Questions and investigations are currently under way to find out if THIS FORUM IS THE REAL THING or SD HAS BEEN HACKED, OR LEE SOLD SD.

If you notice in the TIPS SECTION the OLD MOD from SD logged in and created ad thread with some wiring diagrams and also put a LINK to his forum REBELS. WELL someone called him and he did NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT IT.

So be very carefull about using your business email or your home emails to register until it is investigated and find out if this is the REAL DEAL or SD has been HACKED. Create a couple of emails that you can blow away in a minute. So if your registering use those emails to protect yourself, and if a email comes to you using those EMAILS do not open them.

No but they sure can send you emails with a TROJAN and grab all your contacts emails and or wipe out your disk.

Anyway just a warning, like I said MEDMAN was called and he said he KNEW NOTHING about it and that HE DID NOT LOGIN and POST ANTHING Yet it shows that he logged in with wiring diagrams and he is from California.

So just a warning that is all until is it found if this is legit or not. If it is that is fine if not this will be short lived.

I'm just teasing you. :cheers:

I do however find it a little funny that someone would go through all this trouble of designing an entire new forum from scratch for the past month, paying for the license, buying the domain name, hosting, and spending 3 straight days of transfering it over (with about 4 hours of total sleep time in those 3 days), in order to just steal a few emails from the members, to do absolutely nothing with. You gotta admit, it's a little far-fetched.

Even if it was 'hacked' (which it clearly wasn't.. you can ask Dawg/Lee), I think this is a much better option, don't ya think? :nod:

oh ok ic

me getting tons of spam,
just like the spam that was on the SD.com pro board site
ya know gucci belts & bags, bicycles, dresses,
that was a coincidence also. might have been
but being that the e mail addy i used there and here
is for custom cat run business i do.
i have only gotten ehh 100 e mails on it, for people looking for pics, or quotes
etc etc etc in months & months, not good biz idea, lol

we will see i guess

Ok well it seems all the data from the old forum is moved (well most of it) the old one is read only... The new one is awesome is ACTUALLY moderated for all i care the old scootdawg can go. I have used many of the forums features clicked on email links etc. Its fine guys even if it is unapproved. Medman was not the owner of the old one and he stated he couldn't reach the owner or take control of the forum from him so what ever happened happened. If you are going to hack a forum hack a BMW or Ducati site or maybe a Vespa site but why on earth would you want my identity I ride an old Suzuki I don't have any money steal my identity you may improve my credit score. No one is gonna hack a Chinese scooter site there is no money here.

Who are you anyway? How do we know you talked to any one. If medman was concerned about this he would have posted it himself

lmoa means "whatever ya right." Medman was not the old forum's owner guys. What does the transfer of the site have to with him?? Once again any criminal worth his salt doesn't go looking to steal the identities of people who drive the least expensive vehicles made.

Yes your right, but it appears nobody can get a hold of LEE. But like I said a few people have already inquired about this with pb and hopefully will get an answer soon good or bad. I hope it is LEGIT don't get me wrong but the way it was done is not good business and not smart. How about all the google hits for the old link will no longer come up. Also how about all the advertisers on the forum.

Reason this was brought up is MEDMAN was called and he knew nothing about it. But supposedly he or someone posted using his logon id. So with that, questions arose and things started to roll. For example many already know who you are your name address age and what not already, and no hacking had to be done to get that information.

Stealing Emails from people gets hackers into peoples computers that MOST have personal information on. The Emails are crap after a hacker gets what he wants off your computer. Its not the emails that count its what is on your computer that can be of use for hackers.

It's no secret that Lee is a hard man to get intouch with, but I'm sure he'll chime in once he gets a chance.

The way it was done? I'm not sure what you mean by that. How else could it be done? It was done about as professionally as you can get. Not smart? Please, don't insult my intelligence. I've been running forums for over 13 years, I think I know what I'm doing.

Google hits? Not sure what you mean by that, but I think you mean that people searching via Google will be lost now. How? The search results will still direct to the old scootdawg forum (until they eventually direct to the new) which will in turn direct people to the new one.

And the advertisers... what about them? They're still here and are quite happy. lmao And as far as emails, you still need to 'hack' into someone's email, which would have been possible anyway. And trust me, your emails mean nothing to me, I have no use for them.

Got anything else?

Whoa, Nelly. Having your e-mail address in no way gives hackers access to your computer. That is absolutely false. I've worked on computers and networks for 22 years and while I may know jack shid about scooters, I know computers.

