mr ailsbury Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 An international section would be good for the sales/wanted topics and rides/locations topics but the whole idea of a forum is to bring everyone together so separate chat sections and stuff would be a bit stupid really.Who cares what the state of the US/UK governments are, we're here to talk about trials and general fun stuff not all this crap.

It'd be good to get an idea if theres any demand for these - if there is enough I'll add them.I guess the .co.uk domain gives the impression that its UK only... but it's not, thats just the domain we got stuck with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I dont think there is any reason to have seperate forums. Otn will come back, just be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnglazer Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 While OTN could be frustrating and annoying to read at times, it was by far the best trials resource for US riders. It will be a shame if it is gone forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcVicker Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 it'd probly be better if otn and TF merged... the sport is so small, like whoever else before me said... its dumb to have separate forums when you could gear everyones input and info into one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like what OTN offers for the US riders and it is nice to check a different forum Like TF periodically. I miss OTN. Keep them seperate.

darkside Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Finally got tired of checking OTN to see if it was back up. Came here to see if people were talking about it. Sure enough they were, along with a bunch of crap about politics... wft. Then I get to Jon's post: What will OTN dayz be without OTN? (btw, this forum needs a :eek:) I refuse to accept a world without OTN for the sole reason that OTN Dayz must continue! But I don't know if I care enough for this forum to bother checking. Nothing personal, I just don't have a whole lot of interest in trials beyond my friends from OTN at this point. Guess I'll just keep waiting for it's return.

patricio Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Lets make a OTN subforum here in TF Or maybe just an Offtopic exOTN subforum...hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Most people who hack sites such as the DVLA, FBI etc rarely do it for malicious reasons, they do it to highlight security faults...and rightly so. The guy who got thrown to USA from the UK after hacking into the US Army - he never did any damage, he did it to show that the security was weak. Although most people who go to prison for such offences get offered jobs with security firms anyway. Although, OTN should have some back ups of everything so I imagine it'll be online again soon.

There definitely needs to be higher penalties for hackers. Long jail sentences, fines, etc. This stuff has to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can't look at it like that. Liek Anzo says, a lot of them do it for none malicious reasons. I think those ones should be let off or praised, so that newcomer hackers will think, "hmmm, naughty hacking and get hammered for it, or good boy hacking and become famous for it." The malicious ones, like the wankers in the case of OTN need punishing far more ferociously if you ask me, and the "noble" hackers need to be bascially ignored. (Obviously the malicious/noble divide isn't absolute, so that'll be a case for the courts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's exactly what I meant, but I really don't know of any good hackers except fbi, etc. or geek squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without rewriting the wheel, so to speak, here's what he's talking about Jordan. Follow links to black hats etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat We had a security assurance employee working at my building, both full time and his favorite hobby... scary stuff in the wrong hands, but a great tool when employed to test what's in place and make your defenses stronger. Anyway, check it out. Hope that helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
