He might be right.. i know if i was Paul i don't think i would want to go through all this hassle. Good luck Paul man i don't envy you.
Its just a matter of locking him out. Cant be that hard

Well thats depends on allot of things Vbulletin isn't fort knox and this version isnt the latest.
At this point Pauls best bet would be to bring the site down for a few days.
Wipe the server that its on and start a fresh installation of the forum with the latest version of forum code and restore from a backup.
But i'm sure Paul is working with his hosts on this

All you people saying that running a forum is such a hassle and not worth it, you're forgetting the fact this is a real business with quite a large user base, paying sponsors, etc..Paul and/or whoever else owns this is not doing it for free. Even the banhammer has been justified in the past with the fact it's a business and there are norms. As for the troubles, well, any job can be a hassle, that's why people get paid! It's another story why a real business like GTAM is not acting like a real business at all...[still waiting for the notification to all users to change their passwords in all other sites]
Can't he update?
Get a new server start all over? Maybe gtamotorcycle. ca

Thats a good point. Like you said though they arnt being very many decisive actions being taken atm.

The Web address isn't the server. That just a pointer to a physical or virtual device that runs the forum software. The servers themselves are owned by the Hosting company Liquid Web who Paul rents the space and processing power from.
Looks like Paul also owns GTAmotorcycle.ca.. it just redirects back to .com

:lol: Great idea, those hackers won't be able to see any pm's....
^ Um, they are hackers. They can most likely read the PMs also. 
Some interesting reads regarding vBulletin hacks/breaches. It is not just gtamotorcycle which is affected.

was trying to be polite.
Everything has been pretty High Level the Hackers would have a high enough level of knowledge thats its not going to make much of a difference.
One good point tho. Is it seems that this has become personal for the hacker (Not enough respect shown). This is either cause it was a Banned user or someone who does not like Paul. I think it could also be the hacker seeing the threads about the hacking and seeing "Lol stupId script kiddie" "Lol Hacker is an ahole" etc and that could of contributed. I theory it could have also been some communication that the hacker had with Paul that escalated it.
I think part of the prudence might be for Paul to Ban this topic of security issues.
yup
- I am still concerned that some of the elements of the page appear to by trying to drop malicious code
