Difference between revisions of "2011"

Towards the end of July, a series of hack attacks on the community created chaos. Mass searches were conducted on SpongeBuddy Mania and iNick Online, two neighboring sites, in an attempt to find the hackers. Those behind the attacks were never found, and several threats made by the hacker prompted the site to consider alternative hosting options. It was announced SBC would move to a paid host with vBulletin as V7 Clownfish. However, the transition onto the new site was handled sloppily. Hundreds of bugs were reported, with many users unable to even log into their account. Problems plagued the site well into September, and an invasion of spambots furthered issues on the new site. Users also complained of noticeably slower speeds in comparison to that of Forumotion, slowness that stayed until the site finally moved to IP.Board with [[Orca]] in June 2012.
