ARC, one of the most popular modelling forums on the 'net has been hit by a hacker twice in 3 days.
I wouild like to wish Steve Bamford and his dedicated team of moderators the best of luck for a speedy recovery over this.
Idiots that get their jollies by doing this sort of vandalism should be dealth with severely.
Let’s all come together and support ARC, an essential part of the online modelling community!
cheers
Mike
I totally agree…
I’m also member on ARC, and when I went on the site, I noticed that the forums where hacked by someone who calls hisself " Latinopimp " . What’s in a name ?!
I saw today that ARC forums where hacked again…
I don’t know what this person was trying to do with this stupid behavior, but he should better think twice before he does something… Is it funny to destroy other peoples work ?
I would also like to wich Steve Bamford the best with dealing with this “hacker”.
Just my [2c].
Cheers,
Jürgen
Best wishes to Steve and crew in getting this sorted out.

I think it’s a real shame that it’s not easier to get damages awarded by a court for things like this.
It comes down to accountability. Kids pull this nonsense because they don’t have to deal with the consequences.
Just imagine if junior found himself forced to spend the next two years of his pocket spending money to pay for this nonsense…Or found himself sentenced to perform 120 hours of community service picking up litter on the side of the road while wearing a bright orange vest.
Between hackers, script kiddies, spam and phishing schemes, there are days when I find myself absolutely disgusted by all the junk on the web.[|(]
I also wish Steve and the moderators the best of luck geting the bored fixed. I am a big fan of there site.
I dont know what hackers get out of hacking websites.
Tired of these idiots, harsh penalties must be imposed for it to stop and all countries must do their share to stop it, better yet let’s just “string’um up”
All my best to Steve! Modelwarships was hacked now ARC. With this site they make up my three manditory visits on the net EVERYDAY! When I was bedridden and otherwise incapacitated, these three site made every day a little better for me. I hope the fargin bastage is strung up and made to build snap togethers for the rest of his life!

fellin better after the rant!
Or just beaten to an unrecognizable pulp.
I agree with your accountability idea. Society is reaping what it’s sown in it’s “demonizing” the right of parents and schools to properly discipline 2-bit punks. If this kid would have had to answer to mom’s wooden spoon or dad’s belt back in the day, I bet he wouldn’t be such a f—bag now.
I was saddened to hear this news and wish Steve and his team all the best in getting the ARC forums back to normal. This person who keeps hacking ARC must be sorely lacking in anything worthwhile in their life. They obviously are too cowardly to face the real world and do something positive with their time. What a shame we can’t track this loser down and give them what they deserve. Darren.
I have to say that whoever’s responsible for it needs to get a life!! ARC has been hit twice in 3 days so, it’s someone who frequents the board & has nothing better to do. I just don’t understand why a Modeling Forum of all things???
Best of luck to Steve & the crew at ARC, one of the must visit modelling sites for me.
I’m a member of ARC as well and it has infuriated me to no end. All of Steve and Co.'s work trashed multiple times in a couple of days. There is no excuse for hacking… what’s the point? This punk decides to show his skills- his skill is being a moron.
yeah im also a member of the ARC forums and it just ticks me off!!! and it was the same person too![:(!]
I have to agree with the other guys,it was probably the reactions that we all had regarding his actions. We did not take it too kindly. Sure, we’re all pissed off about it. Why US??
Latinpimp’s low self esteem is the root cause here. Like any disrespect for others property leading to vandalism and/or neglect. What a shame.
best to steve and the arc guys over at thier site. i too am a member of that site and it ticks me off as why is this person is doing this its a modeling site LEAVE IT ALONE. i vist fsm and the arc site with morning coffee before i go into work. i just hope it dont happen here at FSM.
Yep you have hackers thats the old school stuff not to many of them around any more those where the real hackers the blue box and stuff like that we dont have to really worry about those guys much any more, its the crackers are the ones that do this stuff for fun and braggin right there the ones hitting all the web sites and all they dont even prgram there own code they get programs of the internet and there mostly teenagers not adults. I agree thay shoud be delt with the problem is that most of them are over seas russia has alot of crackers and so does china its that whole internatinal law thing if it happens here and thay are in some other country we dont have the rights or the jurastiction do anything about and until that happens we will always have prolems, not to say we dont have them here there all over the wourld but we as a country need to pull together with the world powers and get an internet treity signed to get this problem under control.
I’d like to hack them & see how they like it!!!
Maybe his hacking is to make up for his /her short-comings in ‘other’ departents???
At least us modellers CREATE ,not DESTROY!!!

A tall tree and a short piece of rope.
One of Steve Bamford’s IT guys made a new temporary chat room.
Very primitive, but it’s the only solution they have now…
They seem to have found some info about this idiot Latinpimp. He hacked several other forums, and they found one forum and site he’s member of ( hackers website ).
Hope this never happends to FSM, or I’ll kill that ************ !
Cheers,
Jürgen
