The Forum Is Closed (Not Anymore)

So yesterday, someone managed to hack into a mod account and screw around in the forum.
This has lead me to believe a few things about the site, we have some moderators who are not being careful with their login details and we have some malicious players on Johnny Two Shoes who intend to damage our website.
Well, they're not too serious because we can combat that stuff. Now topics will never be deleted, they can only be locked or hidden. New "report" button means any player can flag issues anywhere on the site (be it a username/avatar/post/topic/comment).
In summary:
- Topics can be locked or hidden by mods, never deleted (can be undone by other mods)
- The entire mod process will be publicly logged so any-time mods change something it is logged to show who, when and where in the forum it affects on a new page for every registered player to view
- Mods will be able to roll back changes (like re-show hidden topics/posts)
- Topic titles can only be edited by JTS staff
- Bans can be rolled back at any time by JTS staff
- New report button will let registered players flag all kinds of events on the website (this will come later)
Update, it's back. Tomorrow the old forum data will be back!

Not to thrilled about no more title editing, but it's for the best I guess; report button will be a good addition, however, and no deleting topics is a good idea!

I agree to everything but mabe the topic title editing. on one occasion i have asked a mod to change the topic name.
toobatee— 2 Months ago
The problem with topic title changes is that it's destructive editing (the original is gone). If I can find a way to let us roll back topic title changes then I will do that instead.
meridimus— 2 Months ago
and have a thing to let you know who changes topic names or bans people. like your own super hip hap.
1337man— 2 Months ago
That's the second point, 1337man. :)
Runey676— 2 Months ago
whoever did this is so dumb! the report button is a good idea
Cookieking— 2 Months ago
i think the mods should have a Megga hip hap in a whole new window so that they can monitor the forums.

when is JTS TV coming back I miss it!

noahvaks— 2 Months ago
bit unlucky its closed , but its good ther forums getting as face lift , but not one you'll see. and this has kinda turned into a tiny forum.lol.
targeted191— 2 Months ago
why wouldnt you come? i invited you! fine, if you dont want to come, just fine, i hate you to!ps: jk
dolphinator— 2 Months ago
and how come outofthefog isnt a member , i havent been on 4 a few days. did some1 hack his account? (sorry if this is private info and u cant tell me)
targeted191— 2 Months ago
fogman is not a member???? where is he? fogman is not a member? ooops for two postsbut he is, look at this: http://www.johnnytwoshoes.com/profile/user/outofthefog
1337man— 2 Months ago
some loser hacked his account and started raping the forum, we all tried to stop him, but then he shot the forum in the face and now its dead and a bloody mess.max is performing CPR right now
dolphinator— 2 Months ago
wait but Max and Josh shut down the forum when they realized what was happening! and yeah, max is performing CPR and giving it an Iron Man Costume too. Fogman is the best mod around right now. oh i see now.. he got his mod powaz taken away until the hacker left.
1337man— 2 Months ago
Outofthefog isn't a moderator anymore. Due to the fact it was his account that was hacked into. Just look at the leaderboard. He might become a moderator again. It's up to Max and Josh.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
technically he's getting his mod powers away for a long time. max and josh cant risk another attack like that.but i hope they change their mind, he was such a good mod
dolphinator— 2 Months ago
I think they should make him a staff member. he is so helpful.... and carney too.
1337man— 2 Months ago
Staff members are only people who actually are in England and work face to face with/for Josh and Max (As far as I know at least). Carney works for them, but he doesn't work face to face.Like I said, that's all as far as I know. It could be different.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
who did get hacked??was it foggy?ahh crap! i wish i were a mod now!
n1411— 2 Months ago
Read the comments, they'll answer most of your questions...
Runey676— 2 Months ago
woot!fogman change your password! they killed fogman.... those basta*** ( south park phrase )
n1411— 2 Months ago
oops! typo error i meant mod not member. i looked on the leaderboard , and he didnt have his mod status. now i know why
targeted191— 2 Months ago

