Ok, there is a LOT of misunderstanding of what hacking is. I will admit that I know more than most on the subject, I have known a number of "Hackers" on a personal level. It REALLY gets to me when somone declares a simple act such as posting a GIF or JPEG file to a UBB is "Hacking"
I myself no longer dabble in Hacking (NOTE I have *NEVER* attacked another computer system OTHER than my OWN systems on MY LAN). I would appreciate it if you would simply check the properties of the "Image" posted to your forum. You will see that it's a GIF file and the exact location of the file lies on this server :
http://stream.virtualave.net/badmod.gif
This is NOT hacking in ANY means or form. This is a more serious allegation than you may think.
If you would like me to *explain* what hacking is and an overview on types of hacking, then by all means, just ask.
I live in the UK and I have attended the 2600 (
Http://www.2600.com ) meetings in london, I have hosted a number of Hacker and Phreaker meetings (A phreaker is one who dabbles with telecomunications). I'm quite shure if I wanted I could easily set loose a bunch of people who would show you just what hacking can REALLY do to your site,
** BUT I AM NOT OUT THREATEN YOUR SITE OR THE USERS WITHIN **
This post is NOT a THREAT And I have taken a copy of this post, If needed I will speak directly to an admin of MacNN fourums.
Please see to rectifiying the situation regarding this alleged "Hack" of your fourum.

I thank you for reading this post and would appreciate and *appropriate* and intelegent folow ups otherwise, if an intelegent responce cannot be found, would the Admin of this fourum please lock this post (Please do not delete, I'm only tring to clear this matter up through accurate information).
