Well, a simple Googling of "Microsoft Sender 2013" essentially confirms that this is the result of a malicious hack.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

It seems to be a phishing tactic, nothing more. No idea if clicking the link itself results in nasty stuff, or if being dumb enough to send a message through it causes the problems. Hopefully the latter.

A couple of month ago, one (or more) hateful guy(s) began to report MEGA links from a lot of users (and I was one of the first victim), but after that, most of them decided to continue to share despite this fact using their PM box to share their links, and this new business did certainly not please this (those) evil person(s), who find the way to strike where he (they) didn't interact before (in the PM boxes) using this hacking technic to take down also this option (some psychopaths didn't care to use the extreme).

Many others and myself are convinced that a big part of those annoying incidents (or acts of felony, instead) are the works of a small crew of users (with a main leader), which for some reasons have decided to set a bloody mess here (maybe just for jealousy or some kind of revenge).
To be honest I have my own idea about what might have happened and who are the potential offender(s) (and I repeat, this is not just my own view), but for now I can't quote his (their) pseudo(s) without further concrete evidences.

It is relatively unimportant, since visitor messages should suffice for more pedestrian conversations.
Those film score fans who rely on the PM function to trade recording sessions are probably fuming at the hack, but frankly if FFShrine is their only avenue of trade, they're new to the game anyway.
It's a shame this happened but there are worse features that could have been removed.
And I fully realize that this forum is like the black knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: its features being whittled away piece by piece, and still we insist that nothing is wrong... :laugh:

I've barely been around the Film section of this website, so i don't know very well if the "recording sessions" they share with each other are easy to find (what are they, anyway?), but some of the anime OSTs that i listen to have been shared here first...

I won't say who, but i will admit that one of the reasons why i use the PMing system is to ask for a digital copy of a rare anime OST that someone may happen to own. If i like it, then i'll buy a copy myself and share it here, but if it weren't for that function i don't know how else i would be able to know if the OST is worth getting :laugh:

Good for you. I've been on boards where the administrators disabled the private-messaging feature altogether and folks still found ways to set up more private "ways" to converse, or share with each other.

Plus, every single user can technically disable private messages through his/her own control panel. I'd wager there are more important features to take away from a community geared toward sharing, like the ability to create threads and/or posts, you can still do that, count yourself lucky, given the state of things.

Nobody wants to leave links on thread therefore still exists the possibility of take down. Maybe you're thinking about making threads only in general discussion section or using chat here. Maybe this is important option, i don't know, but tell me discussion with who? You thing about conversation with a boy who survived meningitis (ninja-turtles-whatever-member) or similar guys?

No problem. A board served as the official community to an Italian magazine mostly focused on PlayStation games, another originally started as a board used by friends playing FINAL FANTASY XI. Long story short: the best we had (when the Chatroom wasn't available/set up) were threads where folks willingly shared stuff like e-mail addresses, and/or MSN Messenger+Skype handles.

Potentially dangerous? Sure, but copies of private messages are also stored on the forum's database, nothing is safe once it ends on the Internet. Private messages aren't really private, someone both willing (and with the knowledge to do so) can snatch them and decrypt them..

Implying I'm responsible? Sure, let's roll with that. Too bad there's a little thing called IP address, I'm willing to bet they wouldn't match with the ones I usually have logged on this board. Besides, even if someone were to take control of my account, without me knowing of it, I wouldn't lose anything, aside from a source of wasted time and the occasional headache; if anything, I'd pity the person who would go to such extent simply to lay the blame on me.

Wanna know something, NumeroUno? I'm just humouring you, but last time we touched the subject of Film/TV's closure, Jessie (most likely the sole active administrator left) agreed with me that it should close... You are treading on thin ice, folks, that's the truth, and part of the userbase of Film/TV is to blame for it.

gone... Please, get a grip. I can tell you that around the time when I had just registered there used to be a thread at the top of Download Links advising users to not use MEGAUPLOAD to share stuff, why? Because links generated there were getting deleted fast. Try switching file-hosts, even picking unpopular ones, if you have to... Use services which upload to multiple file-hosts at the same time. The possibility of PM being gone for good isn't going to mark the end of anything, for those who seriously want to keep sharing.

If I did run things, that section would have been gone years ago, too much crap started there over the years. That said, I'm more than capable to set aside my disgust to moderate it, if me ending up moderating Video Game Music Download Links is anything to go by, at least.

You're not wrong, we had a few composers/copyright owners related to Video Game Music show up, too, but most of the biggest "threats" came from Film/TV.

@NumeroUno
Sparktank has been a fiasco all right, not sugarcoating it. As for me, well, if you had said that to the 13-14 years old LSK, you might have been right, but the Shrine nowadays is just one of the many ways I waste my time and not a particularly important one, despite what you think. Wouldn't gain, nor lose anything I deem important from its closure. I just screw around, one is pretty much forced to make his own entertainment around here. *shrug*

Point being, don't be a selfish asshole. The people at film music also like this forum, because they too, get here things that aren't anywhere else sometimes.

If you're talking about the recording sessions, then I don't think you understand that those were never meant to be released publicly in the first place...

Not recording sessions. We don't really get those anymore, with one day exception

So anyway, if we darent share links on the site because the host site might delete them, and we cant share them via PMs, and other functions are getting deactivated, etc, etc, it seems like someone is trying to tell us something.

I think where (most) of the incentive for desire of a complete score/recording session comes from is the very instance one realizes after they've gotten the official release, how that one cue (or couple, or even majority) is just completely absent or left out from that album. It's often a unsatisfying feeling when an album doesn't do the score justice, or some of the best music just isn't there.

But for a rather abstract example, seeing as how Michael Giacchino's score to Call of Duty was released only as an official soundtrack 'sampler', there was only seven minutes of the score left out, and most of the pieces you remember are present, and less-prominent ones omitted. That's how it should be done.

I am glad I am not the only one who is going through the hacked PM.

Its not really the end of the world. There's more ways to skin a cat I say.

I concur with lorddsp, "that FF is a "special" place on the net". Hey lorddsp, why do you say "it's a sad situation , the site is dying slowly :-/" What do you mean by this?

I think between us loyalists who want to share from our hearts, a pure share of our favorite music and all, there is a place like this to always be around.

Well, a simple Googling of "Microsoft Sender 2013" essentially confirms that this is the result of a malicious hack.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

It seems to be a phishing tactic, nothing more. No idea if clicking the link itself results in nasty stuff, or if being dumb enough to send a message through it causes the problems. Hopefully the latter.
I blame the Russians. What the hell, add Julian Assange, too. ;)

Nobody wants to leave links on thread therefore still exists the possibility of take down.

Exactly.

If all your (open) links are on MEGA, then they'll soon be history...
And you know that it's true. It's just a matter of time. :/

In any case, I hope that you'll be spared with such disappointment.

Only way to get your links up are to use other host such as 4shared (which tend to keep links alive since 2011 maybe) or having your own Google Drive/MEGA account and to add people on it. You will have your own online backup (respectively 15gb and 50gb free storage) for ur stuff AND you will be able to share them with other people easily.

G Drive is cheaper than MEGA (9-10$ usd monthly for 1TB) and also G Drive is 'Google' not MEGA which can be taken down any time. So yeah G Drive is probably the best option, thought from what i'v seen organization sucks on it but hey, main goal is to share stuff

I'm sure that there are people around who likes reporting links in TV/Movie section, i wouldn't be surprising considering how 'elitist' the place looks (links in PM, trades etc ..) that some people get mad and report links, since everyone use MEGA nowadays they will quickly be taken down
