Comment on EXPLAINING TEMPORARY CLOSING DOWN OF SITE by chris

Hi Gary

Of course I remember you – our former chief mod!

PBR tech help appreciates your comments but they say that this was not the cause of the problem.

We think we have identified the cause and they are working at taking measures now to stop it happening again.

We are really sorry that the second time the site went down was for such a long time. It was totally outside of our control.

We have now moved the site to a new server where a forced closure can not happen again.

This is life on the Internet and no one is spared from the risk of fraud, hacking and phishing.

Cheers………PBR Admin

Hi Chris.

I hope you remember who I am.
I doubt the problem was caused by what you’ve mentioned in the above blog post. PBR was one of many sites that were taken down recently due to the same issues. Overclockers Australia, Whirlpool, JB Hifi just to name a few all suffered the same fate due to what if I recall correctly was a SQL security hole.

Overclocksers Australi was briefly redirecting a totally different site that was used to screw up users systems and the database was compromised.
I’d advise that you put out a security alert to all users to change their user account passwords incase they were compromised as well. Many users use the same passwords for many sites so those accounts will be vulrunable as well.

Kind Regards
Gary Hope

Joan, you are right! There are a few articles around but most do not go to the depth of this one. Some pics would be nice but all the same, the story is good to read.

That’s pretty interesting, it’s actually quite hard to find information on pitbike history on the net.

Comment on POCKET BIKE ENTHUSIASTS WHERE ARE YOU? by Poulsen8r

1. Fix the search button.

As for the premium content i’m not exactly sure what you want us to tell you. We’d love interviews and advice from leaders in the field i suppose but is that really possible? At the moment i think the site is probably too small to be taken seriously and needs better maintainance to regularly clean the useless stuff off the site so it can become more reputable and more highly regarded by Mini owners. I mean, its not that its a bad site or anything i don’t mean that its just that like any forum i guess the repeats and the useless posts just keep piling up.

I’d like to see real high quality tech articles and detailed How To’s using the latest gear and bikes. And like “Run-Downs” on new gear and stuff like you kind of see in the magazines, reviews of the best Pit Bike of ‘09, easy DIY articles, the latest engines spec’s, etc…
