Hmmm This thread is a reminder why I don't spend much time here any more. 🙁

I just found out that the forums were hacked. Tim and I were awake at 1:30 this morning, so a call would have been fine. I know Stu has our number and RossMAN used to as well as a few other memebers.

As for GigglyGrinch, you can blame ViperGTS for that one. He's the one that dubbed me that. 😛

I'm still trying to catch up at my forums to find out exactly what happened.

And yes, I used to live in California. I moved to Virginia last year to be with my now fiance.


well it's not like it's a mission critical website or something,
i wouldnt deal with stuff like that at 2am...

You wouldn't want to know if your forums got hacked and possibly all information lost? That may not be a big deal to you, but I'd like to know that all the hard work by all my admins and members hadn't been lost.

I've got dual redundant backups on every server I run and every decent hosting company will have the same. I woudn't trade sleep over a personal website, especially since i gotta get up at 7 😉

Do Tim or Stu do semi-regular backups?

Just login to cPanel, click backup and do a full backup.

If you have a broadband connection it should only take about 10 minutes.

AFAIK they do. I'll do it too, though. 🙂

Please do. You can never be too careful, I would hate for all of your hard work (esp Stu) to go down the drain if something were to happen to the web server, etc.

Come back and bring us some much needed civility and class! If all the good folks leave, all that will be left is the assholes. 🙁

I didn't realize how emotianally attached everyone is to that forum.

Well DUH, they're MY forums. 😛 😉

I don't really plan on leaving AT for good. If it wasn't for AT, I wouldn't have met my fiance....or a lot of good friends that I have. But, I certainly don't spend as much time here as I used to.
 
BAHAHAHAHAH

all you elite and lifers are getting your panties in a bind because your virtual girlfriend got her board hacked and people are making fun of it.

BHAHAHA

WTF are you talking about? Virtual girlfriend? Maybe that's the closest you'll ever get to a female, but these people are my friends. Maybe that's something you have yet to experience. Who knows.

Go make fun of someone else, Cattlegod. hzl_eyed_grl is NOT someone to mess with. Between her and her rather large mesh of friends across the nation (myself included), you'll do nothing in this thread besides embarass yourself and anger others.
