We reinstalled the operating system and upgraded the forum software. We're currently rebuilding everything, so please be patient. Check the 'announcement' atop each forum for more info.
We found some baddies on the system (not the forum) that came in via the OpenX server - read the link, basically this was the one time updating hurt us - the OpenX ad server had a trojan backdoor in the v2.8.10 software download from Nov 2012 to Aug 2013. And we updated to that version. We had a little extra security on the admin folder in that app, but it was one of the standard plug-ins that was shipped to us with the trojan backdoor. Once that happens to a system, rebuild is the only sure option.
We took the site offline Sunday August 18 1pm and the forums were back up Sunday August 18 11pm.
Well, its a bad time to be temporarily down on functionality, but we'll take it as a good opportunity to get some heavy upgrading done. Please be patient as we restore your favorite functionality (and go beyond)!
