He's not really much pf a friend, seeing as he's going to incredible lengths to hack my site, which I am very proud of. He has his own site (which in my opinion is somewhat crappy) and thinks it's the best, and he thinks that my site sucks, and his site should be as popular as Google. Not that much, but like that.

He even set up a poll asking who wants to participate in a prank (hack) against PGReviews!

I really just need some easy way to make him get off my back and let me be, as well as stop bugging me.

I know this isn't a 'talk about your feelings' forum, sorry. Don't know where else to post that has to do with this sort of thing.

Can anyone help?

ANY help would be MUCH appreciated!! I don't know what to do!

For your site learn more about security so you can stop whatever he's trying to do.

However to get him to stop trying, your best bet is really to ignore him. He'll continue as long as he thinks it bothers you. Once he sees it doesn't he'll stop and move on to something else. That's the usual pattern.

The more attention you give him the more he's going to continue.

But if he's truly breaking into your site and defacing it in some way learn how he's doing it so you can prevent it from happening again.

haha, vangogh said it great. Ignore him and he will get bored of trying. If he actually does succeed with defacing your site. You learn how he did it and then you patch it. Normally you have to pay money to get people to hack your site and he's doing it for free... now who's the sucker?
