it, i just post there, trying to access the forums redirects the browser to some stupid site with Arabic text and mangled english… > [@](#): > > "??? ??? & ??? & ??? > fuck you admin am not sorry hacked your web sit > Enter it seems to redirect to some Arabic rant site or something, i don’t feel like clicking and finding out, so the cracker’s intent to make me view their dribblings has utterly _failed_, and it’s pissed me off, so their attempt to present their views has failed on all counts i imagine it’s probably some Anti-Bush “America is evil” hate site, i have no problem with people expressing their views, but you _don’t_ do it by cracking a website that is _NOT POLITICAL_ in any way, shape or form, that’s just stupid, the cracker likely has turned more people _against_ their views by cracking the site, not the best way to get your point across just because a website originates on a US server doesn’t mean it’s supporting the current administration, and when the website is promoting a science fiction TV series, it makes even _less_ sense to crack it with an anti-bush/anti-war/anti-U.s./whatever site, i can sort of see the point if they cracked a political site, but not a discussion forum, especially one where squabbles about the current political climate are frowned on, the forum in question is simply a bunch of geeks trying to out-geek each other in closing, i’ll say a big FRELL YOU! to the cracker and hope Scorpius ends up putting you in the Aurora Chair and set it to “Liquify”, or alternatively, i hope you end up spending some close, _personal_ time with a rather large, angry Scarran warrior (i think those are subtle enough hints as to what the website was discussing 😉 ) ---

After reading the first sentence, all I could think was “Is it a Farscape website?”:D. When you get ‘un-hacked’, can you post the URL? I’m a serious Farscape nut (In fact, mr. avabeth is threatening to divorce me if I don’t stop watching the third season DVDs I just got, and we’re not even married yet! 😛 ). I could use another site to fulfill my obsession. Ava ---

> [@avabeth](#): > > When you get ‘un-hacked’, can you post the URL? It’s the forums at [savefarscape.com](http://www.safefarscape.com). They still seem to be down, I’m not getting any response from them. But there’s confirmation on their home page. ---

[there’s a back door to the forums](http://www.watchfarscape.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=44), i don’t know why i got all worked up about “lousy crackers”, after all, as any true 'Scaper knows, _ **Crackers Don’t Matter** _ anyway… 😉
