| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

|  Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible
I reserve the right to find this funny and worthy of being posted in this forum rather than in General Discussion.
For those not aware, in the sysadmin field of work, it is assumed to be common sense to re-install the OS upon any breach of security regardless of how "minor" the effect is percieved to be because... and to quote the fine article... Quote: |
If it doesn't crash your system or cause your system to freeze, how do you know it's there? The answer is you just don't know.
| *looks at his watch*
What year is it? 2006... right...
Anyways, there's lots of sound information in that article. Well worth the read!

OneST8: That link points to this post, not an article.

| RE: Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible
Which is why I am pushing *HARD* for Wyse terminals and terminal services. I want to lock the user down so tight, they can see the pages I (we) authorize, and get the email I (we) have passed. I had a CS lady, who is great with the customers, Take this phone call..Keep in mind, I am standing at the desk next to her, hooking up a new printer. *RING**
"Susan speaking...Yes, we have a network.....Um, Office 2003, I think. (Keep in mind, I am standing RIGHT THERE.) Oh of course, it's SUser. S-U-S-E-R and the password is "bubblegum"...B-U-B-B-L-E-G-U-M. You're welcome.
The call was over in 10 seconds. I asked who that was...She answers, "It was the IT department."
I stare at her.
She asks "What?"
I continue to stare at her.
She asks "Not the IT department?
I reply, "Susan, I am standing right here. Let me ask you this: A) Why would I ask you what Office package we use, B) why would I ask for your password and C) We only have 5 peple in the IT department. Me, Debbie, Bryan, Thomas and Tom. Which one of us was that?
She starts to look uncomfortable.
We changed her password right there. Just for good measure, I changed all the other CSR passwords at the same time.
