Well, it looks like our friends the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) was able to hack into the administration side of the discussion board this afternoon. The rest of the site was left untouched.

Thanks to the awesome work of moderator Paul, all has been fixed and we can all use the board. Let's hear it for Paul!!!!

It appears the SEA performed similar hacks on sites belonging to the NY Times, Associated Press and the US Marine Corp. Not that I am advocating a missile attack and such talk would even be against the rules of the board, but perhaps there is a cruise missile that has the SEA's address programmed into it.

What? I didn't know they had an army. I was going to blame it on Polaris and it turns out to be the darn Syrians.

the message seemed only to say "back off, this is our business"....not really what I would've expected


BTW...is it safe to post my SS# and bank account here? or you think they might steal it?

Man, John, you have hit the big time. You are getting hacked with those big names. I sure hope you're not getting to "big" for the rest of us.:D

Thanks, Paul, for the quick work.

Gary is right.
One of them must have owned a 2009 Polaris 800 at some point!
I guess this is a global issue.

well it's over and we can all laugh about it now so I'll lighten the mood with a joke:

Two Middle East mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a plate of
tabbouleh and a pint of goat's milk.

The older of the two pulls a small folder out of her handbag and starts
flipping through photos. They start reminiscing.

''This is my oldest son, Mujib. He would have been 24 years old now.''

''Yes, I remember him as a baby.'' says the other mother cheerfully.

"He's a martyr now though." the mother confides.

"Oh, so sad dear...'' says the other.

''And this is my second son, Khalid. He would have been 21.''

''Oh, I remember him,'' says the other happily, ''he had such curly hair
when he was born.''

''He's a martyr too...'' says the mother quietly.

''Oh, gracious me...'' says the other.

''And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed. He would have
been 18'', she whispers.

"Yes," says the friend enthusiastically, ''I remember when he first
started school...''

''He's a martyr also,'' says the mother, with tears in her eyes.

After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully
at the photographs and, searching for the right words, says . . .


"They blow up so fast, don't they?"

They will follow any rebel without a cause over there!

To be fair, no snowmobiles are fun to ride or hold up well in the heat over there, even if you have enough oil to afford a $600 klim parka
