TrapDoor

I may come off as a bit of a stranger, and I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum. But I think this has to be addressed for numerous reasons.

It seems as though The Lacrosse Forums of www.lacrosseforums.com has been hacked by so-called "g00ns". Just try going there, and you'll be redirected to g00ns.net Forums - Powered by vBulletin, the home of these hackers. It's a huge blow to the online lacrosse community, yes, but this could involve many implications for this site as well. The most prominent of which may be a boatload of ex-TLFers migrating here, at least until the situation has improved. I figured I'd give you guys a heads-up and let those TLFers here that don't know that TLF is undergoing what appears to be very serious problems.

By the way, I am simply a member of TLF, not a moderator or admin. My username there is TrapDoor. I can't answer all that many questions about the situation namely because
1. I wouldn't have the authority.
2. I don't have much information about this at all.


I can tell you that these "g00ns" are experienced Teamspeak hackers (whatever that is), and obviously know what they're doing. Legal action has been threatened against them but I doubt any charges have been pressed... Just a bunch of guys trying to have fun by ruining other's experiences.

I have a hard time thinking it will be down for long.

Who runs this forum? Motorcycle people?

Just noticed the same thing. Bummer for me. I guess this forum just isn't as popular as TLF. Seems empty at first, but it's got free team forums

Hope TLF get's back online soon, I had some deals going on

this is a relatively new forum, but guys feel free to share some of your information/love of the game here.

Looks like the site's back up now! Strange how quickly it blew over...

When I was redirected to their page yesterday, I saw someusers on with "lax' in the username. They've been doing a lot lately, google g00ns forums and you will see a ton of hits.
Oh, not again! Isn't what they're doing illegal?

Its probably illegal in some way, I'm just not sure what.

Inside Lacrosse is not going to be take this very lightly. g00ns usually targets much smaller businesses and organizations, I'm really surprised they are doing this to TLF, which isn't exactly a small group. Maybe they haven't realized that IL runs TLF?

Tigerlax29

Yeah there's got to be something illegal about it since they are interfering with the site which IL pays to have hosted etc.
