The brashness could be due to the recent security breech when they got hacked, or they could be hiding something

exactly they wouldn't say do not repeat it if there was no way in, so here must be, they are hiding something

I wouldn't bet on that.
http://www.orbiconcorp.com/images/ says the same thing. It's just because you try to load up the index page to see what is in that directory. In other words: it's the default error page for unauthorized index page access attempts

The existence of the docs directory is known since this file appeared: http://www.orbiconcorp.com/docs/creditcardapp.pdf

The strong word usage is definatly NOT a reaction to the recent hack. Rather, I stumbled across the message via /images several days before the hack. Mentioned it in the chart room, but never felt it deserved a post.

Yeah, it's a pretty standard 403 error message. When I worked as a web programmer I regularly wrote similar messages. The "Should not be repeated" bit is there to assure users that there really is no way for them to access the page, and any repeated attempts are just going to be a waste of their time, and also of server resources.

Those messages have been there since the site was discovered, so I wouldn't read too much into them.

Yeah and then reading through all the rules of the Orbitalcolony.com rulebook it says if someone gets into them and post it in here then they may stop the game, it just seemed strange, also, a little off topic has anyone else been bugged by the coin with the angled panel on it
