Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

Well, that was interesting. When I tried to get to Forums, I got some weird bondage site instead. (no, I didn’t check it out very carefully) Yikes! Time to get out the tinfoil hats, I guess.
I’m relieved we can now get back to our relatively tame discussions of who did what to whom on the front porch.

Yes I had that happen too! “Raid” or something like that. I tried a couple times, same thing, then gave up. It was only LATER that a message came up saying Forum was under maintenance.

[Jealoushe]

Yeah the forum was definitely hacked yesterday

I wonder if the hack was connected to the since banned and deleted poster earlier on this thread.

That would explain why I randomly couldn’t get on here at work :eek: The blocker listed it as “pornography”. All I could think was I know we talk about some strange things sometimes on here, but that’s a bit of a stretch.

I found that web site (Raidforums) had put a cookie on my computer when I tried to open COTH. Was able to delete the cookie so hopefully it won’t pop up in the future.

Wow! Of all the forums on COTH, you believe the system was hacked by a banned Dressage Forum person. Gosh, let’s go even further down that rabbit hole and say it was LK, SW, MB or any number of people!! Or, realistically it was some hacker somewhere trolling for sites with forums and hacked in!!!

COTH’s security certificate has been non-existant for months if not years. I just hope we don’t find out our information was compromised in the hack.

It was vbulletin that was hacked (v5+ and wouldn’t you know we are on 5.2.5). Programmers had a hay day with this one. Hopefully our information wasn’t stolen and they were just trying to exploit a vulnerability, but just in case change your passwords and if your email/password combo is used elsewhere never a bad idea to change those too!

@Graymaresrule

Not necessarily accurate. I searched on myself and found several untruths

Me too…and I contacted them because they linked me with a neighbor I can’t stand, had my age wrong etc. I told them to remove me from their site because of bad info. They actually responded and said they get all their info. about people online…I said so that makes it real? They did take me off the site.

I hesitate to search a name because who knows, if they have nothing that search might trigger their bots to go running to fill in the gap? Also, they may rely on individuals being offended by their wrong information and voluntarily offering corrections which is a genius model of how to grow the data bank.

@smoofox

Yeeeeeah… no. I didn’t. Not even close.

@eggbutt just referred to Trump’s tweets as an example of social media platforms that may get used legally… not a political comment. But that did not stop you from getting political with your feigned innocence about not using names etc. Methinks thou doth protest too much.

Sorry I misread the source of the quote.

It’s both odd and amusing that the current president has been mentioned a few times on this thread when he has nothing to do with the shooting.

[Mardi]

@eggbutt

@Mardi For heaven’s sake. I didn’t make a political statement. I chose a prominent individual who’s social media is and can be used against them…strictly as an example. Google whether Trump’s Tweets are being used in courts of law and you will find many, many responses - all affirmative. This isn’t for or against Trump. It is simply an example of how social media CAN be used in a court of law against someone!!! Stop with the political inferences!

I have no doubt that social media can be used against people in court and that most people know that without reminder.
If you want to stop political inferences on this thread, it would be best not to bring up politicians.
Let’s keep the thread focused on what happened at Barisone’s.

Wow. Only you have made this political. Redact the name from my posts and take the content from there. For goodness sakes!!

Agreed. Unbelievable.

@Mardi - it is " both odd and amusing" that YOU are the only one fussing and fretting and inserting your own passive-aggressive political stuff into this thread while lecturing others for doing what you have done. Here is a newsflash - some very public figures - like a sitting POTUS - may be referenced in a non-political forum in passing without it being a political dialogue. Just a passing reference that ties into something briefly. And all you have to do is continue on without jumping all over that, taking great offense and making it a Very Big Deal - as you seem determined to do.

You seem far more intent on policing other posters than “keeping the thread focussed on what happened at Barisone’s”.

This thread has strayed off of “what happened at Barisone’s” many times (OMG!! Horrors!) as long threads tend to do… and far more off course than a simple mention of Trump in passing…

[MorganSercu]

Okay - so how do I go about changing my password?

Ok. You win.

they didn’t correct anything, I said take me off your site and they did.

Click on your name at the left of the black bar at the very top of this page. A box will open up with your account info. There is a button at the bottom to Change Password.

@Mardi - there is no “win” to be had. sigh

[TMares]

@eggbutt was not being the least bit political @Mardi. She(?) (They?) were making a relevant point, using an example many readers would be aware of with regard to social media and whether it’s potentially going to be used for or against someone, anyone. Insert Bernie Sanders or Bernie Mac if it blows your skirts up.

THE END. There is no WIN- you could simply acknowledge that you took it in a way other than what was intended.

Here, just quote me Mardi:

“Thank you for clarifying your intent. I took it in a way other than what was intended.”
