    Announcement: ChopCountry Website Issues Status Statement

    Good Morning Chop Country Subscribers,


    I wanted to give an update regarding issues with the forum misbehaving.

    Approximately 3 months ago, our Chop Country was hit with an apparent hacker terrorist attack. Some keyboards were silenced in an attempt to alter and change our way of posting. One poster in particular, was targeted specifically due to his role and powers here at Chop Country. That user, Metaphysicist, was the main victim in a master-minded plot to undermine our freedoms of fandom. His account and password were compromised. Some of you have brought to the attention the site's functionality being dragged down by high CPU usage and potential bitmining exploits. While our staff here may have seemed to be slow to attack this issue, I want to reassure the good folks here at Chop Country that drastic measures were taken for days, almost weeks to ensure the security and stability of the Republic. This attacker, whom was exposed as none other than William Shanks himself, sought to harm and attack our values, freedoms, and liberties that we enjoy here. His goal was to disrupt, cause chaos, and force a migration of posters back to the desolate wastelands of the Scout Inc. forums. His main objective, was to achieve financial sustainability by installing bitcoin mining malware to support his own personal agenda and forum, while dividing our way of life of posting here. Thanks to the brave and courageous staff, who worked tirelessly day and night to protect us from these threats, we were able to neutralize the threat. No more extra tabs opening. No more high CPU usage. Faster browsing experience. Tonight, I can report to the posting populace here, that the Staff of Chop Country conducted an operation that killed the bitmining spyware, and its leader of The Braves Show.

    At this time, a more thorough investigation is underway to determine how our security protocols were breached, and to ensure an attack like this does not ever happen again. Also at this time, our staff will not be fielding questions on these security breaches. Just know, that I can assure everyone here, that the monetary and financial contributions and subscriptions have not, in any way shape or form been jeopardized or compromised. That was our highest priority when this crisis began, to ensure that business remained open for our loyal paying customers here.

    Thank You. Good Night. God Bless You. And God Bless, the Chop Country of Atlanta.
    Forever Fredi

    Is there an avenue for obtaining financial compensation from Shanks? I hope so because of all the time, effort and trouble caused. The staff of Chop Country needs to applauded for their efforts and quick response.

    A sincere THANK YOU to all of you.

    Does this mean the site will stop randomly opening new tabs for me when I click on some threads or forums?

    Shanks has lost a lot of weight. So I would rule that out. I smell dead Russians.

    Yeah I'm actually curious about this too. If Bill Shanks hacked this website, rewrote code, and installed bitmining malware to make money then this is the weirdest thing I have experienced in a long time lol.

    Shanks doesn't even know how to upload a Podcast to iTunes. How the **** is he going to corrupt HTML code to install a Bitcoin trojan? lol

    Thanks SAV! Because of you now I can argue Nick Markakis' launch profile instead of doing actual work today.

    So what you're saying is that you created a flash narrative to hide the fact you used us for coin mining?
