Sorry for the mistake!

Posted by Micah [indyfan.com] on Wednesday, January 09, 2002 at 4:58pm :

It seems I was a bit rash in pulling the plug on the Forum. I saw a
bunch of crap posted, and assumed someone had found a way around my
security or some sleepers (people I thought were trusted users) had decided to cause trouble. But the simple fact is that I "left the barndoor open" and let in the wrong element. I didn't intend to reopen general registrations for this board, but while adding a requested user, I left the door open for anyone. Big mistake.

Sorry for yanking your chain, but my level of frustration and anger
subsided quickly after I discovered it was my own stupid mistake. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the security of this forum.
