Posted: 1/10/11 at 1:06pmThe board has been down for almost a full day. Rumor is that it was hacked. I'd blame Spiderman for sure for obvious reasons.

Posted: 1/10/11 at 1:43pmThere were some posts on Thursday (or Friday?) regarding security issues. I never saw a reply from the mods.

Definitely hacked, it's back up with the top post requesting no new posts:
"All That Chat has been hacked - please do not post.

As for why someone would hack it, anyone remember El Muhammed?

Start a blog for his "reviews" so he can be one teensy weensy step closer to thinking he's a real critic?

Posted: 1/11/11 at 6:00pmReally? If I had to choose b/w BWW and ATC, I'd pick ATC in a heartbeat. At least they weed out the children and repeat trolls. Sucks that anybody gets hacked, though.

Posted: 1/11/11 at 6:16pmEven with the cynics and children and cynical children of this board, it's less toxic than the environment over there.

That's why they make chocoate and vanilla, I guess, smaxie. I never see a gang mentality on ATC like I do here, banding together to attack a singular poster or make fun of disabled posters. Or endless pointless threads making fun of other threads. Or trolls that come back to disrupt intelligent discourse year after year under different names. I find BWW far more toxic than ATC.
At the very least, it IS reliably about broadway, and personal attacks are not allowed there.

That is, unless you're a longtime/established poster...in which case, you can pretty much say whatever you want without fear of deletion.

Posted: 1/11/11 at 6:46pmI enrolled there but never posted. When I tried to post something a long time later, I got a message that I was "banned" from the site. No reason given.

Posted: 1/11/11 at 8:26pmThey weed out "the children" by using a format so archaic that only the over-60 crowd who gave up technology circa-Windows 98 can tolerate it.

I use Linux.
No problems for me.

Oh, really?
I've been on the internet since Windows 3.1 using dial-up.
Hardly someone who gave up technology circa-Windows 98.

Now they are begging for donations so they can afford a more secure server.
Screw them. They banned me for daring to ask about why someone else was banned.
