    Yesterday I was playing in the admin panel of one of the forums that I was an lead admin on, by playing I mean adjusting the time zone etc. Anyways I was going through these options and I got an error in the forum software (Vbulliten) It said we have sent a message to technical support about this issue, now I didnt know what was going on so I immediatly turned the board offline. The forum isnt very active anymore so I didnt think it would be such a big deal. Anyways I took my g/f out for supper and then to a movie and when I got home there was some nice little messages left on my instant messanger and in my inbox. Stating the owner has emailed my isp and that his "legal department" will be getting in touch with me for exploiting the site.

    Now my question is what have I done wrong? I am the lead admin there, I have the most posts I have donated my time for 2 years and never asked for anything in return and this is the thanks I get?

    What do you think I should do?

    don't sweat it. More than likely they thought that someone might have hacked into your admin account to cause problems.

    Once you explain what happened I'm sure it will all be layed to rest.
