1. I have taken down many other threads, including many posts on the "SSPX Resistance" Facebook page, so that I don't give too much information to the attackers, whoever they are. I was very transparent and open with you, the readers and members of CathInfo. Possibly more than I should have been.
2. I have received (or am about to receive) donations from 11 CathInfo members. To all of these generous souls (you know who you are!): Thank you so much for your generosity! May God reward you.
3. I am a computer guy (surprise, surprise!), so I'm a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to computer hardware. Therefore I have ordered parts to build a really nice web server. The fastest CPU that wasn't ridiculously expensive (i7-5820K for those of you who care), reliable motherboard (lots of good reviews), lots of RAM, and plenty of hard drive space. For this server build, I'm going to use many parts I already have on hand (monitor, video card, keyboard, mouse, power supply, DVD drive, etc.) The last piece of the puzzle should be here tomorrow (Wednesday).
4. Today I did a lot of research and purchased a hardware firewall. I'll be using various software "firewall" features as well, but I think it's important to have a hardware firewall between my server and the Internet at large. This will give me options for filtering out malicious traffic, etc.
5. To all those who haven't donated yet: If you are interested in helping pay for this "moat" around the new CathInfo castle, please send me an e-mail (matthew at cathinfo.com) or PM me, and I can give you my home address and/or paypal e-mail address that you can send donations to.
And, last but not least...
I am aware that URLs, images, youtubes, and a couple other "tags" no longer show up in the posts. These items are still there in the various posts; they are just "hidden" for now.
This problem was introduced when I upgraded the site to PHP 5.5 as a result of the server move. Think of PHP as the machinery that makes the forum operate.
Rest assured that I'm doing my best to solve this problem, one way or the other, as soon as possible. If I don't get to it, it's because I have even more urgent things to work on...
