Re^6: Wat was the Architecture used in perlmonks

Ask yourself, if you were in charge of a military base would you publish the blueprints and engineers diagrams and specs on the bulletin-board outside? Of course you wouldn't.

I know secrecy may be good, or necessary. But we're not talking about the super-duper secret bomber plane here, merely a web-based bulletin-board :) Security IS important, sure. But it's only a website, it doesn't even runs a business after all (nobody will lose his job if PM is defaced, isn't it?)
Actually I don't really mind seeing the PM code or not. I just wanted to ~~throw some fuel into the usual flamewar~~ know :)

If the system were properly compromised they could use it as a stepping stone to other sites managed by our noble hosts which would almost certainly result in them terminating their fine support of our organization. And then where would we be? No, while we are all volunteers I think most of us active participants take our roles pretty seriously and we will never knowingly do anything to allow such a thing to occur. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]
