Welcome back to the internet.

you can thank Slackmaster for us being back online - it's wierd isn't it - we got hit twicw yesterday - the first attack wiped three forums, the second attack wiped the whole site and replaced the front page.

the interesting thing is the number of guests. The admin panel shows that most of the guests were all from the same IP address which when I whoisit? comes back as this

They could have a proxy that the person was using. The guy DID hack your site, so why not a Microsoft server too?

It might have been EASIER for him to hack a MS server come to think of it!

John,

Ever since the crash I see four copies of everyones attachments. Is it just me? I'm using netscape 7.2 and safari on a Mac, OS-X (happens with both)

Yeah you're right...in the forums that were originally hosed.

I'll look and see if there's not an easy way for me to fix this.

Ok I think that's fixed...

Hey, I'm impressed - problem all gone.

BTW, I like your animation - but, isn't the idea to turn the suck knob down?

i think he's right, unless it's a sarcastic joke animation. Either way, wish i had thought of it!

There seems to be a lot of hacking going on at quite few home rec'ding sites.

I think it needs a little "11" in the lower right corner... ;-)
