tt.NET hit by botnet attack - August 11, 2008 01:04 PM
***** READ THIS *****
At some point over the weekend we fell prey to a botnet attack named asprox that is pretty nasty. Anyone who attempted to open the Tech forum over the weekend since we were infected may have themselves been infected with this malware.
You can also google asprox for additional information. We are taking steps to make sure that we do not get infected again.
Thanks,
Greg

Happy 10th Anniversary TwinTurbo.NET! - June 04, 2008 10:43 PM
Wanted to put this in the NEWs for the archive as well as have posted it in the General Forum yesterday on the 3rd:
As far as things on the internet go, 10 year is forever. We never really thought about things this far out from 1998, but here we are close to 3.5 million posts about a car that's been out of production since before we got started.
Looking forward now, we're working on some changes to take the site into the next decade. Greg and I don't have time to do much more than manage the site anymore, so we have assembled a small team to tackle some expansions/changes to the site we've been wanting to implement for a bit.
As always we owe our success to you, our membership for keeping things active and interesting around here and our sponsors for helping keep the power on and the bits flowing.
Thank you all for making it what it is and what it will be!
Happy 10th Anniversary TwinTurbo.NET!!

THANKS to all of you for creating the community that we all share. We just created some code and launched the site, but you guys have given it life (life I'd like to smack sometimes.. but I digress. :)
It really doesn't seem like it's been 10 years ago that I first met Damon at a dyno day. I'd had my NA for a couple of years and hadn't interacted with any other Z people at that point. He took me for a ride in the Green Queen and I just about peed my pants. I bought a POP charger that day and never looked back, lol.
I don't get to spend much time on the site any more, even during the 10th anniversary as today is my 8th wedding anniversary (yes, I don't mention tt.NET to my wife today), our son turned 1 last week and our daughter turns 4 tomorrow, so it's just a big celebration right now!
We do have some things in the works... don't we always.. and if I can wrangle a bit more time we'll get it all out there and going. Thanks for sticking with us for 10 great years. It will be interesting to see what the next 10 bring us... hell our cars will officially be classics by then!
