It would be pretty illogical if they weren't. By the way, this is like the most popular thread on makestation atm

We have the forum games, but outside of that it is the largest thread.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Acko - June 11th, 2013
I could see an irc channel for this, actually. #SMFNewDownTimeDisc.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013
Someone should start it, in all honestly. I think it'd be funny.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Acko - June 11th, 2013
That's a great idea
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013
Freenode sound good to everyone?
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Acko - June 11th, 2013
Yeah, sounds good to me
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013
Alright, for anyone who's actually interested, here's our IRC channel on this topic: https://webchat.esper.net/?nick=&channels=smfnoobs
(I recommend using an IRC client like hexchat, but for those who don't have one, the above link will work. )

That actually makes me laugh. As for SMFnew itself, it still has its FTP directory on its main page... lame. :

What particularly amazes me is the fact that they have all of their database.xxxx.php files just sitting out in the open. I wonder how many people have downloaded those so far. I'm not going to even try because I'm sure there is sensitive information inside of them, but not everyone really will feel the same way about refraining. Wow... just wow.
So, everyone gonna move to CreateAForum now?
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Acko - June 11th, 2013
SMFnew now gives me a 403 Forbidden error when connecting to it.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - June 11th, 2013
I guess when they saw everyone downloading stuff off of their site they did a 403 error.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013
They probably bricked apache even worse now. Honestly that's probably a good thing considering their files were up for download before, but it's too late now. Chances are someone has already downloaded tons of stuff they shouldn't be downloading.
EDIT: Don't forget the IRC channel: https://webchat.esper.net/?nick=&channels=smfnoobs

Well, when I opened one of the database files in firefox (shame on me!), they contained no text, so I'm not sure if they are any of use.

I think you'd have to import it using phpmyadmin or something.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013
Well firefox won't display the contents of a PHP file anyway, so that's not gonna work.
I sure hope there actually is nothing in those though. Seriously, that would be bad if there was something in those files.
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Acko - June 11th, 2013
Good thing I don't have it
Re: The SMFnew "downtime" discussion thread - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - June 11th, 2013
What's the network name and channel name of the IRC channel so I can connect with an external client? The espernet client is so slow
