yes there was a hack a long time ago when we used to run Invision Power Boards.
Following that, we switched to Xenforo, no hack since.

A couple of years back there was some kind of scare after someone hijacked accounts on the forums here. But it turns out it all stemmed from the database leak of another site (a ROM site), some people had accounts on both places and were using the same password, so their accounts got compromised. We posted something to clarify: https://gbatemp.net/threads/addressing-the-recent-user-account-hack-scare.456959/

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    Lol charging your dad's classic unless he's the type that doesn't like taking things like that
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
