m.i.t.m. FORUM is down

[scottishlass]

EZBOARD was hacked on Tuesday morning and so they lost all data pertaining almost all forums, including man.in.the.mirror.
If any of the posters read this, please do not post in our *nekkid* forum as all most recent posts will be deleted when and if they find out backup and put that on again. Unfortunately, their latest backup is of May 9th. So a lot of stuff has been lost. Anyone copying and saving some of the threads? The Round Robin? The writer's quests? The challenges? The member info? Anything else?
I'm looking into another way to provide a forum, installed on our server but I have to see what exactly is needed to install something like that.

Ack, that sucks so bad. Well, talk about a clean slate. We'll just have to start again it looks like. Although I think Joey has been saving the round robin, I'm not sure how recently she's saved up to. I think everyone understands the situation, and won't mind waiting until Ezboard gets its game together again.

Anyway, totally agree with your latest rant btw. You tell 'em.

If ezboard would get their act together I wouldn't mind waiting till our board is back up .. but they say they can't restore everything as their last viable backup is of May 9th.
A very strange policy, if you ask me to store the back-up of the boards on the same servers as the boards themselves so they are all accounted for when and if it will be hacked.

Hope you like the new forum :)

I'm a member of a few other forums that have been screwed around by Ezboard. In fact all forums i've been a member of, without exception, have changed from Ezboard to another server. I get the feeling that they really have no idea what they're doing.

Anyway, I think you made a great decision, and of course I like the new forum.
