F-B UK has not been hacked nor have we given any info out to anyone.

I'm sure this is the case and is all roses, your operating system is fully patched and your server kernel is the latest version and none of your PHP packages contain vulnerabilities, neither does your web server or SSL libraries plus the forum software is the absolute latest version but it's worth pointing out here that there's just no possible way you can know if you've been hacked.

All you can say is that to the best of your very limited knowledge (not meant as a jab, unless you're a security professional) you do not think you have been hacked.

Ps, if nobody fullbore side is aware of the situation with regard to your software versions etc, then it's worth asking your hosting company if all of the above is true with regard to your security.

If you need any help, I'll happily provide it gratis.

The thing is people will be thinking you cannot "tap" fibre optic cables, how wrong they are, its all about bends and light refraction, not easy but it is possible.

If your Sett can do it that easily and financially viable you might want to speak to the people at GCHQ, as they might want to employ you.

Are you suggesting that the NRA of the US sent out the message from mailchimp about this new board?

Thanks for that, I know I saw nra and wondered if it was a nra uk list that was being used. So no is the answer.

The odd thing I deleted the invite email after unsubscribing and it's disappeared from my trash folder!

Anyone put 2 and 2 together and got proboards yet?
Does the NRA run a proboards forum? Is anyone on other shooting forums hosted by proboards?
It's in their interests to get you on ALL their forums cos members means advert prizes!

So Airbrush cause you don't understand IT anyone that does is a Nerd? So these Nerds keep your day to day infrastructure going from your daily travel, to logistics to make sure there is food in your shoppe, and also keep the health services running.

Attitudes like this are because you don't understand or are frightened of them like the disrespectful 'Pretendy'

I might just be being over defensive but because we have soft hands we are seen as being 'different'
