Just a short message to let you know what the changes are. There are people claiming to know all about this hack and many different stories are floating around, but I don't feel like addressing any of them if you don't mind.
If everything went well, you had to change your password when loggin in. For your safety and that of the forum, you will be asked to change your password every 30 days. Annoying maybe, but necessary.
BY THE WAY: You need to have a password with both upper- as lower cases, otherwise it will not approve your password. <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: -->
I noticed most avatars are gone, so if yours is too, just upload it again using the user control panel.
I also deactivated a lot of spammers and users that didn't post in the last few months, and if you are one of them, just send me an email and I will fix it for you. I have disabled new registration for now until I have time to look into the spammer issues.
If you have questions, let me know. Also, if you see anything suspicious, alarm me or one of the mods immediately. Forum and website back-ups will be made daily again, but it's better to prevent this from happening again, although I think we might be fine for now.
More changes to the website and maybe also the forum will be made later on, after I got some sleep. I will also see if I can repost all the threads on here, but of course you can do that yourself as well, you would help me out in that case.
I hope you are all glad to be back, I know I am!
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. ~ Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) ~

The forum didn't ask me to change my password when I logged in.
Woo hoo my avatar is saved. I wouldn't be able to reload that one because I forgot where I saved it. My avatar is appropriate (I think) because it is family...
Can't stop this!
I am happy to be back. Thank you.
Peace
Thanks for all the hard work, Souza!
Thank you Souza for your immediate attention to the crash and helping us restore
our awesome home!
(Had a little trouble with the password and getting back in but its all good!!) <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Souza - Thank you so much for your commitment to making this forum the wonderful place it is to be and for continuing to look out for the welfare of its members. I hope you now get some much deserved rest! And by the way, I DID have to reset my password so yes, things seem to be working according to plan. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
*sigh of relief*
Thank you Souza.
I am glad i can log in again:)
I did like that bouncing smiley though.
Thanks Souza and BadKolo.
Keep the Faith!
My heart did a butterfly flip when I saw the notice up on the temporary site.<!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
