The main Sydenham Town website (on our V1 server) will be upgraded today between 13:00 & 23:59. This will mean an outage of 15/20 minutes while the power strip is replaced. This will require a powerdown. It will break V1' s record of 394 days running without a break. Sydenham Town Forum on V4 wi...

The scheduled upgrade today resulted in an Forum outage between approx 14:40 & 14:55. We apologise for any inconvenience.

We are under attack again! A new version of the 'Santy' exploit surfaced today. We have taken action to filter attacks from this board.

This hacker's exploit was closed 10 days ago so the attacks have been unsuccesful. However, several times yesterday afternoon and evening t...
