    Hello guys/gals,

    I have a question:

    If someone steal the password of the cpanel of the whole DP from shawn. And redirect all the DP links to his website.

    So how much visits will he get :D ? And if he redirect forums.digitalpoint.com to his forum, and he post at his forum that:

    "This is the new DP, please register and post here. Forums.digitalpoint.com is closed now" :D:D:D

    Will his forum get some members?

    Thanks

    This is a rather dumb question... you would get a lot of traffic. But it would be short lived because I would undo whatever you did and also permanently take down your Internet connection just to get back at you.

    Not only that, you would need to get through 2 firewalls to get at servers (all of which have non-routable IP addresses), and even if you did that, you would need to physically be on my personal workstation (IP based authentication as well) *and* have my password *and* my SSH key to get to any of the stuff. So probably not going to happen to be honest... it would be easier for you physically break into the data center and get at the servers directly.

    Lol, burn. That is the most protected server that I have heard besides those Government Super-Computers.
