HACKED - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

darthbauer · 10-18-2008, 11:31 PM

What really sucks is the DIY's that are lost. So many...

RagnaCaT · 10-18-2008, 11:33 PM

Hey at least my avatar reminds me how my cars was! Someone should die for this! but seeing all the old stuff is kind of cool!

YoyotaTaris · 10-18-2008, 11:33 PM

I find it a bit odd that the forum went a whole year without a backup? Most forums I have helped to moderate made backups daily to weekly depending on size.

I would just like to suggest to the admin that he should contact his host. The actual database of the forum (which is what has been lost) is stored separately on the server which only the owner of the server has access to. That owner might have made his own backups.

I am assuming this site doesnt run on a dedicated server since its relatively small.

I am really sorry to hear about the loss btw. This site helped me a lot with my Yaris last year. I will do what I can to contribute.

Regards.

This is disappointing how a lot of information is completely gone, but like you guys said, we will bounce back 2-fold. I'm sure YarisWorld will be better than ever now! Thank you YarisBueller for all your hard work on getting our website back up and running

Shroomster · 10-18-2008, 11:36 PM

hmm I might be mistaken but I think the fuel economy forum is gone..... BailOut where are youuuuuu?

Kaotic Lazagna · 10-18-2008, 11:37 PM

Wow, I got a message from my friend saying our (local) forum was hacked as well. Wth is wrong with these people!?

Lillydot · 10-18-2008, 11:37 PM

tuckevalastin · 10-18-2008, 11:44 PM

wow I'm a virgin here again... but to get rid of this noob feeling I'm posting this post.

Also there has been alot of mentioning that the site was really slowing down lately, this could be a pretty big nail in the coffin... hope not, but I dunno

If you've ban someone in the last 45-90 days, it would be wise to start looking at that former member.

Forrest · 10-18-2008, 11:47 PM

I never noticed the site slowing down so maybe it was the people's computers that were the problem.

enviri · 10-18-2008, 11:48 PM
