six_11,

I suppose you are a chinese since that is a chinese proverb.

Regards,

Thanks Victor,

Now I get it. Described in English with a phony Chinese accent, "Ancient chinese proverb shrouded in the mist of time".  :P

hi Roticv:
it seems you are familiar with china. here, we are no nationality. importance is that all of in the masm forum is only one nationality named masm member.

I read a lot of your posts. I already have admired you long times. Giving me much guidance always has be welcomed.

talking stop here.
if we talk more, Hutch will think we are putting the scrap into the forum.

regards

I have made the old forum site available again for members only who were registered in that forum. It will not accept any new members [...]

Glad to hear it, thanks hutch-- :U There is a lot of knowledge.
What about creating a generic account for new members? Something like name: "masmforum", password: "masmforum"?

[roticv]

I think that is a very good idea  :bg

[hutch--]

Yeah,

This is fine but the phpbb2 software leaks like a seive and I am less than interested in another 3 to 4 days work to fix everything again. I removed files and disabled the rest so it would be a lot harder to hack it again and I don't intend to make it vulnerable again. The alternative was to leave it closed but I wanted to make it available for reference for people who were members and who had posted in it.

There is a trick or two in the works but the data can only be a knowledge base again, not a forum.

 :U :U :U
yeah!
That's the characteristic of the masm administrator.

as a poetry depicted:
It is impossible that the pine tree is shaked by an ant.

Connect the idea that it took a lot of work to get this forum up after the last one had been hacked. It also took enough work to back up a 65 meg database with severely restricted access for security reasons to get the old forum browsable again for its members. Then there was the security testing to make sure both were something like secure so they could be used without being hacked again.

Also understand that policy is not subject to modification by repeatedly posting against it. It is in place for a reason which has been explained to all members and it will not be changed. Now if I hear any more about it I will delete the posts and lock the topic. It was posted for the convenience of members of the old forum, not as a running debate to change policy so the forum can be hacked again.

Also note the rules for the Campus where debate is not allowed in here.

Hutch,
I think you have been more than accommodating as usual.  That is one of the reasons I like this forum, it is because of you and your desire to be so helpful.  Kudos to you, Hutch, for a job well done!

only available to original members (i.e. the really old guys)
but - you can d/l the attachment files
i find most of the attachments are kind of hard to use without the text that goes with them   :P
however, some of them are really nice
