Exploit in phpBB2 -- upgrade, upgrade, upgrade

This goes for anybody who is using phpBB2 to run a forum. You need to upgrade to the latest version: phpBB 2.011 -- NOW!!! There is a serious security flaw in earlier versions.

They have a patch file, as well as a full install you can download.

I'm not sure if the "patch" can be applied to a pn/phpBB hybrid like you've got going on here on Comixpedia, but there is a way to at least close the most important security hole in phpBB2 by changing one line of code.

Here's the info on how to plug the hole without using the actual patch:

Here's where to get the patch, if that'll work for your installation:

Web Comic Aggregators

Are there any Web Comic Aggergators other then Comictastic? I know some comics take advantage of RSS feeds, but I was wondering if there were any webcomic specific aggregators.

gay webcomics?

I was at the Gay Pride Parade in Manhattan on Sunday, and somewhere between the Venezuelan drag queens and the Log Cabin Republicans, I got to thinking: where are the gay webcomics? I read about a dozen strips regularly, and aside from Young Bottoms in Love (currently on hiatus, at http://www.popimage.com) none of them have gay characters.

So when I got home, I plugged “gay webcomics” into a search engine. And lo, a huge list appeared! But the first four I visited were uniformly horrible. Bad writing, bad art, poor web design… just bad.

So I’m looking for some guidance – what’s good and gay? Is there a gay spy comic out there? Are there gay people doing journal comics? (aside from me, that is http://www.billroundy.com/daily32.html)
What do you recommend?
