Can't belief this, lets me think of the new owner of PS

[master412160]

We all know what happened to AH but last time I checked it was in control back of Joel. Closed for 1 month and then going back open. But now just moments ago I got a e-mail it got back open. And got to this topic:

http://www.advertisehotspot.com/forum-r ... .htm#59107

Creative aka there Iamalovelyboy has taken the forum by force and is running it on its own now. pretending to really be the owner. This lets me think of promotion source's new owner as he also demoted everyone and was running the board like someone with no sense and as a freak.

I think Joel has lost full control now for real. I don't see him getting back control of the board.

I think or hope everyone logs out there. And Joel I am so sorry to see this happen to your site.

What a cock. BOYCOTT!!

This is madness. I hope this gets Joel to realize that he needs to start over with this forum. He keeps saying, "oh well, I should be able to convert from Forumotion because so and so did". Wrong! His site has totally been taken over by Creative, and I hope and pray that Joel realizes that if he wants to commence running a forum, then he'll have to start over whether he likes it or not.

 

[Mr. Duck]

i think he deleted the forum 🙁

 

[StripesAndFins]

The forum link doesn't even work anymore 🙁

Edit: Santa's Elf beat me to it 😛

Oh my gosh it has been deleted. Wow. Nothing like another Promotion Source incident. Ugh.

I hate creative's attitude in this.

Joel needs to switch to MyBB. I hat phpBB for its security holes.

 

[Kevin X Dragon]

I am surprise that people still use Forumotion after what happens to some of the forums hosted by them.

He was using Forumotion which is heavily moded phpBB and is not anything like a real phpBB.

 

[kavin]

I know. But you can convert forumotion to phpBB (with a crawler) and then convert it to MyBB.

That's why my site is making a runner to Mybb and I'm selling my other forumotion site.

Oh dang it got deleted. Well

RIP Advertise Hotspot

May it be remembered for the great site it was and the last dark weeks forgotten.

Sorry to here. But to be honest these free sites never last, and to be even more descriptive, forumotion forums NEVER last, worst free forum host in the world. Id say you are better of starting new, and this time dont use a free forum host. Good luck joel.

Well Joel is lucky because he has all those members to come join his site after he remakes it. Better than starting from scratch.

However, forumotion is not bad on security, I've been on hackforums and people had trouble hacking forumotion! All people could do was ddos it and guess the passwords. Apparently, Creative guessed it right.

Don't blame forumotion. I guess now Joel should pay for a forum host<br /><br />-- 28 Nov 2010, 16:55 --<br /><br />Well Joel is lucky because he has all those members to come join his site after he remakes it. Better than starting from scratch.

If you take a look at hackforums not a great deal of users know what they are doing.

 

[SheepishWolf]

That's what happens on free forums where you can't get backup. And Joel was just about to convert too...
Oh well. I was never a really active member there; it started as a rip off forumansion (also gone)...learn from other forums mistakes..😉

Tell that to the users who have hacked sites like CNN and other huge sites.

lol hackforums, really? 7/10 of the people there are couch potatoes with nothing to do and no experience. Anyways forumotion is the worst free forum host, security dosent count because most free forum hosts have good security, its about the features and everything combined. Forumotion's phpBB is so fake, I dont know what the hell they did to the poor phpbb2 they run, looks awful, and shows their poor coding skills.

 

[dee4life]

There is far to many admin/forum promotion type sites out there.

Last time I checked; using public exploits and paint to fake a "hack" wasn't hacking the last time I had checked on computer hacking.

 

[juststeven]

I just found out how it happened. A member of a forum offered to convert Advertise Hotspot and Joel said yeah and that person happened to be Creative who btw his new account is banned so yeah Creative got control over the forum. Damn I nearly fell for it as well. I was going to get him to transfer my forum. I am so glad a admin found out who he was or that would be two decent promotion forums gone.
