There is no point in trying to understand the full story when you don't understand a part of it. Your opinions on what doesn't match up are very far fetched from the truth.

Sanjay is new here, and let Bruinbark be approved out of no-where. Why is he owner of a top animal site right now? I don't know. Knowledge comes with experience.

AVA was hacked completely because Perrault/Apollyon refused to ban posters like Sonny, Dalen, and Catlion. They were spamming the boards, and sometimes, it's useless to filter a gold needle from 10 kilos of crap - to put it blunty. I don't blame them now, no forum should be hacked.

But you have to think outside here, Peter. AVA had many lion fanatics, and posters like WC/Vit were banned there. Do the math here.

Now, who says I fear exposure? In fact - there's nothing to expose me on. Vit and WC have both launched cyber attacks on me. It's useless. Once they have my office number, I'm not bothering with them anymore. I don't know what you're trying to get to here. You still aren't giving me a real scenario of what you will do when you know the full story (which is very long.)

Lastly, a final point made about Sanjay (try not to ban me here) is when he encouraged posters to type nasty things in his phishing page. Very unprofessional, and not healthy for the forum at all. This will only encourage him more.

The damage is done, you can make your move. But don't expect to know the full ideology and story behind these hacks when secretly you and Sanjay are trying to "expose" the hacker who hasn't given his real IP once.

Nonetheless, goodluck. When you are ready to explain to me your full intentions and follow my request, you can learn a lot.


 

Paul,

This discussion is about a problem that could result in a lot of crap, not to mention destruction. Not what is intended by those who created this forum. This forum is about predators in general and big cats in particular. We want to offer information and discuss issues neglected by biologists. The intention is to offer those in peril a voice and to attract posters with personal experience.

The hacker clearly isn't interested in animal forums and the things we intend to achieve. Same for the other issues you mentioned in your posts. It was and is about something entirely different and my guess is destruction is at the top of the list for reasons to be discussed later. I, to get to the point, expected a missile and I'm sure it won't stop at what we saw. Time for a few chats.

In the last days, I read a lot on the old forums. I also contacted a number of posters who have experience with the hacker(s). I got to a few conclusions. Not saying I'm right and not saying the problem will be solved. Just telling you we are working on it and testing a few things.

I noticed a number of posters seemed more involved than others. As most of these are still active, I decided to contact them. Questions and answers. The problem is in asking the right questions.

I contacted you as well. It is a fact you, in contrast to others, didn't really provide answers to the questions. We got a peculiar story and one difficult to verify at that. You say you want to deliver, but only if we offer a public thread and meet a few conditions. Meaning we could be digging our own grave. Also meaning we lose initiative and everything connected.

I don't think there was any need for the tone we saw in the exchange with Sanjay. He, in my opinion, rightly referred to the issues I mentioned before and also concluded you didn't provide enough to solve the problem.
His anger is a result of of the time and energy invested. You had a forum yourself and should know about that.

You say you are still waiting for a response to your offer. The answer is we are not quite done regarding research. We also need to discuss the outcome of it before we act. For us, it isn't, as you suggested, about exposing. It is about solving the problem. The exposing part was first, albeit in an indirect way, mentioned by you.

Anyhow. The conclusion is the first round was inproductive for lack of trust. The result is suspicions all over the place and the solution is a new meeting and a bit of water. We will consider a few things. You could make a contribution as well. Why not read the discussion we had again? My guess is there are a few issues you could clear without getting entangled in general statements and/or accusations. Regards,

Peter. Reply
