I feel horrible about this but what do you want me to do at this point? I didn't ask for this, I never did anything to piss anyone off. Someone very malicious and vicious came and attacked the forum and I've been working for more hours then I can count to bring things back as best as possible. Sure I wish I had daily backups. Sure I wish we had a 24 hour onsite server maintainance company to watch things for us and keep the hackers out. But the fact is that I'm one person who is trying to run the site in conjuction with an amazing moderator team and amazing site membership. This place is a homegrown effort for sure. I'm frustrated and I want to snap quite a few necks right now, but the only thing I can actually do and have an effect on is to get things back up to par. I haven't even spent that much time trying to trace the hacker as I have been in just setting things right. At this point retribution is much less important than getting the ship floating and sailing straight again. Take my word for it, its alot of work and I might be moving the server completly today as right now we are leasing the space and since i'm dropping some more money on daily backups I might as well spend some on a new server... theres alot on my plate right now and i'm doing what I can to fix things and i'm sorry I didnt do everything I probably should of but please remember this is a complete donation of my time and money; i've never asked for anything from anyone and never will. Sorry i'm rambling right now. Ok, keep the PMs with suggestions coming i'm implementing things as they come in so if you've ever wanted something, nows the time to ask :)
