    Priusonline has been really gracious in the past about letting me post in the General forum...that's the best/first place you should look.

    I did make a post at cleanmpg.come too though only b/c one of the members there asked me a question via PM.

    Priusonline is indeed gracious, it's nice both work together.
    Doc I think it's your cold stethescope that gives priuschat the shivers LOL or do you blow on it first to warm it up? :p

    I went to my mileage site and posted there, and then I went to hybridcars.com and posted... some very nice person replied and let me know that it was the site, not me.

    Or else Tideland Prius decided that it was just a joke, after all...

    Okay okay.
    Calm down everyone.

    As a joke, I went ahead and banned everyone for a day. You know, just to see if I could.

    Good fun, right guys?

    Guys?

    So, a "hacker" (not really, probably a script kiddie with limited brainpower) found a weakness in the software.

    So was it just a case of "showing off" or did he/she have the wherewithall to collect our passwords as we tried to log in? Just something to think about.

    Danny doesn't think it was a hack, just some software bug. He was able to easily reset the system.

    I've had a couple of warnings for being a little too passionate in the past so I was wondering what I did to get banned.
    Thanks for the work getting the site up again to all concerned.

    Just so you all know, any established member that gets banned will get a notice telling you why and for how long...there shouldn't be any surprises. Usually you'll get a warning first anyway, but if you do something just blatantly bad we'll give you a PM or e-mail telling you what you did, why we suspended you, how long you're suspended, and how you need to change your behavior when you come back. Seems a bit juvenile I know, but we don't want there to be any gray area or question about expectations.
