Oh, it's a bit better than that. Our 'legacy' product line is C++/MFC and maintained faithfully using Visual Studio .NET (2003). Our current product line is being developed with Visual Studio 2008.
Sadly, we still use Visual SourceSafe... we're not up with the cool kids and using git  .

See the way to a hash before an evil goblin concealed itself with a depleted sack (11)
You're lucky (or perhaps not) that I remembered to do this, just flicking through my notepad for something and noticed the clue I'd written down yesterday.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Orchiectomy?
Having some trouble explaining it all though...
goblin - orc
concealed itself - hid?
Unless you meant orchidectomy but that would be 12 letters.

You're on the right lines, but no.

Correct.
Thank the lord for that, your turn tomorrow.

OK - even with the answer I can't work out how you got there from the clue!
Explain for us thickies?

See the way to a hash- crypt is a C function to produce a password hash
evil goblin - orc
concealed itself - hid
cryptorchid - an animal with one or both testes absent from the scrotum - a depleted sack
I wasn't sure about the crypt bit, but I liked that it was computery so chucked it in anyway.

Blimey! Now I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or annoyed.
a C function, indeed!

I have a small job on and I'm not too sure how to proceed, but as this is a concept/idea/WTF type thing I decided to throw it in the bear/beer* pit and see what happens.
A small chiridy I am involved with are having some issues with their web-site and the guy who built it for them. The whole things is built on Wordpress 3.8.5 and as it stands there are two sites - one English and one Hungarian. The domains are due to expire in February and one of the trustees checked up on everything last month to find out the domains where registered to the guy who set up the sites. This has since been rectified. They have decided not to renew the contract with the developer and have asked for admin rights, these have mostly been provided for the English site, but not the Hungarian one.
Now I get to my query. Is there any way we can go to the hosting company and get full control and if so what approach would be recommended? It is my intention to help them out and get full control. Once we get control, then there will be some re-writing to be done and that, trust me, will not use Wordpress.
Any other ideas on what I should be looking for would be greatly appreciated.

I'd think that you should be able to contact them to arrange a transfer of the hosted site - however, you'd probably need some arrangement with the guy who set it up (i.e. he'd need to be able and willing to confirm the transfer).
Obviously the hosting company wouldn't be able to transfer the site just on a single request - you could (for example) be a customer who had payments outstanding to the developer, so the hosting company would want to protect themselves from that.
The other way (possibly cheaper and easier, depending on the site) would be to set up a copy of the site and update the DNS.

That looks unlikely as, to use a technical term, he's being a shitard. The domain is safe, so we may need to just move the hosting and reimplement a dodgy site.
Guess who needs to build a web site in 7 days?
