Sep 2006

Aug 2006
FA hacked once again - Verix discovers an oversight in FA's Apache configuration that allows running arbitrary PHP code on the server. He acquires most of FA's source code.
Jun 2006
FA announces the development of Ferrox (later referred to as "v2"), a rewrite of the FA software from scratch, with a closed beta coming soon.
The effort was quietly forgotten. The code never saw the light of day, but it appears Alkora (the original FA developer) was the sole developer, and presumably the project was written in PHP. FA's $1,500 server, purchased about half a year prior, goes online. FA hacked again - A user known as Arcturus makes use of an unknown exploit. FA is locked down, but there is no permanent damage done.
Full-text search of FA artwork is disabled during this period, originally "temporarily" due to a lack of resources. It's promised to make a comeback in Ferrox, but later added back to current FA in Feb 2009, nearly 3 years later.
