When it comes to the upgrade thing, dont flip man.
It's not just LTS who's being told to upgrade, all team members ensure that all communities that we visit and request support are running the latest version. We'll support you if you don't, but it makes our lives easier knowing that you are because the latest version is the version we support most. I have even offered to do the upgrade myself, for free without a Charter Membership which is usually a requirement for me to do that.
but not only does almost everyone on this forum have a job that is not entirely based around computers, but if a hacker wanted to, he could wipe everything out if he tried hard.
Of course, if a hacker did want to, he could probably go a few levels higher and completely trash the server entirely if it was poorly configured. I'm not arguing with that.
In all honesty, you cant tell me that the new version 1...2 (big leap there man) is probably just as vulnerable as any other version of any other form of programming on any type of system on any forum out there.
Sure. There probably are still exploits somewhere, and if you find them file a
security report, but they're not known to the dev's so you're pretty darn secure if SMF ever is the problem, or a jackass manages to hack 200 websites all running RC3, as that is generally how they work (not one at a time like you seem to believe)
if you know what you are doing anyone can manipulate ones and zeros and turn the whole world into a steaming pile of dirt. I really find it hard to believe that the new version (no matter the number {ones and zeros, ones and zeros}) will be hacker proof.
I don't recall saying that it was hacker proof.
