The Latest From Keith

"(It's) better if we just get our own server. I plan on doing that in a few weeks.

I am not giving up on EFx2. :D

Here is some information some people may or may not know depending on if you were forwarded some of my recent e-mails.

My blog script on EFx2.com was exploited and a phishing scam was put on the server through our site. Apparently this is the 3rd time this has happened in recent months. The problem is this is the first time I have heard about this. If Martin would have said something to be the first time I could have done something to prevent it from happening again.

So now since its the 3rd time in recent months it violates the main hosts TOS so that single server was canceled (he has a total of 4 servers with that hosting company) so he is trying to work with them to get it back.

I personally feel he is no longer going to host us though .. even though its not exactly our fault this happened. It is not something that was done intentionally.

This whole thing completely sucks and is the cherry on the top of my crap cake this past month ..

Because or script is exploitable and I don't have the time to redo it all over again I am going to try out Wordpress MU. Wordpress MU is a multiple user Wordpress script and is developed and tested by professional and will be the fastest way to get back up.

http://mu.wordpress.org/

Check out the FAQ there. It has all the features of EFx2 as well as some we never had. Some of the cool ones include multiple authors per blog and the ability to post from a 3rd party software. Almost all the wordpress plugins work for it as well as all the wordpress themes.

I will pass on any information I get to various bloggers so they can pass it on to everyone else. :D"


Have faith, oh faithful followers of EFX - all is not lost! ;o)

Good to see your still blogging away. You should have got a Wii, that's fun and blooming knackers you out.

Surprised your EFX got phished, expect that more on Myspace, sorry your going to lose your blog on there :(

So, what does he need and how can we get it to him?

I don't know. :/ I emailed him on the weekend just after it went down, saying that if there's anything I can do he should let me know - but I haven't heard back. I imagine he's busy with working and sorting this out. I'll drop him a line again and see what he says.
