Update on the Leverguns Forum

Post by Hobie »

I've been in contact with Joel. (JimT is at the CSA gathering in AR) I'll post updates on my blog. You can write if you prefer as my blog is photo intensive.
Sincerely,

Hobie

CSA = Confederate Sixgunners of America

A group of guys who hung out on the Jim Taylor edition of the http://www.sixgunner.com website and forum got to talking about how much fun it would be to get together some time to shoot the bull, the breeze and miscellaneous targets as well. Since the ones doing the arranging were from the south the name just came naturally. This was the first of many rondezvous that have taken place over the past several years. To the best of my knowledge the CSA is the first and longest running anual event. Others have been the Nor'Easter, the PNW and the TSMS. The CSA has a website under construction - kind of. At least the property is staked out and a signpost put up. I expect that once the current CSA winds down and folks send in pictures that the Webservant will kick it off with a CSA 2007 gallery of pictures.

Hope this answers your questions.

It seems our little problem is one of 38,000 sites that were "defaced" by the Turkish hacker. Apparently someone there wrote an automated program that was inserted into Go-Daddy's" servers and it propagated throughout the system automatically.

Go-Daddy is blaming Microsoft. Microsoft is blaming Go-Daddy and somehow the whole thing has been kept really really quiet.

It is the largest defacement by one hacker in history.

ANYHOW ... Joel is moving everything from Go-Daddy's farm of servers to others and is working on the security so we never have this problem again.
Sincerely,

Hobie

The "regular" leverguns is having problems. I suspect another 2 months will pass before we have rectified the problem, so, make yourself to home guys.
