I wonder though, exactly what she was thinking when she came up with this ingenius idea. What's the actual point?
And plus the forum is named 'Rayman General Discussion' but can now hold off topic and fanart content too. Someone hasn't thought things through.

It's no wonder a) the hackers want to destroy it, and b) it hardly gets active.
Fuck this I'm gonna make some toast.

Dang, what did they do to those hackers? Kill their family? Rape their pets? I mean, geez. (sort of a redundant thing to say, but I just can imagine some one being that sensitive, and having the intelligence to hack web sites.)

I do hope they end up in court or something. Didn't Beebop say that he actually got cease and desist letters from Ubi because of his associations with them?

I'm pretty sure he was bullshitting us there. I don't see why he'd give Ubisoft his address, and there's no way Ubisoft would ever contact him. He was a well-known spammer then anyway.

So, if I may sum up things:
- No forum-specific backups in the future
- No possibility to replace the moderators' deletion rights by a trash can
- No idea how to prevent the forum from getting hacked again
- Fusion of the whole Rayman category into a small forum
Which is to say that this forum, despite having nothing in common with the old RZ, will keep getting deleted at regular intervals by people we don't know anything of and that it will never be possible to backup the content, considering that they usually delete the posts over long periods of time and give the coup de grâce at night.
Not that I actually give a shit, but RZ is getting worse by the day, and it all started in 2004, to give you an idea how low it has fallen

To be honest I don't think it can fall much lower than it is today.
Anyway, I was hoping for a better explanation of why she moved posts into one specific forum, but apparently this was only done to make the forum more attractive... I'm really confused now.

No, it was done to have 1 active forums instead of 4 inactive ones. Not that i give the slightest shit about it anyway, as long as i can still post there.

Yeah, but that's not a reason. The reason why one active forum is now used is because it is more attractive.

How can you except a community to develop with only one forum? I don't understand why they kept the name RaymanZone: RZ died along with the phpBB forum. Now it's nothing but a tiny official discussion board about Rayman

So Kleaneasy is just a mod with a fancy title.

Kleaneasy, can you please explain to us what is your exact position as Forum Manager and how much power you have?
Yeh sure, as a general outline:
I manage/admin the official forums – by this I mean I create, amend, and update forums as needed and manage the moderators within my forums, recruit & oversee etc
Review community opinion and feedback from both internal and external forums and send this back in regular reports
Address issues as they arise from game issues to forum issues etc
And to clear some confusion in posts I’ve seen from members here...
I do not have the power to install backups
I do not have the power to change the forum software
I do not have the power to rewrite the forums software or fix security holes.
Thats just a basic outline but feel free to ask questions no doubt I’ve missed a lot but its late and I’m tired

I don't really see how this can be true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the first RZ admin cartrix create the phpBB forums?

The Ubi forums are much larger than the old RZ, this is why there's an intermediate level between administrators and moderators.

I only go back to RZ for my PMs and fan-fic now. Convo's there are boring, and take a few days to continue with one post.

Didn't ARZO hack Kleaneasy's account and use it to delete the forums, and then she lied and said that they didn't, even though her post count was changed and her name was changed from <ms-kleaneasy> to ms-kleaneasy? Or was her account hacked at all, or what?

Will you just stop poking into things you know so little about? Her account wasn't hacked, it was deleted. Nobody really knows which account was hacked first at that occasion.

And it wasn't ARZO by the way.

I don't like RZ anymore. Back when i joined it was a nice place but now when it got hacked the previous time everything was ruined

Indeed...perhaps if everyone stops posting there, Ubi will delete it, thus bringing an end to this shit?
