If you've visted our site in the last week you may have noticed it was down. Not only was the site down, but also was the server. You guessed it from the title, we were hacked. We're still unsure of the initial point of entry, however, we have mitigated the attack and cleared as many loop holes we've found in the site. The one thing we are not entirely sure of is our database. We are still digging through it to ensure nothing was left there that shouldn't be there. Almost all of our plugins have been disabled and removed. A fresh and new mybb install has been conducted, as well as the theme replaced. In the next month you may see the site go down a few times as we mess around with the database. Unfortunately it's very difficult to migrate this database over to a new clean one with just the information we want transferred, so we had to keep the database and drop whatever tables we thought we for plugins.

With that said, there are some tables that are missing. If you find an error in the site, please report it in a private message to myself and I'll add that table. We do have a standard mybb database on hand that has all the default files and have been adding tables as we go along.

On this note...we can no longer trust your passwords and have issued a force change of passwords to all members. This requires your previous password to complete. Members who joined via the facebook plugin, that plugin is no longer available, and we don't believe passwords were saved in our database. You may need to have your password reset entirely, which can be done just by clicking the "contact us" link in the top page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Eh, even the best of websites are vulnerable to some sort of attack.

Well the unique way to check "this" is you should contact your Domain hoster, and ask if the nameservers were changed " Date, to Date " when the site was down ?

They should tell you directly... this would help you also.

But the most important thing is the site is up and working.