Having your e-mail address will allow a so-inclined person to send you junk mail, or, to sign you up to receive a bunch of junk mail you don't want. This is why e-mail services have spam filters. On Yahoo! Mail, for example, you don't have to ever read spam. You just click "empty" on the spam folder or just set it up to automatically empty spam. Yes, some will still get through, but when you click on them as spam, the e-mail service's spam filters get sharpened, and more capable. It can be a slow process.

The paranoia about what somebody can do to you having only your e-mail address is not warranted. If you have your anti-virus stuff up to date, a capable firewall deployed, and your anti-malware/spyware/adware software defenses/scans active, you have nothing to worry about.

As far as the legitimacy of this forum, I'm still laughing at this brilliant line by scootnwinn and I totally agree with it: "No one is gonna hack a Chinese scooter site there is no money here." :clap:

Well for all those genius computer guys, I started my career as a PROGRAMMER writing software for mainframes and then pcs, as well as security software for both.
All you have to do is find the loophole in the software to get around anything. You can only do and think of so many ways that someone can get around it. Miss a few and it is found and there goes that part of the checks in the software. That is why all your current security software is always being updatee. They can only update once it is britched to plug the hole or holes.
I am retired now but I started back in 1969 programming, the going lanugage then was RPG, BAL and COBOL and Fortran, then the pcs hit then your Script,Basic,GUIs using C and C++. Gui programmers were a dime a dozen coming out of college and they still are. Many companies used to get VISAs for Chinese and India programmers and bring them over and house them like cattle working for peanuts. So with your 22 years you still have to lot to learn.

I don't care what programming you learned starting in 1969. That has nothing to do with what people can do having only your e-mail address, and as a matter of fact, they CANNOT get access to your computer having only your e-mail address unless you execute malicious code through an attachment, which almost everybody is smart enough not to do. Having your e-mail address gives a hacker NO POWER over your computer. A lot to learn? I think you have a lot to learn about computing and security in 2013. Let's bring it into the 21st century, eh?

And yes I'm a hawk on people spreading false fear; just last night on Facebook I was sharing this friendly reminder: "If you see a post that you might want to re-post but you don't know if it's legit, all you have to do is highlight a couple sentences in the post, right click, and choose "Search Google for..." (for Chrome; similar for other browsers) and if it's a scam/incorrect, it'll pop up on hoaxslayer or snopes.com, typically. But, it's important to actually click on the result, because occasionally they are "true," or "partially true." Most of the ones I see that I bother to check on turn out to be false, especially ones that involve personal safety, government, or facebook policies. It's a quick, easy way to make sure you aren't furthering anger, fear, or panic for no reason. THIS post is one you should re-post! :)"

LeftyThat's ok lefty, (at least you were looking out for your fellow Dawgs, so thanks.) What's the old saying? "Better to have ammunition and not need it, than to need ammunition and not have it.... and now with my paranoia in full bloom, I will drink "mass quantities" and proceed to watch Dr Strange love.

OK, What happened is this.

Lee has allowed another person to transfer all the content of this forum to the other place. When they did that the forum was converted to a read only forum and the link to the other place was posted.

As you might guess PB did not like that. They have disabled the Admin account and the forum is now back open for posting.

First of all, no, the old forum will not be used anymore. Lee and I have an agreement, and I've dumped a lot of money into this venture to give you a better forum.

Everyone complained how the old forum was neglected, had tons of spam, etc, and I gave you all a new home. We are now on this forum, period.

I am late to the party, I didn't even now about the party until after I got to work this morning and got a call from JR.

Seems the story is true, Lee allowed the admin here to transfer all the Dawg stuff to this Dawg house.

the real only bad thing about the original site
there was ONLY one mod
who has his own site, plus a professional job
he couldnt be everywhere at once
doug even explained that lee wouldnt authorize new mods
to get rid of spam and do other mod jobs

now not sure about mike, maybe this is his only job
maybe this is all he does and can stay on top of it at all times
maybe not


THE ONE THING ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ENJOY HELPING OTHERS SHOULD REALIZE IS..
when u goggle scootdawg, you get the original site listed 1st, this one is way down the line. so noobs will go there 1st
so if you really care about helping noobs--you should also help there

Google will adjust quickly. If the folks on the other site really cared they would have left it the way it was a couple days ago. Hopefully Mike will name additional mods when he needs help.

I've been through so many forum changes since I taught myself how to use a computer in 99, so I'm a pilgram by most cyberian standards.....but this was the quickest change over I as a member ever went through.
The last site conversion (I was a member at) was down almost 2 weeks, lost all my pics, saved messages, PM's, karma points/bones.
Some have just blinked out and was gone, no notice, just gone.
I think you have done a great job folks!! Thank you.
