I'm missing a couple of posts and likes. It looks like the forums are rolled back to yesterday.

Something get corrupted?

Said I was banned too. I opened a private browsing session where I wasn't even logged in. It looked like I had the option to ban people while I wasn't even logged in.

Mine said I want able to view anything. Later it had an unscheduled maintenance note.

Then I had to re-login and update my password.

What the hell.. posts after ~11pm from last night -- my time zone -- are gone. I said something about facial abuse. Who will hear that joke in context now?

If we're going to lose posts, could we at least lose the ones that forever preclude us from running for public office?

I saw that Mayne was banned but I didn't see an option to unban him. I guess if I had logged out I would have seen that.

Yeah think they got hacked, some exploit seems to have given the "guest" account ban access. At least that's my guess.

Now question is, is the exploit fixed, and should we change our passwords, or wait.

Good news is we know the backups work. :p

Heh, yeah, I saw a ton of spam in the New Posts area and it said there were ~350,000 members on the forums.

You mean like the one where we were betting on how many people would die and be injured on Black Friday? I don't want to live in a country that doesn't think highly of betting on the misfortune of others.
