Down and Out

The Cluckbucket is under attack! OK, this is really sad to have to report, but apparently someone has created a malicious spider that is crawling the web and submitting content to our Internet Hot Wing Database. For the past couple of weeks we have been recieving tons of restaurant reviews that weren't reviews but were promotions and links to porn, gambling, and other fun sites of that nature...

So, it sucks, but I've had to take down the ability to submit wing restaurant reviews for the time being and have locked the database down to view only. It's a shame that the work of a few can spoil the fun of thousands but that's the deal until I can find someone technical enough to help me out...

Will post again when things are back up and running!

Peace, love, and grease!

Did the Wingstop reviews for Portland get lost in the hack? I was looking for their address and didn't see them on cluckbucket.com anymore. I did see them here, so got the address, but just wondered. I actually like them better than FoTM, so would like to see them be able to stay open! Thanks for all your hard work--sorry the jerks got your site.

Yeah, we basically lost all the data that had been submitted over the past year. We'd love it if you would do a new review once we have the database form back up and running. I will post a note on the forum and send out an email to the newsletter distribution list once that time has come, if you aren't subscribed yet, you can sign up here: http://www.cluckbucket.com/wing/newsletter.htm

Thanks for your patience and support.

Peace, love, and grease!
