raid517 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Why was the front page 'edited' today? I mean there was a story about a certain hack that allowed unathorised users to use W2k03 server. Why was it deleted? I'm just curious. I don't want to start a debate on the topic in question. I just wondered if maybe it turned out to be BS?

tomwarren Veteran Posted April 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2004 Titled Editted Moved. In answer to your question the story was removed because of admin decision on what content is to be reported here. The story isn't "bs" though and i don't agree with it being removed but nevermind :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanman Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Isn't it sort of warez related which isn't tolerated by Neowin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Isn't it sort of warez related which isn't tolerated by Neowin? The purpose of the article was simply to report on its existence. Unfortunately, neowin staff were of divided opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanman Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I think if the article did remain, then there will be a few people who will be asking on this forum seeking for the location to download the keygen. Which ends up to be more troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuaKeD Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Too bad, because lots of other tech sites sent you here to read the article... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted April 7, 2004 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2004 It was pulled because the story was worded in such a way that allowed dicussion on its existance and how to get it, members also disregarded the repeated requests not to post links or information on the tool. So basically I felt we broke our own rules with the newspost. It may of been acceptable worded differently with a bit more background and facts to back it up however.

HellBender Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Right before a mod closes the thread, can they post the news story? I'd like to read it (and since the post will be closed, no discussion on it :ninja:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
