On November 10th, 2005, Lunar Pages, the then hosts of the forum8.org domain, suspended the account following a 'phishing' hacking incident. 'Phishing' is the process whereby a hacker places a web page on an insecure site which falsely claims to be the login page for a bank or other financial institution. Spam mails are then sent inviting customers of that institution to enter their login details on the fake login page. The hacker then uses those details to login to the true site, and defraud the customer. As at this date, Lunar Pages still will not provide any further information, and will not give any access to the data on the forum8.org account. The forum8.org domain has now been redirected to another, non-Lunar Pages, host.
Following heated discussions on another forum about the way Forum 8 was managed, the moderators of the forum decided not to continue Forum 8.
Attempts are continuing to secure the forum data from the Lunar Pages account for archive purposes. If this proves impossible, the last off-line backup, dated June 2005, will be restored, possibly here.
The DLM/EV Gallery and
Extracts from the 'Passages' Video have been restored here.
Alternative forums, including two new ones, are:
Prem Rawat Talk Forum
Hamzen's Forum
An Ex-Premie Forum
