Going on my past experience.  I ran a site with PHP-Nuke, which Post 
Nuke is based on and it got done over by a script kiddie.  So the 
easiest point of entry would've been via that... so logically speaking 
the easiest point of penetration is generally the most likely place.

Yes, sticking with something is the hard part.  Myself and two others 
have been running games servers in our own personal time for over 3 
years now.....  there is all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes 
that no one knows you do, all the times when you do it all and still 
only hear whinging and critical comments (particularly in the online 
gaming scene).  It sometimes seems like you do it all for nothing... but 
when it stops for some reason, everyone suddenly realises that you were 
doing a lot behind the scenes.

Sorry, that comment was directed at the poster of the original message I 
was replying to... I should've structured my email better to show that.

Rest of my reply taken off-list.
