About the hack... my two cents.

[YarisBueller]

I've offered every vendor a full refund of their most recent payments, so if they are upset well they get all their money back. I honestly don't need the vendors, they pay a very small proportion of the costs in time and money that this place takes on and I might simply shut down the vendors area all together depending on how they want to procede. So far 2 of the vendors have gotten back to me and are supportive, I'll feel out how the rest of them want to do. But I can say they received what they paid for in the past and this hack basicly affects their most recent payment obviously for which I will refund each and every one of them 100% of their money (incase any vendors out there haven't gotten my email). I'm not out to screw anyone and am working my best to set things right here, we've all lost alot because of this problem myself included. A tremendous amount of work by each and every member, each and every moderator and each and every admin has been completly lost, the best we can do at this moment is fix things IMO.

Let me just add that we want to keep the vendors if we can. I have only purchased parts from vendors here (with the exception of an RS replica spoiler off ebay) and have spent a little over $1000 with them.

Just asking the vendors to reconsider if they are planning on leaving.
