    Default Hacked

    Sorry, the "Russians-selling-Viagra" website hacked Back Alley and nearly TKO'd us.

    Little did they know we used the old rope-a-dope and got back up! (and thank God for backups!)



    There's still some tweaking to do and I'll work on that. I see the chat box is gone and some colors are off...

    what users should do:

    reset your passwords if you haven't already
    empty out your cache for for browser. I use a program called CCleaner which cleans everything.
    if you notice something not working let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.

    Ya done good, Steve-O!

    I'm VERY happy to have the site back up and functioning. Hell, they were even discussing Back Alley's problems over at The Blackboard, but in a supportive and friendly way. These two sites for we Noir fans are great places to visit at least once every day, and I certainly do!

    The redirect is a sinister highjacking From Russia With Love.

    Thanks for the cleaner tips. It works great. My machines are spic and span.

    Thanks for your hard work in getting the site fixed and up and running! At first I didn't know WHERE that Canadian maple leaf with the Russian domain tab came from on my computer-until I couldn't find my BAN tab and came here from google.
