Has someone really hacked the database? I never seen any hacking trace so I won't believe it unless there's a concrete evidence (for example the database tables screenshot made by the hacker ). Here's what I'm thinking: Changes made by ~Gothic Nedd~ to other member's accounts (email/password changes, account bans, etc) were possible because he's using moderator's account (let's assume he already knew james' password since a long time ago and [i]the password never changed[/i] [@james: if ever, when was the last time you changed your account password?]). Since user's login and IP logs are also stored in the forum database, if he managed to get there he wouldn't left the log information of his IP just like that, would he? And why he banned james' account, instead of mine or other mods?
