trapexit.org hacked and shutdown

[Ernie Makris]

I used trapexit forums every week. The search feature was very fast and
useful. Please bring them back!
Also, try running a newer version of the bb software, and definitely run
mod_security in front. It should eliminate most hack attempts. If you
need help, let me know.

Thanks
Ernie
