<![CDATA[Post4VPS Forum | Free VPS Provider - Announcements]]> https://post4vps.com/ Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:01:00 +0000 MyBB <![CDATA[End of Post4VPS - July 2021]]> https://post4vps.com/Thread-End-of-Post4VPS-July-2021 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 21:51:00 +0000 Dynamo]]> https://post4vps.com/Thread-End-of-Post4VPS-July-2021
This has been a very difficult decision to make.  Post4VPS has been around for 70 Giveaways and during the course of all this time, we have bonded into a great community.  When post4vps.com was first created in August 2015 I was very proud of the achievement.  I never thought it would turn out as successful as it had at the time.  Especially in the beginning, the Forum was very active with many active sponsors as well.

Unfortunately, times have changed for hosting forums as everyone is well aware off.  I was planning to continue for a little while longer with our new-look theme.  However, during the process of being much closer to all of the files, I made a shocking discovery that our Forum had been compromised as far back as before February 2018.  I discovered an exploit with the dbkiss.php  that didn't belong. Then more files as I was searching deeper. This has been a great and most unacceptable shock to me as of course how can our members have trust in the Forum now? How can I have trust in the Forum ever again.  The Forum has been irretrievably compromised.  I've learned that even if we were to clean up the files that look like exploit files, we'll never really know whether the Forum will be clean again.  Also if we should restart the Forum database clean and from scratch, with the few members we have presently it wouldn't justify the expense. 

I've therefore come to the most difficult decision to close the Forum with the effect of 1st of August.  VPS Holders will have until the 1st of August to empty their VPSs that will be handed back to the sponsors.
Also, New user registrations are disabled.


As far as immediate remedies are concerned.  We have completely and permanently deleted all of the VPS Requests with personal info in them.  We have also closed and disabled the Request Forum for now.  As well as changed all of the passwords where passwords have been used.  We strongly urge our members to do the same with their passwords for the Forum and VPS as long as you will still be using them.

To say that I'm sorry to end the Forum is a great understatement.  It is and was very important to me, and I so much looked forward to continuing with the new-look, and expanding the forum furthermore.  But unfortunately with the hacking that has been discovered, even with three years ago, I think the Forum has been compromised too much for us to be able to continue with it.

I would like to thank all our past and present sponsors for backing the forum. Also All Forum staff for keeping the forum so user friendly, specially for organizing the giveaways flawlessly and Lastly all the members for participating actively in the discussions, It means alot.

Please receive my humble appreciation for all of your support during the years.  I will certainly miss it very much.  I hope we won't lose touch and if you should have time to say hello, please feel welcome to find us at the Discord Forum.

However there are a few members who are abusing the Hobbies Forum, particularly in threads like the ones below:

TV Shows You Watch These Days

What are you listening to right now?

Anime Mega Thread

The Last Movie You Watched

Documentary Recommendations

And more

From now on we are going to be strict with the implementation of the Forum Rules in the Hobbies Section, and particularly the above threads.  Posts that don't conform with the Forum Rules will be immediately deleted.  Even if they are made on the very last day and in the last hours of the month.

Please note posts in the hobby section are credited with points and as such MUST conform with the Forum Posts rules like in any other Forum.  One-liner posts are not allowed.  One-liner posts with lots of copy-paste material in quote tags are considered copy paste spam posts and will also be deleted.

One of the threads that are most abused is the "what you are listening to" thread.  You need to tell us what you're listening to in your own words.  There has to be some discussion that is more than one line.  Otherwise you shouldn't be receiving credit for the post and the post will need to be deleted.

With the last movie you watched thread please don't quote materials from another Website.  Rather use links.  We want to know what the movie is about, whether you liked it, whether you recommend it.  ALL in your own words.  Copy paste will definitely not do, as copy paste is not in your own words. Copy paste posts are treated as spam and will be deleted as such.

Please don't make posts in the same sub-forum on consecutive days in the same thread.  Especially not in the hobbies forum.  Depending on the quality content of those posts, there is a good chance that one of the posts will be deleted.]]>
