My account was suspended...

[Bingo 324]

Hi,

 

I run the HackIt website which was at hackit.me.uk. However, my account seems to have been suspended. I don't see why as I have been active on my site and don't think I have overused any resources. I think I have stuck to the ToS, so why has my account been suspended?

 

URL: hackit.me.uk / hackit.heliohost.org

cPanel username: hackit

 

Thanks,

~Chris

Guessing because of the hacking cracking talk making them nervous to may talk about cracking programs to make keys.

What was your website about?

[Bingo 324]

My website was about hacking, as in hacking open PDA's to replace the battery. My intention was to have a site that would be helpful to people. I would not have posted cracking programs to make keys as c2s suggested, but I appreciate his/her concern. I would greatly appreciate it if my site was reactivated because I do not have any illegal or malicious intent. I guarantee this.

 

Thanks,

~Chris

[shaBUMP] Is anyone coming to this thread?

 

I would greatly appreciate having my files back, if only I knew why I got suspended...

 

Does anyone know why I got suspended?

How many cronjobs did you run a day?

[Bingo 324]

None. I didn't set any cronjobs on my account - I did run Drupal but didn't assign that a cronjob - I used a Drupal plugin called Poormanscron which runs an internal Drupal cron script which shouldn't have put much load on the server - it's only a page load.

I can't say for sure this is why your account got suspended but more than likely.

 

poormanscron is made more reliable by increasing traffic, which causes even greater system load with the cron test running after every page.

Can I do anything to get my account back? I will promise to disable Poormanscron if I can get my account back.

 

@admins: pwease?

[McBump] Hello? I think this topic died...

 

I'm more than happy to remove the offending Drupal module Poormanscron, but I just need access to my site to do so. I swear blind I will follow the ToS after that. Just give me three days or something to save HackIt. Please?

[Wizard]

djbob isn't around to fix this. I would start saving content.

[Bingo 324]

Sadly, all my content is online with no backups - I use Drupal...

[Wizard]

Drupal has a backup feature, IIRC.

[Bingo 324]

Yes, but I have no backups... I can't access my site to make a backup due to suspension.

[Bingo 324]

For some reason, my site came back online.

 

I have disabled the Poormanscron module and it should no longer cause any problems.

 

If anyone needs to contact me please do so.

 

Thanks,

~Chris
