Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 Everyone who is able to get on NewDoom, head over there quickly!!! Someone's hacked the entire forum and stolen WMull's account and is destroying it! The forums are a huge mess! http://meathead.dmhgames.ath.cx/hack.jpg Now there's only 1 post per page. Mull must have done it this time to get someone pissed enough to hack his account.

Planky Posted January 7, 2004 Looks like R&R is the one thats being fucked with. The rest of the forums are ok (with the exception of the global options which effect every forum eg the one post per page option) Doom_Dude's account has also been jacked. I somehow doubt phoebus/wmull will keep the forums running after this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 If he can even get in. If the hacker has any brains he'll have changed Mull's pass. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted January 7, 2004 I logged into the admin place when I saw the announcement to see if it was true, but I didn't do anything. I hope I don't get in trouble for that... I've never posted on NewDoom anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted January 7, 2004 His account has been renamed, so I would think the password would have been changed too. At anyrate, all he would have to do is delete the whole of the board and start over. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hobo Posted January 7, 2004 You think this has anything to do with doomworld going down? 0 Share this post Link to post

exl Posted January 7, 2004 This was bound to happen someday. Just a ticking timebomb. But funny\hilarious? No. Edit: Great, other forums just got goatse'd too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 Somehow I have the feeling NewDoom isn't going to exist after tonight. Fuck, Phoebus doesn't even know whats happening, he's asleep right now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted January 7, 2004 I feel sorry for him. Once he wakes up he's not going to be very happy. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 7, 2004 Sad. If people don't like Newdoom, they should just leave. 0 Share this post Link to post

Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 Well, thats it. NewDoom is completely destroyed. All the hosted forums are gone, assumingly deleted, its over... jesus. I hope mull backed up this thing. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 7, 2004 Gee, only the forums? Where's the webmaster status for everyone? 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 7, 2004 I hope whoever did this gets prosecuted. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mordeth Posted January 7, 2004 There is no excuse for hacking into a website. Hopefully everything will get sorted out over there soon. People may gloat when "they" forget Doom's anniversary, or don't attract as much visitors as we do, or something else to that effect. But you don't gloat when it gets hacked and defaced. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cyb Posted January 7, 2004 sucks, all the threads are gone now though I have to add it's not newdoom as a whole, it's just the forums; the rest of the site is fine 0 Share this post Link to post
Skunkboy Kyle Posted January 7, 2004 Personaly, I think NewDoom deserved it, maybe not it's forum members but the person who prevents people from joining their website if they are from DoomWorld. That is childish and frankly I like the fact they got goatse'ed for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 Well wether it was right or not, I would have to say that it was bound to happen sooner or later with as many people as Phoebus pisses off. Its almost like bad karma in a way. 0 Share this post Link to post

didi Posted January 7, 2004 no site deserves this kind of hacking. If someone has some kind of problem with the administrator, he finds him in real life, and talk (hum... or anything else less friendly if needed) all talks between users of newdoom forums are gone, and I doubt there is a backup somewhere. Only users are paying for this hack. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted January 7, 2004 Yeah when you look at the overall aspect of it, alot of people got screwed who only go to the Legacy and DoomsdayHQ forums. All of those threads with all of those links and combined resources are now gone. The great majority of NewDoom was those hosted sites and forums. If NewDoom still existed so to speak and those moved, NewDoom would be pretty dead. 0 Share this post Link to post
