Damn Smokey...I didn't realize how fucking stupid I am. And how smart you are. Who are you again? And what do you run? And what site were you the admin for NATS with? I'm not asking that in a mean spirit. But since you know so much more about the internet than I do, I just wanted to know who I'm talking to.
You can offer your opinions all day long. Show me how successful you are by identifying yourself so I can know how much weight your opinions hold.
I have told you what the reality is. You can continue to make conjectures 'til the cows come home and it doesn't mean anything my friend.
I see things differently if you don't mind. I see the whole situation as me being responsible for myself. I don't need NATS to tell me that my shit is being broken into. And that's exactly what I did. Yes, we asked questions when we saw strange things.
But I didn't expect some third party rental software to give me answers. And sure enough they didn't. So stupid ol' me, who obviously doesn't know shit...well we took care of it ourselves. It was pretty simple to take a look in mysql and see what was happening and handle it.
It's nice to know what happened after the fact. And I'm very interested in finding out when everything washes out. In the meantime I'm just gonna keep making money. I could give two shits if it's with NATS or some other backend.
Now please, let's stop quoting each other. You are obviously some old school guy...maybe one of a handful who have been around longer than me, and you are toying with me with your vast knowledge. I surrender.
I would just like to say...unless somebody has a positive direction to go in then it's all just negative.
My solution is FIX THE PROBLEM. Then direct your energies back to making money. And people should do whatever they think will make them the most money.
If nobody wants to promote NATS sites. More power to you. If you're scared that some hacker is going to steal your info...I don't blame you one bit. If you think there is a better backend that can not be hacked and/or would alert you much faster so you don't have to worry about your own security, then please only promote the sites that use that backend.
Everybody has their own preferences and their own ideas on how to make money.
And again, I don't know who you are. Smokey The Bear? Okay, you're either a cop or a spokesman for firefighters! LOL! I'm just kidding with you.
But my name is Robbie. My nickname is "Robbie". I was born "Robbie"
No smoke and mirrors here. Just me explaining how I see this whole thing.
If you think this is a big deal...then more power to you.
I don't. Maybe I somehow got "lucky" and just happened to know a few things that went down over the years that you weren't privy to somehow. Who knows? Who cares?
Let's all make some money and feed our families. This "crisis" is past for the moment. Maybe tomorrow somebody will hack it again. How can any of us know? Maybe tomorrow somebody will hack a major bank again.
Can't predict the future. But I can deal with it when it comes along.
I wish everyone else lots of fortune in 2008 and keep a positive, productive attitude and be prosperous.
Later guys...
