quality

the inquirer used to be for me a role model and a reference.
it is now like a gossip magazine, posting trash without any truth or interest to the human race

i keep on coming here to see if things go back to what they were, I'm about tho give up... 

we have to raise the standarts here, for lies we have the tv already.

Not quite

Seems they just entered bullshot in the contest entry form and it were just defacing posts like so many forums have and not hacks at all, pathetic really, and now sites like the inq gave them attention too :/
Seems the only news item is that aussie MS thinks you don't have to moderate stuff.

Poor journalism

Perhaps time to get your facts right:

The site was not "hacked" and there was no "demonstration of Microsoft's software insecurities". A couple of children with too much time on their hands posted some garbage submissions. Microsoft responded by removing them. Nothing more. Nothing less.

This kind of thing happens on ten's of thousands of public forums every day.

Maybe I should go over to your forums and "hack them" for you - I could write a bunch of "hacked by xyz" comments - then maybe I'd be a "hacker" ?

(Oh yes, you might want to fix the scripting error at the top of your page too - you are losing valuable banner revenue!)..

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
