thegearforum.com Has Been Hacked! PSA

I know that place. Lots of castoffs from TGP and was started as an alternative to it. Some really good guitar players there, if you ignore the whiny children & eurohomos. Not a very big audience though.

And go fuck yourselves. By the way

Why the fuck are you still here?

I can confirm through a couple of anonymous sources who post there and other admins that I know out on the internet. how did TheRealDonnie get this info? Sounds like the administrator and moderators decided not to say anything on the forum because that would lead to mass migrations to other more secure gear forums.

Don't know if they've fixed the problem yet, but I doubt they have in this short amount of time. A server hack can take weeks or even months to clean up everything and restore databases. Sometimes never, and you have to start all over.

rig-talk.com has had more than one breach.


But I can't say anything more than that, brother.

I dont have any new updates looks like theyre keeping things quiet!

[TheRealDonnie]

And how do I know? I know people!

All quiet on the Western Front. Looks like mum's the word with this. Caveat Emptor and all.

[Ritchie's Party Hat]

Still no announcements. I do know of a couple members who have left; from the grapevine.

Hard to say the current state but there's been a downtick in forum activity. Maybe some of them got the news and quit. I know I wouldn't trust a hacked site.
