[WARNING - PLEASE READ]Martin's site hacked

[DocHoliday]

Yup. Still, welcome aboard McDuck

Update. Seems Martins website was not compromised. You are free to download form the Main site, but don't
trust the links on the main forum which your usual prudence should tell you anyway.

Cheers,

Astronaut Confirmed by Atom...

It's Confirmed Astronaut Atom.

HAIL THE MIGHTY MERANS!

[Shmi]

I asked Atom and he said it meant: Atom Instructor Astronaut in Russian.
I am confused, was Martin's site hacked or not? And I know about the Probe, that which must be hailed,
but who are the Mighty Merans?

[UAF_Lt_Brenton]

Somebody (i think it was DocHoliday) made a typo and started a religion. He meant to say "means" but instead he
typed "merans" and it all started from there.  The forum was hacked, but we're not sure if the website was or not.  
As a precaution, we're assuming it was hacked.

[McBrain]

Atom made that typo.

[DocHoliday]

Atom made that typo.

Eh? I don't remember that. Do you have the post URL.. ? It would be interesting if the "probe" cult actually originated
here. There are regular "prayers" now on the main forum

His forum password was stolen, but not the one to access the website. Meaning someone could post signed as
Martin, but they would not be able to change www.orbitersim.com contents. Of course if someone were to post:
"Hi all,
I finally completed new Orbiter release. Get it at www.your-computer.willbe/bythislink

martins"

People would actually download whatever this link would decide to give them

No, it's meant to say Instructor Pilot Atom. I was preparing for my promotion you see. I used Babelfish so if it's wrong
blame Babel Fish. It's in russian cos I like the language and hope to learn it some day. There you go, a good old traditional
explanation.

[freespace2dotcom]

A traditional explanation, and a good one at that.

This happened while we was chatting over MSN...

[DocHoliday]

Ha! Even I could understand that pilot-instruktor atom )

[Shirson]

Yeeep

[DocHoliday]

Is the main forum down? Maybe this is a result of the "hijacking" ?

[DanSteph]

Down for me also, hacking or down for "maintenance" who know ?

Dan

[freespace2dotcom]

It's down due to laziness.

probably, this might be maintenance, yes.
(at least, I hope that radu is fixing the bugs)

So this is it right? Damn Babel Fish. Thanks for the correction.

[Shirson]

[Atom]

Cool.
