Thanks for doing a great job running the board Leon. Not sure what Bruteforce is, as I am not enet savy. Did they go after other chat boards, on the same platform to? Keep up the good work.

I am aware the site just went down for a few minutes. Sorry once again. This was a Windows SVR 2008 issue. Another upgrade we are doing asap.....

Oh Yeah...he picks up the phone and I say hello...he says Hi Leon....yeah, they know me.

Concerning the major attachment loss that has happened including our whole community photo album, the hosting company is doing a restore from 24 hours before these problems started. All of this is being done with the offline backups they keep. I had to pick a time and that was the least loss....and it isn't for sure either. The files could be majorly corrupted beyond repair. I have a DBA person that might be able to help some too. We really need to get squared away before we upgrade. More updates as I know them. And to reiterate, any downtime will be scheduled at very off hours. And hopefully our next downtime is scheduled. I wouldn't bet on it though.,

I'm confused why someone would want to send an attack on your site. We are all cardboard nerds. What's the point?
