Learnbits.org hacked

It would be an ideal world if you could trust everyone that posted here and on other sites, but unfortunately, that is not the case, and in general, the more malicious the malefactor, the nicer he will appear to you until it is too late !

So you suggest ppl should only invite net-bullys and grunts?

Far from it, ownage.
What I am suggesting is invite only those you know, or research those you don't.
If someone asked me for an invite to a site, and I wasn't familiar with their nick, I'd ask them for the sites of which they were a member, and visit those of which I was a member, check on their ratio, etc., possibly PM them on that site to make sure it WAS the same person, then consider inviting them.
Depends also on the policy of the site to which the invites were being requested. Some sites like to remain very private, and have rules on who you invite, others are desperate for members and don't really care initially about quality as much as quantity.
Personally, I like to invite 'friends' and 'accquaintances' but if asked straight out by a stranger will check up on the person, and 9 times out of 10, provide them with the requested invite. I would expect people who are members on sites where I am staff, or of which I am a member, to be careful who they invite.
I am, of course, talking about the smaller or fairly private sites, where I feel privileged to be a member, such as Learnbits.org.......

hey could someone who already has an learnbits.org account invite me in...?

It would be better to let your 30 days of signing up complete so you can post in the Invite section and your post will be more noticable to fellow members

And can I add, gbabyliveson, that I wasn't rubbishing your request,
- I too have to wait my 30 days before being able to access that part of the site !

The rules say you cannot request or give invites....i guess the part where someone PM's you telling you some e-learning sites is ok....but the 'probably be quite glad to provide you with an invite' part wont do.

I just joined and it had 280+ torrent. They must have quickly restored the site.
I have not noticed any slowdowns or anything.

Never used the site since day one.