nickvec— 2 Months ago
wait why is supergrover banned and i suspect whoever jake11 is also made the guy who tried to give us a trojan horse
noahvaks— 2 Months ago
supergrover is banned on false charges of spamming. he made a joke about being "owner" and the other spammers. we took it seriously, and a mod banned himits sad but funny at the same time XD
dolphinator— 2 Months ago
Supergrover isn't banned. He got banned for like an hour before Max reversed it. It was a misunderstanding as dolphinator explained.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
well i still think it was all a scheme by Jake11oh and have you seen the RHG battles and others by terkoiz they are epic
noahvaks— 2 Months ago

n1411— 2 Months ago
now I have to find some uther things to do
axelot— 2 Months ago
when will the forum re-openi try to change my icon but it wont work why?
Cookieking— 2 Months ago
They're working around the clock on the forum. Max just said it was halfway done. So, possibly one more day or two.Some times it takes a while for the icon to actucally change. Also try hard refreshing (Ctrl+F5 or CMD+F5 for MACs) the page that has your icon on it. That works some times, too.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
Well this kinda wrecks 1/4 of my weekend :/
mk0092— 2 Months ago
Sounds cool. I have been away for the whole weekend, can anyone fill me in what exactly happened?
Fippe94— 2 Months ago
Outofthefog's account was compromised, and an idiot deleted a good chunk of the Forum. Luckily, Max had a backup of the Forum from the day before. They are now modifying the Forum to improve security and improve awesomeness
mk0092— 2 Months ago
Boo, to the forum hacker. Yay, for the updated forum. Guess I'll be gone for the next few days. But at least no irreplacible harm was done.
3047464— 2 Months ago
How long do you think it will take for them to fix the forum?
nickvec— 2 Months ago
Nickvec, please read the above comments before asking a question. I've already said, "Max just said he is about half done, so a day possibly two," but that was two hours ago so I don't know where he is now.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
Oh sorry , but I didn't really want to look all over the 54 comments on here.
nickvec— 2 Months ago
ahh well. we'll just have to wait. and surely it's worth it , because if we wait now , we wont have to wait if it happens again , because of what max and josh are doing. (hope that makes sence)

jonah567— 2 Months ago
hey... you're right. and i hope it gets done within the long weekend..
1337man— 2 Months ago
in britain there is only about 5 hrs left of that 'long weekend'
n1411— 2 Months ago
You have to remember Max and Josh never sleep, haha. Example they released BDW4 at like 2 in the morning (for them). So who knows if they'll keep going through the night or take a break.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
oh wow yeah it's already 8:00 in britain. and we have columbus day (american, of course), so all schools are closed tomorrow.
1337man— 2 Months ago
Whoa, no fair! I live in America and my school isn't closed tomorrow..
Runey676— 2 Months ago
my school isnt closed tomorrow!!! this is an uproar!
dolphinator— 2 Months ago
i know that sucks for us
noahvaks— 2 Months ago
oway!!
n1411— 2 Months ago
I dislike Columbus Day, Since Columbus didn't discover America (Leif Erikson did), and Columbus was very dumb for his time. He did his math completely wrong, so he thought America was Asia.There is a Leif Erikson Day, that was on the 9th of October.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
and there is a national left-handed day aswell!
n1411— 2 Months ago
When is that!? I'm left-handed?
Runey676— 2 Months ago
Leif Erikson Day isn't nearly as marketable as the watered down Columbus Day."OK kids, get your viking outfits on and we will do a play about PILLAGING, PLUNDERING AND RAPING!"

August? Darn I missed it then. Oh well, next year I'll celebrate Left-Handed Day, and I'll put on my school play about vikings.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
@dolphinator. We have a late start. :/And Max and Josh do sleep. They fall asleep on the keyboard, so their heads are still coding while they sleep. Win. lolz

@nickvec. Calm down. I'd give it another day or 2 and it'll be open again. They're changing a lot of stuff over to the new system, lets not forget that.
DustyB883— 2 Months ago
If you mean how did I know the stuff about Columbus, I like history. I tend to know random facts like that.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
Did you need to post so many exclamation points? I think two, maybe three, would suffice.
Runey676— 2 Months ago
Runey you have a great point. That is a little bit extreme. Onbly if you are going to die in about a second it is ok.
nickvec— 2 Months ago
You have a point there...my friend made a site with a forum and said mods can learn everything about someone. is this true? ould the person who hacked jts have done this?:(:(:(:(
