       If you have good security, there wouldn't be any "hackers"....?
       And really, hackers don't exist on these forums. Only people
       that you've made admin can takeover the forum.
       That's why on MY forums, I am the only administrator. I don't
       add others for that specific reason.
       But if you do add other administrators it is important that you
       are very careful. Or create a special administrator group to
       take away some of their permissions that could ultimately land
       you without a forum.
       Also, isn't this the same thing here:

       Trust me, there are hackers everywhere - constantly trying to
       gain access to bits of information that catch their attention.

       Just to clear things up to people about what a hacker is-
       --- Quote ---
       > In common usage, a hacker is a person who breaks into
       computers and computer networks, either for profit or motivated
       by the challenge.

       (Wikipedia).
       If you have a poorly selected password, or a good one that a
       person knows and then uses to gain access to your account, it is
       not hacking.
       The same goes for if a member is given any access over what
       regular members have, and they make unwanted changes to your
       site.
       Hacking would be if someone went through the network, or sought
       out and decisively exploited a bug in order to harm these
       forums. :)

       A hacker named Eon9 was on an SMF site for a year. At first we
       tried to get rid of him, but after a few months we just ignored
       him and he left on his own choice.

       The site you are referring to was NOT hosted by CAF or SMF for
       Free.
       As stated above, our servers are secure. They were hosting their
       SMF forum on their own from a different webhost, and therefore
       the post above has no effect on our security credibility.
