Security?

Users should come to the Embassy to make all suggestions, bug reports, complaints, and anything else relating to the forum itself. The Embassy Control staff will take all issues seriously. Or kill you. One of the two. Possibly both.

Security?

Post by Kai »

Just a general question, do you guys care if I keep up with security fixes for phpBB at all? Frankly upgrading this board is a royal pain in the ass given the pieces and parts that have deviated from standard releases and the hacks installed. If no one cares about code vulnerabilities I'm fine with leaving the thing the way it is, its not like the 2.0 release line will continue for much longer anyways.

goes back to updating boards at work

10:45 Adam: Much better.

I could care less about it. We've never had security problems in the past, and point upgrades usually cause us months of trouble as we try to sync up the new version with my old [weird, oddly-coded] mods. Seems like more trouble than it's worth, to me; the time would be better spent fixing problems we actually have.

I agree with 3278. Security has never been a big issue since we're a moderately isolated community. Might as well spend the time fixing the problems that we have rather than create new ones.
