Or an exploit in the forum software, as the case most often is.

Yes it would. It looks like all is not lost though.

Anyone have Nate's contact info? I PM'd him late last night, and I dunno if he got it.

Yes, when the leadership of each faction tries to log on to TFNN to post their views, they'll see the warning that one bold young hacker has put up there, at great risk to himself, and realize what a futile struggle it has been. The borders will collapse, the walls will be torn down, and soldiers who were formerly enemies will embrace as brothers. It brings a tear to my eye...

But no, the admins are going to fix it:roll:

OK, so I see I'm not the first or the 21st to notice this. Just when i feel like posting something a bit too "honest" for AT...my fricking outlet gets hacked.

And yes; I'm strongly considering "Stopping The Warring NoW!" Not. /middle finger for the mideast hackers

I can view the index page now, so it probably will be back up shortly.

Can't login or view the boards, yet, tho.

Even if the forums database was corrupted by the hackers (I doubt it), Wally could go to his host and ask for last night's backup so only a little bit of data would be lost.
