myFOXhoustonWebStaff's Blog

The myFOX blog and message board network was recently attacked by a few hackers who thought it might be fun to fill the space with vulgar language and spam. While they apparently haven't made it to myFOXhouston.com yet, our developers thought it would be best to take the boards down and increase modification on the blogs for the weekend as a precaution.

Throughout the weekend and until those responsible can be stopped, the myFOXhouston.com message boards will remain offline. You will also experience some delay in seeing your blog posts or comments appear as we closely monitor activity.

Please be patient with us and please let us know if you spot anything online that need to be removed. Report suspicious activity using the "Report This" button on any blog post or by e-mailing myfoxweb@fox26.com.

P.S. These hackers have resorted to filling the blog and message board space with hundreds of spam posts. They HAVE NOT obtained your e-mail addresses or log in information.

On a side note, we want everyone to have fun and feel comfortable blogging on myFOXhouston.com.  We'd hate to see any of our bloggers leave the community.

With that being said, if you see something on the blogs that you feel violates our Blogging Policy, which every blogger agreed to when signing up for a blog, please e-mail a link to the questionable material to myfoxweb@fox26.com.  By doing this, you are helping police the community and will ultimately help us "build a case" so-to-speak on why a blogger should be temporarily or permanently banned, if any action is to be taken at all.

Sometimes the best way to deal with a blogger you don't agree with is to completely ignore them, and police your own posts by deleting any comments from your blog that you don't like.

So everyone can be reminded of our Blogging Policy, please click here:
