Here's a general note in order to keep you all informed:

A hosting service informed me last week that a company (Hengtong to be exact) based in China intends to register the term "santharia" as internet keyword and the CN domain names .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn. No idea what exactly they want to do with these domains, but they were informed that santharia.com is not for sale and I don't really have a problem if they have these domains. Maybe if they become very popular and people search for the term they arrive at our site and we get thousands of Chinese contributers... lol

Anyway, just to let you know in case you search for the term at some point and suddenly strange Chinese sites pop up...

To keep you informed: The Chinese company apparently extends their registrations of their "Santharian" sites to:

 santharia.asia   
 santharia.cn   
 santharia.com.cn   
 santharia.com.tw   
 santharia.hk   
 santharia.net.cn   
 santharia.org.cn   
 santharia.tw   

 huh

I don't like this.

We had the discussion already some time ago. I don't remember to what conclusion we came (it's too expensive?) Is Santharia (the name) protected somehow?

No, name is not protected, not that I know of. At least I didn't protect it and don't really plan to as I pay for domain and webspace already. But names are smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned. Those interested in the site would also find it if it were called santhariandream.com or something else. Not that I hope something like this would happen, but still.

Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.

It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.

Arti, could you maybe take a look at the RPG board? I got a message from my anti-virus program and now I can't access the column on the right with the list of current threads and the shoutbox. Thankies :)

Artimidooor.. could you please add the Northern Sarvonian Tribe's map to the map menu? As you know, my mouse over does not work :( I could't find it right now, though I know it does exist somewhere.
