Ah! Now I see it
Forums messages destroyed.
-
I recently discovered that the forums were hacked. Unfortunately all of the messages were lost. However, the good news is that none of the valid usernames were affected. You can still log in and post messages.
Within the next few days I will restore all of the forums.
For the future I will work on some sort of backup and recovery mechanism. I also plan on writing my own message board so that I know all of the ins and outs of the sytem. However, I think this may be a limitation of php and not the message board software. If there are any php gurus out there send me an email.
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the mess.

Yup, all of the posts were destroyed. :sad:

It was definitely a limitation of the software, not of php, take a look at securityfocus, they’ve been talking about various security holes in message board software on bugtraq for the past couple of weeks.
