Secure it. Contact the network administrator to do it, it's his/her job
How are they attacking exactly?
By the way... the correct name is "
cracker". A
hacker is someone knowledgeable in computer fields

Oh ok.
Well they set a date and 9 days form that they are going to try and attack the site, there is 30 of them, and the site they are going to attack is the link in my sig. But the owner has made two treads about it and took all the Mods off the team to make them like members.
There is a Cracker site I have looked at it, but there was this guy that got banned for the same reason's llama did. He was just a stupid fool. So we banned him and he made another account and said that he could destroy the site. There is this other guy and his name is DrakRider, he is the good guy out of all the crackers on the cracker site I told you about he has been keeping the site up with there latest information.

I would advise to upgrade to the latest version as quickly as possible, both server and forum, if it isn't already done. Maybe temporarily closing the forum would be wise if it can't be done on time.
People defacing website on retaliations often are childish-minded, and would probably be unable to find vulnerabilities by themselves. With an old version, they could use automatic attacking scripts found here and there on the web, which are unlikely to work with more recent versions.

However, our forum isn't Invision, but vBulletin. Not to say that vBulletin isn't vulnerable at all, but sometimes crackers will find an opening on a type of forum and will more forums of the same type to attack them.

Sorry to bring this thread back up but... I noticed your msn name is now HACKER.... Was this hacked or is it just a name you made?

Hem... just to clear things up, even though I was the previous poster in the thread, I'm sure Latu wasn't referring to me!
Welcome back, Latu!
