What's the problem? You have his IP, so BAN him!

Then make sure you password complies with the standards in Typlo's FAQ on security of the forum and don't worry about it. We just went through all this nonsense a few days ago.

Alright, thanks, i appreciate it, i'm just worried because i have alot of stuff on my website, and if it goes down it's going to be bad.

Can i just ask how you know hes a hacker?
You could be accusing someone and they may not be

I have to agree with Saurus on this issue ifzombie. If you have the members IP address you can ban him immediately and then he can't Hack as you say anything, correct? I suggest you do that.
Alot of members fear hackers coming onto thier forums. But what most are unaware of is it is unlikely any person can gain access to your forum if you have a strong Admin password ,and do not ever share that information with anyone. Forumotion forums have a restore tool for forum Admin's to use in a case where something of this nature does happen here. I assure you, your forum is safe, you just do your part in keeping such threatening members off your forum, and never give out your admin password and I'm sure your forum will be fine.

Thank you Nessa, and kylesmummy06, he told me himself that he was a hacker, he said "I'm part of one of the biggest hacking sites in the world" and "You call this a website? I could hack you guys in a second", things like that, for safety reasons, i think that banning hiim was the safest thing to do.
